2011 Producers Guild of America Award Winners

Seems that Oscar race could be interesting after all -IF trend continues- as last night (well, not long ago) the first actual Academy voters gave the top award to The King Speech! News are all over but not yet at the site. Winners are in *BLUE.

Above names are directors and to check the list with the producers names plus TV categories go here. Winners will be announced on Saturday, January 22, 2011.

With the announcement of the feature films we get our first idea of how the Best Picture nominees could look at the Oscar, as members of the guild are also Academy voters and even if there are many other Academy members I tend to believe that not much will change as the ten nominated films are the same as the ones that everyone has been speculating will get nominated at Oscar. By the end of the month we will learn the winner and things could get a bit more interesting, but my crystal ball tells me that winner will be one of the following: The Social Network, The King’s Speech or True Grit.
