Producers Guild of America's 25th Annual PGA Awards – winners


Last night the Producers Guild of America held their 25th Annual PGA Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

The evening culminated with an unprecedented and surprising tie between two Oscar favourites, Gravity and 12 Years a Slave. This has been a tight awards-season with many prestige films and many contenders, and the two shared winners were considered joint frontrunners along with David O. Russell's American Hustle. What makes a tie so extremely unlikely is that the PGA is a large organization with over 6,000 members, and that they use a preferential voting system similar to what the Academy uses.

Alfonso Cuaron and David Heyman accepted on behalf of Gravity, while Brad Pitt was joined by director/producer Steve McQueen along with producers Anthony Katagas and Jeremy Kleiner.

The Documentary winner was Alex Gibney's We Steal Secrets: The Story Of Wikileaks. For Animated Motion Picture, the winner was the 3D Disney film Frozen.

On the television side, winners included Steven Soderbergh's Behind the Candelabra and the series Breaking Bad and Modern Family.
