'The Post' is revived by the PGA nom after missing out on SAG and WGA
The Producers Guild put out its top ten list today, which actually turned out to be a top eleven, claiming a tie produced an eleventh pick, although I find that suspicious. Not too many surprises here:
- The Big Sick
- Call Me By Your Name
- Dunkirk
- Get Out
- I, Tonya
- Lady Bird
- Molly's Game
- The Post
- The Shape of Water
- Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
- Wonder Woman
The PGA never matches the Oscar list 100%, and with 11 choices this time, I would say take three off, add one that didn't make it and that will be the Best Picture lineup. The three that won't make it from this would be Wonder Woman, Molly's Game and....either The Big Sick or I, Tonya or both. Both are looking strong with the guilds right now, but at least one of them will miss, since every year there's one or two guild favorites that don't go all the way. As for the movie that gets in instead, I would bet on The Florida Project, which is sort of a passion vote movie. I'm annoyed enough that it missed here, as it's my own favorite movie of the year, but I still have hope for it. The Golden Globes will happen this weekend, but I'm waiting for the DGA nominations to confirm what I've been suspecting for while, that Get Out is the movie that could actually win Best Picture this year. If Jordan Peele makes the DGA, I would start calling it the frontrunner.
