As a seasoned documentarian with decades of experience under my belt, I must say I find the recent PGA documentary nominations quite intriguing. It seems like the PGA is taking a different path this year, veering off from the expected Oscar doc nominees according to the Feinberg Forecast.
The Producers Guild has revealed its candidates for the yearly documentary prize, adding yet another twist to an unpredictable competition. Notably, none of the PGA’s nominees align with the top ten predicted Oscar documentary nominees based on the most recent Feinberg Forecast.
The PGA’s six nominees for outstanding producer of documentary motion pictures are:
Gaucho Gaucho
Mediha
Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa
Porcelain War
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
We Will Dance Again
Historically, the PGA (Producers Guild of America) often differs from the Oscars; for instance, last year, only one title they nominated, “20 Days in Mariupol“, was also up for an Oscar. However, the highest-ranked PGA documentary on our predicted Oscar list is “Super/Man“, coming in at No. 12.
As a fervent film enthusiast, I was eager to see “No Other Land,” the Occupied Territories documentary that ranked No. 2 in forecasts, make it to the Producers Guild of America (PGA) list. Unfortunately, this poignant depiction of the displacement of a West Bank town by the Israeli Defense Forces was not among the chosen few. On the other hand, “We Will Dance Again,” Yariv Mozer’s exploration of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel’s Nova festival, distributed by Paramount+, did secure a spot. Interestingly, “No Other Land” was recently honored as the best documentary by the New York Film Critics Circle. The Oscars will unveil their 15-film documentary shortlist on December 17.
Additionally, absent from the PGA nominations list were “Will & Harper,” a road movie by Will Ferrell and Harper Steele which tied with “Super/Man” for the title of best documentary at the Critics Choice Documentary Awards last month. Also missing was “Sugarcane,” a Canadian inquiry into the Indian school system that recently won the award for best documentary at the National Board of Review, a favorite among pundits.
The winners will be declared during the PGA awards ceremony, which is scheduled for February 8th, taking place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
