The Producers Guild of America (PGA) picks are in and like we’ve said, the Guild awards are your best bet at predicting Oscar. The five films nominated include, “The Dark Knight,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Frost/Nixon,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Milk.”
This is as convincing an argument as ever that “The Dark Knight” will earn itself an Best Picture nomination and if you’ve been paying close attention to the Playlist lately (which you probably haven’t because of the holidays), you know that more and more, we’re starting to believe that this will be a reality (to some of you this will be like: “duh, finally!”). Poor “Revolutionary Road” continues to be snubbed and it looks like “Doubt” will have to be satisfied with sweeping the acting categories.
