The nominees for the Producers Guild Awards have been announced. The contenders for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for feature film are "American Sniper", "Birdman", "Foxcatcher", "Gone Girl", "Grand Budapest Hotel", "The Imitation Game", "Nightcrawler", "The Theory of Everything" and "Whiplash". Most films were expected candidates, with possibly just "Nightcrawler" being something of a surprise, but the PGA's top 10 also shut out some other surefire candidates like "Selma", "Into the Woods" or "A Most Violent Year". The PGAs are usually a strong indicator for the Oscars, so whoever wins here will probably go on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards as well.
In the television category, the PGA nominated some usual suspects like "American Horror Story: Freak Show", "Sherlock", "Game of Thrones", "Breaking Bad", "Modern Family" and "Downton Abbey", but also new additions like "True Detective" and "Fargo".
The 26th annual Producers Guild Awards will be held on January 24th in Los Angeles.
Read the complete list of nominees after the jump.
