Producers Guild of America baru saja selesai menyelenggarakan acara penganugerahan Producers Guild Awards. Ajang penghargaan ini bisa dijadikan patokan utama untuk menerka, siapa yang akan membawa pulang tropi Best Picture di ajang Oscar nanti. Karena dalam 10 tahun terakhir tercatat 7 film pemenang PGA Awards telah membawa pulang tropi Best Picture di ajang Oscar, dimana 6 tahun terakhir hal tersebut terjadi secara berturut-turut. Namun tampaknya tahun ini menerka siapa yang akan membawa pulang tropi Best Picture di Oscar akan semakin sulit melihat hasil PGA Awards yang baru saja usai dilaksanakan.
Pertama kalinya dalam sejarah acara penghargaan ini, dua film memenangkan The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures! Kedua film tersebut adalah Gravity dan 12 Years a Slave. Dengan kemenangan kedua film ini mengesahkan bahwa perlombaan menuju Best Picture memang akan dikuasai oleh 3 film, American Hustle (yang menang di ajang Screen Actors Guild Awards), Gravity, dan 12 Years a Slave. Ini juga menjadi bukti betapa kompetitifnya awards season tahun 2013 ini. Namun jika dianalisa, kini kans Gravity-lah yang paling besar untuk memenangkan tropi Best Picture; mengingat Gravity diunggulkan di kategori Sutradara Terbaik dan juga kategori Editing.
Di kategori televisi, Breaking Bad membawa pulang tropi The Norman Felton Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, Drama. Sementara Modern Family mendapatkan tropi The Danny Thomas Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, Comedy. Kedua serial ini mengulang kesuksesan mereka di ajang Screen Actors Guild Awards kemarin.
