Producers Guild of America Announces 2026 Awards Nominees

PGA-2026-NomsWe’re officially in that part of awards season where the shortlists matter, and the Producers Guild of America’s nominations offer an early read on which films are actually building momentum.

The PGA has announced the film and television nominees for the 37th Annual Producers Guild Awards, set to take place February 28, 2026, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The theatrical motion picture lineup includes Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value, Sinners, Train Dreams, and Weapons.

Warner Bros. leads studio representation with three nominated films, followed by Focus Features and Netflix with two apiece, and single entries from Apple and NEON. Notably absent from the list are major franchise sequels like Avatar: Fire and Ash and Wicked: For Good. Aside from Bugonia, a remake, the field leans heavily toward original stories and literary adaptations, continuing a broader awards-season preference for non-franchise titles.

Historically, the PGA’s top prize — the Darryl F. Zanuck Award — has been one of the most reliable Oscar bellwethers, aligning with the Academy Award for Best Picture in 17 of the past 22 years.

On the television side, drama nominees include Andor, The Diplomat, The Pitt, Pluribus, Severance, and The White Lotus, while comedy contenders range from The Bear and Hacks to Only Murders in the Building, South Park, and The Studio.

The ceremony will also recognize Amy Pascal, Jason Blum, and Mara Brock Akil with career achievement honors. Final voting closes February 3, with winners announced at the February 28 event.
