SCIENCE-FICTION scored big with the Producers Guild of America, with "Avatar," "Star Trek" and "District 9" taking three of the 10 nominations yesterday for the group's top film honors.
The group representing Hollywood producers also handed best-picture nominations to the animated blockbuster "Up," the World War II hit "Inglourious Basterds" and the critical favorites "The Hurt Locker," "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire," "Up in the Air," "An Education" and "Invictus."
The Producers Guild followed the lead of the Academy Awards and doubled its best-picture field to 10 nominees.
"Up" also is nominated for best animated film, along with "9," "Coraline," "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "The Princess and the Frog."
The guild picks typically are a good forecast for the eventual best-picture lineup at the Oscars, whose nominations come out February 2.
If Oscar choices run the same way, the show will gain the mass appeal organizers had sought to bring to Hollywood's biggest party. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences doubled the best-picture field last summer, hoping to bring a broader range of films into the awards fold, including the sort of blockbuster fare the Oscars often have lacked in recent years.
