PGA Awards Nominations: ‘Dune 2,’ ‘September 5’ and ‘Wicked’ Make the Cut, ‘Nickel Boys’ and ‘Sing Sing’ Snubbed
Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Producers Guild of America (PGA) unveiled its 2025 Awards nominees on Thursday, honoring an eclectic slate of films poised to dominate this year’s Oscar race. Among the nominated films are Sean Baker’s poignant dramedy “Anora,” Brady Corbet’s ambitious historical epic “The Brutalist,” Edward Berger’s religious thriller “Conclave,” Jacques Audiard’s genre-bending musical “Emilia Pérez” and Jon M. Chu’s glittering adaptation of “Wicked.” Among the biggest surprises in the lineup is Tim Fehlbaum’s indie thriller “September 5,” which was acquired by Paramount Pictures after debuting at Venice and Telluride, making the cut, over RaMell Ross’ “Nickel Boys” and Greg Kwedar’s “Sing Sing.” The announcement comes amid logistical challenges caused by the devastating wildfires in Southern California, which prompted both the PGA and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to extend voting deadlines.
