Posted on Tue Jan 5th, 2010 8:20am PDT By X17 Staff
The Producers Guild of America announced the nominations today for their 2010 awards, and not surprisingly, they've decided to follow in the footsteps of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and expand their best-film category to 10 films, up from the traditional list of five.
For the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures, the PGA recognized Avatar, District 9, An Education, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Invictus, Precious, Star Trek, Up and Up in the Air.
Pixar/Disney's Up became the first animated film to nab a PGA nod for the Zanuck Award, and The Hollywood Reporter says that the addition of five more slots is to accommodate the sci-fi flicks in the category.
The awards will be presented on January 24 at the Hollywood Palladium.
