MUMBAI: The Producers Guild of America (PGA) has announced the nominations of both the motion picture and long-form television for the 24th Annual Producers Guild Awards.
Films like Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln and Les Miserables made the list. While some thought films like The Avengers, The Master or The Dark Knight Rises might be nominated, but they lost out to Beasts of the Southern Wild, Moonrise Kingdom and Skyfall.
Last year‘s PGA nominees saw three films miss the Oscar cut. They were Bridesmaids, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Ides of March. Instead Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close and The Tree of Life were nominated in their place.
All 2013 Producers Guild Award winners will be announced on 26 January.
