STEVEN Spielberg's presidential drama "Lincoln," musical "Les Miserables" and Kathyrn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden thriller "Zero Dark Thirty" were among 10 films earning Producers Guild Award nominations on Wednesday, as the Hollywood awards season gathered momentum.
Ben Affleck and George Clooney, two of the producers behind Affleck's Iran hostage drama "Argo," and the team that brought Quentin Tarantino's darkly humorous slavery Western "Django Unchained" to the screen also won nods for the awards handed out by the Producers Guild of America.
The critically acclaimed James Bond blockbuster "Skyfall," which last weekend surpassed US$1 billion at the worldwide box office, got a big boost to its Oscar hopes when producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson were included.
They joined a list that featured Ang Lee's shipwreck tale "Life of Pi," and quirky comedy "Silver Linings Playbook."
Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," and mythical indie film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" rounded out the feature film nominations, the PGA said in a statement.
The Producers Guild Awards will be handed out at a ceremony in Los Angeles on January 26 and will be a key indication of Hollywood sentiment ahead of the Oscars on February 24.
Many of the movies are expected to feature strongly on the list of Oscar nominations when those are announced on January 10. Eight of the movies are also in the running for best picture at the Golden Globe awards on January 13.
But the PGA had nothing for director Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit." It also snubbed early awards hopeful "The Master," a sign the cult tale starring Philip Seymour Hoffman may be losing steam in Hollywood.
