32nd Producers Guild Awards Goes Virtual For 2021

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) today announced that the 2021 Producers Guild Awards will be held virtually and released key dates for the 32nd Annual Awards Show. The Producers Guild Awards will take place on Wednesday, March 24th. Additional details about the awards show will be announced soon.

“Our 2021 PGA Awards will look different than previous years with a shift to a virtual presentation, but we’re excited by the opportunity to put on our show in a more accessible, personal, and entirely new way. Shining a light on the tireless work of our peers and the pioneers of our industry who are leading us into the next chapter of entertainment will be a great way to reflect and regroup as we continue to move our industry forward. Amidst the changes happening all around us, our commitment to our members, and to uplifting the art and craft of producing, is steadfast,” said Gail Berman and Lucy Fisher, Presidents of the Producers Guild of America.

The Producers Guild Awards recognize the producers who have created an undeniable impact on the producing profession. Last year’s honors included Marta Kauffman for the 2020 Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television, Ted Sarandos for the Milestone Award, the film Bombshell for the 2020 Stanley Kramer Award, and Octavia Spencer for the 2020 Visionary Award. Producing teams behind 1917, Succession, Apollo 11, Toy Story 4, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Chernobyl, and more were among those honored in the motion pictures and television categories. 

The Guild will share additional information about eligibility dates for the Innovation Award, as well as its annual PGA East and West Coast Celebrations of 2021 Producers Guild Awards nominees and producing teams at a later date.
