The fact that Everything Everywhere won the 2023 PGA's Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures gave it even more momentum during awards season. On the list of nominees were also Elvis from Warner Bros., Top Gun: Maverick from Paramount, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever from Disney.
The Producers Guild is the only other awards show besides the Oscars that counts the votes in its top category using the preferential or ranked-choice system. This system is meant to find a choice that everyone agrees on, and the biggest question about "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" has been whether it was too divisive to win with this system.
The PGA win shows that "Everything, Everywhere" is not too divisive, and when added to the Directors Guild win from last week, it gives the presumed Oscar frontrunner a lot of momentum.
The award for animated feature went to "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio." Del Toro accepted the award, which was the first of the night. He then left the Beverly Hilton and went straight to UCLA's Royce Hall, where the Annie Awards were being held and his film won five more awards.
The 2023 PGA Awards were given out by the Producers Guild of America at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Awards were given to "The White Lotus" and "The Bear," the documentary "Navalny," and the animated film "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio," but everyone was watching the theatrical film award, which went to "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once."
People often look at the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures as a good indicator of who will win the Oscar for Best Picture, since 23 of the last 33 winners also won the Oscar. Jonathan Wang, Daniel Kwan, and Daniel Scheinert were in the room to accept the award (the latter two also wrote and directed the hit multiversal dramedy from A24). The PGA Award win makes them even more likely to win at the 95th Academy Awards on March 12.
