Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" upset "Avatar" at the Producers Guild of America's annual awards, handed out tonight at the Palladium in Hollywood. The film significantly increased its best picture chances with this win - suggesting "Avatar" is not as sewn up a winner as some had suggested. Though in the last 20 years, the PGA honoree has went on to win the Academy's Best Picture trophy 13 times - which is certainly not a perfect record.

The complete list of winners is below.
