The 2026 Producers Guild Awards is taking place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The ceremony’s top trophy, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, has historically served as the best predictor of who will win best picture at the Oscars, because of the similar membership size between PGA and the Academy and both of their use of the weighted preferential ballot. Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value, Sinners, Train Dreams and Weapons are this year’s nominees for that honor.
A total of 10 categories will be announced, alongside awards for animated motion picture and a wide range of TV offerings. Four awards were handed out ahead of Saturday night’s ceremony, with Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Sesame Street, Adolescence: The Making of Adolescence and The Wizard of Oz as those early winners. In addition to the competitive prizes, three special honors are being presented: Amy Pascal will receive the David O. Selznick Award, Jason Blum the Milestone Award and Mara Brock Akil the Norman Lear Award.
Presenters at this year’s ceremony include Amy Madigan, Delroy Lindo, Elle Fanning, Emily V. Gordon, Greta Gerwig, Ike Barinholtz, Jacob Elordi, Jason Ritter, Jessie Buckley, Joachim Trier, Kate Hudson, Kerry Condon, Kumail Nanjiani, Lisa Gilroy, Mariska Hargitay, Michael Keaton, Odessa A’zion, Paul Mescal, Ralph Farquhar, Regina Hall, Seth Rogen, Teyana Taylor, Thomas Lennon, Vinny Thomas, Wagner Moura, William H. Macy and Wumni Mosaku.
PGA executive director Susan Sprung kicked off the evening, acknowledging the events of the last 24 hours in the Middle East and “praying for peace.” She also addressed the recent deal for Paramount to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, saying, “I know all of us are also thinking about the future of one of our most storied studios and its implications for our industry more broadly. Please note that the guild’s position has not changed. We will continue to call on regulators for the scrutiny and ultimately the safeguards and protections that producers need, that everyone in this business deserves, and that are the right of those who consume what we create. The vitality of our industry is at stake and on that producers will not be silent.”
