The Shape of Water, Handmaid’s Tale Win 2018 Producers Guild Awards

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced this year’s winning motion picture, television, and digital productions at the 29th Annual Producers Guild Awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

The feature film The Shape of Water and its producers Guillermo del Toro and J. Miles Dale won the PGA’s Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. This category is one of the most eagerly-anticipated of season and widely considered a strong prognosticator for the Oscars, as the Zanuck Award has matched the win for Best Picture 19 times in its 28-year history. Also, the films Coco won for feature animation and Jane won the theatrical documentary category.

The Hulu television series The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 1) and its producers Bruce Miller, Warren Littlefield, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, Ilene Chaiken, Sheila Hockin, Eric Tuchman, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Joseph Boccia, Elisabeth Moss, Kira Snyder, and Leila Gerstein won the PGA’s Norman Felton Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, Drama.

Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Season 1) and its producers Daniel Palladino, Amy Sherman-Palladino, Sheila Lawrence, and Dhana Rivera Gilbert won the Danny Thomas Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, Comedy.

The PGA also bestowed its special honors to Universal Pictures Chairman Donna Langley with the Milestone Award, Producer Charles Roven with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures, Producer Ryan Murphy with the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television, Producer Ava DuVernay with the Visionary Award, and the feature film “Get Out” with the Stanley Kramer Award.
