Producers Guild Awards Make Changes for 2020
The Producers Guild of America has revealed key dates and changes for the trade organization’s annual film and television awards. The PGA has launched a new user-friendly website in order to streamline the submission process for the Producers Mark (“p.g.a.”) certification as well as the 31st Producers Guild Awards, which will take place at the Hollywood Palladium on Saturday, January 18, 2020.
Improvements to the site include improved payment options and time-saving applicant user accounts. The site is now active and accepting submissions in all categories.
Last year’s Producers Guild Awards honored Jane Fonda with the 2019 Stanley Kramer Award, Amy Sherman-Palladino with the 2019 Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television and Kenya Barris with the 2019 Visionary Award. Also honored were the producing teams behind “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” “Green Book,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “The Americans” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” were among those honored in the motion pictures and television categories.
Key dates for the 31st Annual Producers Guild Awards season are:
