Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (Focus Features)

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) has announced seven finalists for the PGA award for Documentary Feature today. 

They are:

The Dawn Wall
Free Solo
Hal
Into the Okavango
RBG
Three Identical Strangers
Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

With the previously announced nominations by Cinema Eye Honors and Independent Documentary Association only one film has landed on all three lists: Won’t You Be My Neighbor? The Morgan Neville-directed doc also won the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Documentary last week. 

Last year’s winner here, Jane, was not Oscar-nominated. One film on the PGA list, Into the Okavango, is not on the official Oscar submission list. 

Nominations for the final five here and in the feature film and television categories for the PGA will be announced on January 4, 2019 and the 2019 Producers Guild Awards will take place on January 19, 2019 at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles where the final winners will be announced.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
