Tonight in Los Angeles, the Producers Guild of America will announce their choice for Best Picture.

ALmost with exception, that movie has gone on to win the Academy Award. Stay here for updates around 10pm Pacific Time.

The only times the PGA and Oscars have gone different ways were in 2017, when they chose “La La Land” and “Moonlight” won; 2016 when “The Big Short” was theirs and “Spotlight” won the Oscar. They were also wrong in 2005, 2006 and 2007 when “The Aviator,” “Brokeback Mountain,” and “Little Miss Sunshine” were their choices, as opposed to “Million Dollar Baby,” “Crash,” and “The Departed.”

A lot of the PGA choice goes into who the actual producers are. This year. Graham King, of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” is very popular. So we’ll see what happens. The winner will be a strong indicator, but nothing is 100%.
