Apparently we are at the business end of the awards season as the Guilds kick into gear. The Producers Guild Awards nominees were revealed earlier, with a mixed bag of reactions from the film stratosphere. Critically acclaimed films like If Beale Street Could Talk, Eighth Grade, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, First Man, Hereditary, First Reformed, all featured in the line-up. By ‘featured’ I mean ‘totally absent’. Nowhere to be seen. Zilch. I suppose it is understandable given the universal praise of films like Vice, Green Book, and Bohemian Rhapsody. By ‘understandable’ I mean ‘totally absurd’. The mind truly boggles. Here are the actual nominees:
