34TH ANNUAL PRODUCERS GUILD AWARDS

Hollywood's finest graced the red carpet before the Producers Guild of America awards in Los Angeles on Saturday February 25th 2023.

Among those attending were Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Williams, Amanda Seyfried, Sandra Oh, Cate Blanchett and Guillermo del Toro.

Tom Cruise was honored for his nearly three decades of work as a producer, and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” solidified its status as the frontrunner for the best picture Oscar by taking the top prize at the awards.

The award has proven to be perhaps the best indicator for what will win the top honor at the Oscars, with four of the past five and 11 of the past 14 PGA winners going on to win best picture.

PGA wins by “CODA” last year and “Nomadland” in 2021 set each apart as frontrunners before winning best picture.
