2011 Producers Guild Awards nominees... First up was the PGA, whose shortlist for their most prestigious honour - The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer Of Theatrical Motion Pictures - has few surprises and looks very similar to what we should expect when the nominees for Best Picture are announced at the back end of January (as it happens, this particular award is typically a strong indicator of the eventual winner of the Best Picture Oscar).

Selznick Achievement Award In Theatrical Motion Pictures), Laura Ziskin (Visionary Award) and RealD (Vanguard Award).
2011 Writers Guild Awards nominees... Unlike the PGA, the recipients of the Writers Guild Awards usually vary from the eventual Oscar winners due to stringent qualification criteria which has made a number of Academy Award hopefuls such as Toy Story 3, Blue Valentine, The King's Speech and Winter's Bone ineligible. Take a look at their shortlists...
