The Producers Guild of America presents the 2015 Producers Guild Awards honoring excellence in motion picture, television and new media productions, as well as some of the living LEGENDS who shape the profession. Considered one of the marquee events of the entertainment industry's awards season, the PGA held its first ceremony in 1990 when Richard Zanuck and Lili Fini Zanuck took home the motion picture prize for Driving Miss Daisy, establishing the Guild's awards as a bellwether for the Oscars. In 2014, for the first time in history, the PGA membership honoured both 12 Years a Slave and Gravity with the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. 12 Years a Slave went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture, marking the seventh consecutive year the Producers Guild Awards predicted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' choice.
The Producers Guild of America is the non-profit trade group that represents, protects and promotes the interests of all members of the producing team in film, television and new media. The Producers Guild has more than 6,700 members who work together to protect and improve their careers, the industry and community by providing members with employment opportunities, seeking to expand health benefits, promoting fair and impartial standards for the awarding of producing credits, as well as other education and advocacy efforts such as encouraging sustainable production practices.
