The 27th annual Producers Guild Awards ceremony took place last night in LA’s Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, where not only producers were present, but several stars like Sarah Paulson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michael B. Jordan, America Ferrera, Ray Liotta, Amanda Seyfried, amongst others, went to show their support. The awards are known to carry a specific importance for Oscar frontrunners, since, for the last eight years the film that’s won the PGA has also (possibly coincidentally) won the top prize at the Academy Awards. This was the case for Iñárritu with last year’s “Birdman,” with which he took both prizes.
However, after last night’s ceremony, things might have changed for the Mexican director as “The Big Short,” which addresses the 2008 financial crisis and starring Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and Steve Carell, beat “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Bridge of Spies,” “Ex Machina,” “The Martian,” “The Revenant,” “Sicario,” “Spotlight,” “Brooklyn” and “Straight Outta Compton” for the top prize. If theories are true, Iñárritu’s “The Revenant” could get snubbed in the biggest categories, despite being nominated 12 times.
