The Wild Robot Emerges as Best Animated Production of the 36th Annual Producers Guild Awards

‘Anora’ bags top honour at Annual Producers Guild Awards; ‘The Wild Robot’ emerges as best animated production

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) hosted the 36th Annual Producers Guild Awards at The Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City. The Wild Robot bagged the award for Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures alongside other winners in the live action segment.

The star-studded evening recognised influential producers and entertainment icons with special honours including Chris Meledandri with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures; Taika Waititi with the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television; Dana Walden with the Milestone Award; and the late Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein with the Trailblazer Award.

To kick off the evening, Producers Guild of America presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald De Line delivered a call to action to bring production back to Los Angeles. “Studios, streamers and financiers…please help bring production back to LA. The movie business made Los Angeles and now it’s time for Los Angeles to make movies again,” said De Line.

This year’s PGA Awards also honoured the late Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein with the Trailblazer Award for their immeasurable contributions to the entertainment industry. Kate Hudson and Jane Fonda took the stage to honour Obst and Weinstein, respectively, and their legacies.

The show also featured a surprise musical element, which further energized an already lively audience. Geraldine Viswanathan presented the ‘Next Gen Award,’ which does not exist, to actress Bryce Charles. Charles then performed an original song, titled Miracle, which hilariously lamented the struggles producers go through, and the ‘miracles’ that are required to make a film.

Presenters, honourees, and nominees at the ceremony included Alan Cumming, Adrien Brody, Ariana Grande, Billy Eichner, Boyd Holbrook, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo, Cristin Milioti, Elle Fanning, Geraldine Viswanathan, Jane Fonda, Jeff Goldblum, Jodie Foster, John Magaro, Josh Brolin, Kaley Cuoco, Kate Hudson, Lamorne Morris, Mikey Madison, Nicole Byer, Peter Sarsgaard, Ryan Murphy and Steve Carrell, among many more.
