The Producers Guild has nominated a bunch of films we already know for their annual awards. But they’ve left out Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World.” That’s surprising since Scott had to re-shoot the movie– and did it brilliantly– in 10 days. That should bring an award in itself. Also missing: “The Darkest Hour.”
Some combination of these movies will make the final 9 for the Oscars. My guess is that “Wonder Woman” won’t make the Oscar cut, nor “Molly’s Game”– one of my personal favorites of the year. Interesting too that Netflix and Amazon were ostracized as well. No “Mudbound” or “First They Killed My Father.” Too bad.
