PGA Predictions

The Producers Guild of America is really the last major awards nominations announcement before Oscar nominees are announced next Tuesday. The PGA announces tomorrow. I am making predictions before the Golden Globes happen because votes and ballots are already in and tonight’s winners will have no effect on tomorrow’s nominees. The PGA tends to go for some of the more broadly popular films, and Awards Daily points out that the past few years the match-up between the PGA and Best Picture has been four for five. They often like animated films, but last year they made an entire category for animated films and I will predict those as well. I have no real idea about this, but I am going to throw in “Hairspray” just for fun, even though I do not think it will factor into the Oscar race too much. Whatever. We will see.

Animated Motion Picture predictions:
BEE MOVIE
BEOWULF
RATATOUILLE
SHREK THE THIRD
