Producers Guild Sets Awards Date – January 28, 2017

The Producers Guild of America has set the date for the 28th Annual PGA Awards. The awards show will be held on January 28, 2017 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel with Amy Pascal and Donald De Line serviing as the Awards Chairs. The 2017 Producers Guild Awards will honor excellence in motion picture, television and new media productions, as well as some of the living legends who shape the profession.

Donald De Line is a producer and executive, he has worked on films such as The Italian Job and I Love You, Man. He is working Going In Style and Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. Amy Pascal is a film producer and formerly served as Chairperson of the Motion Pictures Group of Sony Pictures and Co-Chairperson of SPE. Her films include the upcoming Ghostbusters and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The Guild’s Awards submission website is now active and accepting submissions for Producers Guild Awards eligibility in all categories. Producers and companies wishing to submit their productions should do so at producersguildawards.com

This year, the Guild is effecting a transition in its award eligibility period for television productions, moving towards a calendar year. To accommodate this shift, the award eligibility period for most television series production has been extended for the 28th annual Producers Guild Awards. For all television productions—with the exception of long-form series/specials and sports programming, which already run on a calendar year—the eligibility period for the 2017 Producers Guild Awards is June 1, 2015 – December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the submission deadline for these television categories has moved from the spring to the fall and is now September 30, 2016.

Starting with the 2018 Awards, the regular 12-month period for television award eligibility will resume, covering programs premiering January 1, 2017- December 31, 2017.
