The PGA is a sturdy bellwether for the likely nominees for the Best Picture Oscar, which will be a guaranteed ten this year. This opens up the field to more adventurous choices. While ABC is rooting for a global blockbuster like “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to gain a Best Picture slot, it is not listed by the more mainstream PGA. Since its inception, the PGA has predicted 22 of the past 32 winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Additionally, the PGA has extended the the voting window for select categories. Final ballots for TV and Film will now close on March 8; Final Ballots for Children’s, Short Form and Sports Programs will remain on their originally announced poll closing date on February 10.
Among the studios, Warner Bros. nabbed slots for steady-as-they-go titles “King Richard” and “Dune,” MGM-UA nabbed “Licorice Pizza,” Universal’s “Belfast,” from specialty distributor Focus Features, and animated “Sing 2” (Illumination Studios), while Disney landed not only Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” (Twentieth Century) but animated contenders “Luca,” “Encanto,” and “Raya and the Last Dragon.” Left off the list are Netflix’s late-breaking “The Lost Daughter” (Netflix) and Joel Coen’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth” (A24/AppleTV+), as well as MGM-UA’s “House of Gucci” and “No Time to Die,” Searchlight’s “Nightmare Alley,” and any international feature contenders.
