The Producers Guild Awards are awarded to those producers who are eligible pursuant to the PGA’s Rules and Procedures for Accreditation. The PGA conducts an accreditation process on the nominated television programs and theatrical motion pictures to determine which producers performed a majority of the producing functions from development through production and post production. If a specific credited producer thought s/he was excluded after the accreditation process, the producer was able to file a formal appeal for inclusion, which was decided upon by the PGA Accreditation Committee.
Please note that an “&” denotes a producing team.

In addition, the PGA will also honor Clint Eastwood with their Milestone Award. Roger Corman will receive the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures and Norman Lear will receive the Producers Guild Achievement Award in Television. The Stanley Kramer Award will be presented to Good Night, and Good Luck producer, Grant Heslov; and The Vanguard Award, presented by Intel, will be bestowed upon AOL Chairman and CEO, Jon Miller.
