2007 Producers Guild Awards, Nominees Announced

The Producers Guild of America announced the nominated motion pictures and eligible producers for the 18th Annual Producers Guild of America Awards, to be held January 20, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles.

The PGA will also honor Ron Meyer with the organization''s Milestone Award. Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher will receive the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures, and Jerry Bruckheimer will receive the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television. Ken Ehrlich will be honored with the Visionary Award, and Will Wright will receive the Vanguard Award. The Stanley Kramer Award will be presented to An Inconvenient Truth.

The Producers Guild Awards are awarded to those producers who are eligible pursuant to the PGA''s Rules and Procedures for Accreditation. The PGA conducts an accreditation process on the nominated television programs and theatrical motion pictures to determine which producers performed a majority of the producing functions from development through production and post production. If a specific credited producer thought s/he was excluded after the accreditation process, the producer was able to file a formal appeal for inclusion, which was decided upon by the PGA Accreditation Committee.
