The Producers Guild of America has announced its complete list of nominees in the categories of theatrical motion pictures and animated theatrical motion pictures, in addition to previously announced television and documentary nominees.
The PGA's best film award is officially known as the Darryl F. Zanuck award for outstanding producer of theatrical motion pictures. The nominees in that category include Oscar best picture frontrunners La La Land, Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Hell or High Water, Lion, Hacksaw Ridge, Hidden Figures, Fences and Arrival.
Fox's Ryan Reynolds-starring anti-superhero movie Deadpool also landed a nomination in the category after previously scoring Golden Globe, WGA and Critics' Choice award nominations, winning two of the four Critic's Choice awards for which it was nominated.
The guild also announced its five nominees in the category of outstanding producer of animated theatrical motion pictures: Finding Dory, Kubo and the Two Strings, Moana, The Secret Life of Pets and Zootopia.
