The Producer’s Guild of America announced their nominees for top awards yesterday and four women are included on the list for the top honor which is the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer Of The Year Award In Theatrical Motion Pictures.
Here are some things I noticed:
Kathleen Kennedy is nominated for both best feature (War Horse) and best animated feature (The Adventures of Tin Tin).
Kung Fu Panda 2 was produced by a single woman — Melissa Cobb (as was Cars 2) so that means that film is directed and produced by a woman and the film is the top grossing female directed film of the year.
The women are:
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo — Producers: Ceán Chaffin, Scott Rudin
Midnight In Paris — Producers: Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum
Moneyball — Producers: Michael De Luca, Rachael Horovitz, Brad Pitt
War Horse — Producers: Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg
The were a bunch of women centric films nominated including Bridesmaids and The Help but surprisingly, neither of those have a female producer.
It is also important to note that there are many women nominated as producer in the animated category.
The Adventures of Tintin — Producers: Peter Jackson, Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg
Cars 2 — Producer: Denise Ream
Kung Fu Panda 2 — Producer: Melissa Cobb
Puss In Boots — Producers: Joe M. Aguilar, Latifa Ouaou
