Predictions Friday: The Producers Guild and the DGA

Predictions Friday: The Producers Guild and the DGA

The new rules for the BAFTA voting takes them out of bounds a bit in terms of predicting how the Oscars might go. Until such time as the Academy and other industry groups decide to start selecting via jury who should be nominated, rather than leaving it up to the voters themselves, the will BAFTAs no longer tell us much. Instead we will be need to look to the Directors and Producers Guilds, along with SAG, to find our trends and bellwethers among consensus voters.

On the the had, the Oscar nominees might end up being the same as those the BAFTA choose – you never know – but it’s also possible that BAFTA will stand out as an experimental anomaly, and it will be interesting to see how their results change things.

For now, we can pretty much see what 2021 is about, but we knew that at the beginning of the year, or at least anyone who has followed along with observations made on this site. We knew it was going to be a year about inclusion and equity in the film awards race, as it is everywhere else on the cultural Left. It has also been a year when normal factors in the equation were eclipsed by the tragedy of COVID that emptied out the streets and movie theaters and put the Oscar race squarely in the hands of the increasingly insular group of people who still care about it.

We know for months which films have been pushed and done well, and which films have been pushed that didn’t do well. We know that filmmakers are divided by many voters into groups to categorize them in terms of their presumed value and worth, relative to one another. Women, men, white men, people of color. That metric will likely influence how the two largest guilds decide their nominees, or else we think that is how it might go.

Oscar ballots go out today, that means they are less likely to be influenced by the PGA, the DGA or the BAFTA. They are, as we like to say around here, “flying blind.” But they’re working from the same basic set of information everyone else is. There aren’t that many films in the race to begin with.

The Producers Guild will have an even 10 nominees and 10 slots on their ballot, where Oscar voters don’t. They will next year. But this year, it is still the old system – which means one or two or three of those announced on the PGA won’t make it all the way into Oscar.

We have a contest for predicting the Producers Guild and the Directors Guild, and you can enter it here.

Let’s look at the Producers Guild first  – these are, more or less, the main contenders out of which 10 nominees will be chosen.

Nomadland – SAG (1), MPSE
Mank – SAG (1), SLC (2), MUAHS (1), ADG, MPSE, SDSA, CAS, VES (1), CDG
The Trial of the Chicago 7 – SAG (3), WGA, ADG, SDSA, MPSE (2), CAS
Minari – SAG (3), SLC (1)
Promising Young Woman – SAG (1), WGA, MUAHS (2), ADG, SDSA, CDG
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom – SAG (3), WGA, MUAHS (2), ADG, MPSE, SDSA, CDG
News of the World – SAG (2), WGA, SLC (1), ADG, MPSE (3), SDSA, CAS, VES (1)
Da 5 Bloods – SAG (4), SLC, ADG, VES (1), SDSA, CDG
Sound of Metal – SAG (1), WGA, MPSE (3), SDSA, CAS
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm – SAG (1), WGA, SLC (1), MUAHS (2), SDSA
Judas and the Black Messiah – SAG (1), WGA, CDG, SDSA
Soul – ADG (1), CAS (1), IFMCA (1), MPSE (1)
