Producers Guild Awards The Artist

Producers Guild Awards The Artist
Looking strong but silent for Oscars

The temperature on the awards season kettle went up another few degrees last night as the Producers Guild of America announced their awards, and The Artist reigned triumphant. The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn took the Animated category, and Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest took the Documentary prize.

The PGA awards (not to be confused with golf) are probably the single best predictor of the Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards - although a record of picking 15 of the last 22 winners is by no means a perfect score. Still, it will have given the Oscar hopes of both Michael Hazanavicius and Steven Spielberg a boost ahead of tomorrow's Academy Award nominations and February 26' ceremony.
