Producers Guild of America sets 35th PGA Awards for same day as Spirit Awards

The Producers Guild of America has set next year’s 35th PGA Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 25, 2024, PGA presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald DeLine announced on Wednesday. The announcement comes two days after the Spirit Awards announced February 25 as the date for their awards, which will take place earlier in the day.

Everything Everywhere All At Once, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and Navalny were last year’s big winners, all of which went on to win Oscars in their respective categories.

Since the era of the Oscar Best Picture and PGA expanded lineups, the two have matched up 11 out of 14 times. 2015’s The Big Short won PGA but lost Best Picture to Spotlight, 2016’s La La Land lost to Moonlight and 1917 lost to 2019’s Parasite. 2013 provided the first ever tie at PGA between 12 Years a Slave and Gravity, with the former going on to a Best Picture Oscar win. The Producers Guild uses the same preferential ballot that the Oscars use for Best Picture, which favors consensus over a simple majority vote.

Funny or Die CEO Mike Farah and chief creative officer Joe Farrell will return as event chair for the 2024 PGA Awards and will be produced by Anchor Street Collective. Branden Chapman is the executive producer, Carleen Cappelletti is co-executive producer and Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is PR agency.
