The winners of the 2026 Producers Guild Awards were announced over the course of three days, culminating in a Saturday night ceremony honoring the winners of Motion Pictures and Television categories at the Fairmont Century Plaza.

The ceremony’s top honor, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, has historically correlated closely with the Best Picture Oscar outcome, with 17 of the previous 22 winners going on to also win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

Winners of the Children’s, Short Form, Sports and PGA Innovation Award were announced on Thursday during PGA’s West Coast nominee and producing team celebrations.

The Producers Guild Awards ceremony will also include special honors celebrating distinguished producers whose careers reflect sustained excellence and influence. Honorees this year include Amy Pascal (David O. Selznick Achievement Award), Jason Blum (Milestone Award), and Mara Brock Akil (Norman Lear Achievement Award). On Thursday night, Lydia Dean Pilcher was honored with the Vance Van Petten Entrepreneurial Spirit Producing Award. Jessica Li was announced as the recipient of the Debra Hill Fellowship supporting emerging producers.

We’ll have to see how things go at The Actor Awards on Sunday night but One Battle After Another is looking like it’s going to be the Oscar-winning Best Picture when the envelope is opened in March.
