While 2010 may be over, awards season is still heating up as we get closer to the big awards ceremonies. Today we have the nominees from theProducers Guild of America(PGA), a nice little predecessor to the Academy Awards with the honor of winning being the equivalent of winning Best Picture in feature films, animation and documentary. In addition, the PGA awards usually give us a good idea of what films will be nominated for Best Picture when the Oscar nominations come around. Of course, last yearStar Trekhadone of the slotsfor the Producer of the Year award, but the film did not end up in the Oscar race. See the full list below!

For the most part I'm pleased with the choices for Producer of the Year. However, I honestly don't thinkThe Kids Are All Rightis good enough to be amongst the rest of the films. The performances in the film are astounding, but the film as a whole is kind of sloppy, incomplete and really nothing more than an average adult comedy with some drama tossed in. And I may get flamed for this, but I thinkBuriedis more deserving of a nomination than127 Hours(or at least deserves to be included alongside it). Without the use of flashbacks or any other narrative device that takes you outside of the small wooden box in which Ryan Reynolds finds himself buried alive, I found the story more captivating and impressively shot within the underground setting.
As for animation, I'm a little disappointed there's not five slots this year consideringTangleddefinitely deserved some love. I would go so far as to say thatTangledwas superior toDespicable Me. Maybe the Oscars will show it some love with a nomination for Best Animated Film. In the documentary arena, I'm wondering whereExit Through the Gift Shopis on this list. The doc has been praisedall over the place, and has even appeared onsomelistsas one of the best films of 2010 (not just best documentary of 2010). Anyway, the winners for the PGA awards will be announced on January 22nd, and we'll keep you posted with the rest of the awards news cropping up now.What do you think of the PGA nominees?
