It was surprisingly easy to pick nine out of the ten Best Picture nominees for the Producers Guild, which means we will probably have a lot of winners in our contest. What this means is what it seems to mean every year: our method for finding the popular films in a consensus vote is pretty much right on. If you look at Gurus of Gold, for instance, you’ll see these...
It is always this time of year when you know for sure whether a film is going to finish the race as the “winner” or not. The Producers Guild has, for the last two years anyway, been the turning point. The Globes come and go and one year it was Avatar and the next year it was The Social Network. Then the Producers Guild honored The Hurt Locker, and the...

Carpetbagger says of last night’s events at the PGA: Christian Colson, the producer of ‚ÄúSlumdog,‚Äù was short and graceful in his acceptance of the big award for the night, which he dedicated to the people of Mumbai where the film just premiered to some controversy and raucous crowds. The nice turn made the Bagger wonder, ‚ÄúWhy can‚Äôt they all...
