There is really only one big surprise in today’s announcement of the 2014 Producers Guild Award nominees, that is the snubbing of Joel and Ethan Coen‘s Inside Llewyn Davis, which I assume gave way to Woody Allen‘s Blue Jasmine and Dallas Buyers Club.
The rest of the theatrical nominees are pretty much to be expected, including the likes of 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle and Gravity. It seems the recent dust-up over The Wolf of Wall Street had no bearing on the nominees as it was included and yet again Her remains a part of the race as the one film I think could attempt to prove spoiler in a couple of the major Oscar categories.
I’ve included the theatrical, animated and television nominees directly below along with a slew of other nominations the org plans on handing out.
