The Producers Guild of America has kicked off its 2025 PGA Awards ceremony Saturday night at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, culminating a week of events on both coasts to honor the past year’s best in producing across TV and motion pictures.
Follow along below for the list of winners as they are announced.
Among the awards in 10 categories to be revealed tonight will be the winner of the PGA’s marquee Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, the guild’s Oscar bellwether category that has aligned with the Academy Award winner for Best Picture 16 of the past 21 years. Last year, it aligned with Oscar by giving the award to Oppenheimer.
This year’s Zanuck nominees are the producers behind Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, A Real Pain, September 5, The Substance and Wicked. Anora is coming off a big win last night at the Critics Choice Awards, where it won Best Picture, following Golden Globes wins in the big Best Picture categories for Emilia Pérez and The Brutalist.
The PGA tonight will also present honorary awards to Chris Meledandri (David O. Selznick Achievement Award), Dana Walden (Milestone Award), Taika Waititi (Norman Lear Achievement Award), and Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein (Trailblazer Award).
Earlier in the week, events in New York and Los Angeles handed out the year’s first PGA awards, with Netflix’s docuseries Simone Biles Rising winning for Outstanding Sports Program and the producers of Max’s Sesame Street winning for Outstanding Children’s Program for a third consecutive year. Also taking trophies were the producing team behind FX’s docuseries Shōgun: The Making of Shōgun for Outstanding Short Form Program and the producers of Cosm Studios’ Orbital winning the PGA Innovation Award, the latter a juried award that celebrates outstanding entertainment endeavors across VR, AR, experiential and other emerging media.
