Nomadland Wins Producers Guild of America Award

Nomadland has won the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures from the Producers Guild of America. This now places Chloé Zhao’s film in the driver’s seat to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Elsewhere, Disney Pixar’s Soul expectedly took out the PGA’s animation prize, Disney+’s Hamilton won the televised or streamed motion picture category, while My Octopus Teacher scored an upset victory in the documentary category to potentially push it to the front of the pack in the Oscars race for Best Documentary Feature.
