2017 PGA Awards Winners: 'La La Land' Keeps Going Strong, 'Stranger Things' Gets Some Love
With the Academy Awards less than a month away, we're in the heart of awards season. The nominations for the Oscars were just announced last week, but the various guilds are already handing out their awards leading up to Hollywood's big night. Tonight will see the announcement of the Screen Actors Guild Awards, but before that, we already have the winners of this year's Producers Guild of America Awards.
The 2017 PGA award winners were announced this past Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, honoring producers both in motion pictures and television. It should come as no surprise that La La Land came out on top with the The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, continuing its march to likely win many if not all of the 14 Oscars it was nominated for. But where did the rest of the awards fall? Which animated film came out on top? Which TV series?
Find out all the 2017 PGA awards winners after the jump.
La La Land has the best chance of winning Best Picture, and even moreso after taking home the PGA award against fellow nominees Arrival, Deadpool, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, Lion, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight. All of those movies, except Deadpool, are also nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, so the race will be pretty much the same, and the result seems to be a foregone conclusion unless Moonlight pulls out an upset.
