24th ANNUAL PRODUCERS GUILD AWARDS NOMINATIONS
If the writer imagines a story and the actors bring it to life, the producers are those who make it happen. You can have the greatest director or the most sought-after cinematographer, but nothing is possible without the necessary resources to bring movies, television and all new media to the masses. To recognize such achievements, the PGA has announced their nominations for the 24th Annual Producers Guild Awards.
Whether on the big screen or small, whatever entertained you this past year is most likely represented. Here are the nominees for some notable categories.
