Producers Guild of America Nominees

Following the suit of Oscar, the Producers Guild has expanded their nominee list to ten films this year, and that move has yielded a few surprises.

Sci-Fi crowd favorites Star Trek and District 9 found their way onto the Guild’s shortlist along with the requisite cadre of prestige pictures and critical darlings to round out the rest of the top ten.  Notably absent from the list is Nine, whose Oscar hopes are fading fast.

Will Oscar follow the PGA’s lead and use its ten slots to throw in a few movies that audiences liked as well as critics?  We’ll have to wait and see.

Check out all the nominees below. . .
