“Gravity,” “American Hustle” and “12 Years a Slave” are among the films nominated for the top feature-film award by the Producers Guild of America[1] .

The other nominees: “Blue Jasmine[2] ,” “Captain Phillips,” “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Her,” “Nebraska[3] ,” “Saving Mr. Banks,” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”


Although the nominations included most of the films considered prime contenders for the Oscars, the Coen brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis” and “Lee Daniels[4] ’ The Butler” were both was surprisingly left off the list.


In the feature-film category, the Producers Guild[5] Award is one of the most reliable predictors of the Oscars.


PGA and Oscar Best Picture winners have coincided 17 times in the 24-year existence of the Producers Guild[6] Awards, including the last six years in a row.


Since the Academy moved from five to 10 Best Picture nominees and the Producers Guild[7] followed suit, 32 of the 40 PGA nominees have gone on to receive Oscar nominations.


In those four years, the only Oscar nominees not to receive PGA nominations were “The Blind Side,” “A Serious Man,” “Winter’s Bone,” “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” “The Tree of Life[8] ” and “Amour.”


The Producers Guild[9] stuck with a full slate of 10 nominees when the Academy moved in 2011 to a variable system that produces anywhere between five and 10. In the past two years, the PGA has had 10 nominees to the Academy’s nine.


When it comes to final voting, the PGA is the one awards body that uses the same preferential system to count final ballots as the Academy. Its awards for “The Hurt Locker,” “The King’s Speech,” “The Artist” and “Argo” were crucial indicators that those films would triumph with the Academy as well.


The Producers Guild[10] Awards will take place on Jan. 19 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel[11] . Lori McCreary[12] and Michael DeLuca[13] will serve as co-chairs for the non-televised show.
