2025 Producers Guild Awards Winners List

The 2025 Producers Guild Awards are being presented at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

For the guild’s top film prize, the Daryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, the nominees are Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, A Real Pain, September 5, The Substance and Wicked.

Kicking off the ceremony, Presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald De Line took the stage for their opening remarks and talked about the recent wildfire tragedy that struck Los Angeles. “Some of our members were profoundly affected, and most of us know someone touched by the disaster,” De Line told the audience.

They revealed that the PGA started a fire fund to benefit those displaced or impacted by the fires, and told the audience that they had raised $450,000 so far, encouraging attendees to keep donating with QR codes at their tables.

Kaley Cuoco presented the first award, the Danny Thomas Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television in Comedy, which was awarded to Hacks. The show’s writer and producer accepted the award and took a moment to honor the city of Altadena, which was greatly impacted by the fires last month.

“Hacks has shot in Los Angeles for five years now, and so much on location, particularly in Altadena,” she said. “Altadena was where Deborah Vance’s L.A. house was, where the businesses who were so kind to our cast and crew were… the people of Altadena are good people and our hearts are with them, and the people of Los Angeles are good people and our hearts are with them, and us leaders need to keep this industry thriving for not just the people in this room at the top.”

Early in the ceremony, Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Jeff Goldblum also presented a reel of the film as part of the PGA’s Darry F. Zanuck award nominee package. Jane Fonda and Kate Hudson then took the stage to present the Trailblazer Award, which was previously announced would be handed to producers Paula Weinstein and Lynda Obst, who both died last year. “Paula knew funny… Paula’s values are what got her out of bed in the morning, she always found a way to marry her values to her wildly popular TV shows and films,” Fonda says of Weinstein.

Hudson then honored Obst: “She was a fighter, she loved great filmmaking and if you were not working to your potential, you’d be hearing it from Lynda.” Hudson reflected on her own personal experiences with Obst, who was a producer on Hudson’s film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

No Oscar precursor’s top award is more informative about the best picture Oscar race than the Producers Guild of America’s Zanuck Award.

The PGA is about the same size as the Film Academy — both have about 10,000 members. The PGA and the Academy each nominate 10 films for its top honor. And, like the Academy but almost no other awards group, the PGA uses a weighted preferential ballot to select that category’s winner.

Last year, Oppenheimer won the Zanuck Award ahead of winning the best picture Oscar. Twelve of the past 15 Oscar best picture winners have won the Zanuck award.

On the TV side, the drama series nominees are Bad Sisters, The Diplomat, Fallout, Shogun and Slow Horses. The comedy series nominees are Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks and Only Murders in the Building. And limited or anthology series nominees are Baby Reindeer, Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans, The Penguin, Ripley and True Detective: Night Country.

Winners in the children’s, sports and shortform program categories and the PGA innovation award were announced earlier this week at nominee celebrations in New York and L.A.

In addition to the competitive prizes, Dana Walden, Taika Waititi, Chris Meledandri and the late Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein are being honored during Saturday night’s ceremony.

In the wake of the devastating wildfires that raged across Los Angeles, the Producers Guild is contributing a portion of net proceeds from this year’s PGA Awards to a fund, established in partnership with the Entertainment Community Fund, to support producers affected by the fires.

Amid the fires, the PGA also extended the voting window for members to vote on this year’s film and TV nominees, with the announcement of those nominations postponed twice before they were announced on Jan. 16.
