Documentaries come in al shapes and sizes. Some are groundbreaking works from experimental art world heavyweights while others are rudimentary pieces of filmmaking that are elevated by a captivating subject or theme.
Somewhere in the middle is Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan.
Directed by Linda Saffire and Adam Schlesinger, Restless Creature introduces viewers to Wendy Whelan, prime ballerina and tenured member of the New York City Ballet. With three decades of professional work under her belt, Whelan has worked with a who’s who of ballet greats, with legendary choreographers like Christopher Wheeldon even crafting roles specifically for her. However, when we meet Whelan, it’s not as she’s taking a bow after yet another superb performance. Instead this story is one as much about the human spirit and it’s resilience as it is specifically about Whelan and her work.

"The Social Network's" climb to Oscar victory was put to a halt by the Producers Guild, giving its much-coveted Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures to Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech!" (Full list of PGA Awards nominees and winners below)
Thus, making this one of the most unpredictable Oscars in recent years. Will the unclear antagonists and protagonists of "The Social Network" triumph over the "against all odds" story of "The King's Speech"?
Keep in mind that PGA has a better simulation of Oscar process (ten-picture slate, preferential ballot system) but still, taking the last ten years into account, PGA has matched only six out of the ten Best Picture Oscars.
In 2000, "Gladiator" won both Oscars and PGA, but 2001, PGA picked "Moulin Rouge!" but the Oscar went to "A Beautiful Mind."

For those keenly interested in the award season race, here's the first big upset of the year: the winner of the Producer's Guild of America (PGA) Producer of the Year award for films released in 2010 -- aka the organization's Best Picture award -- is The King's Speech. That represents a big upset over The Social Network, and seems to dramatically alter predictions for the Oscar race. The full list of winners is after the break. This is the place that most had predicted The Social Network to be a winner once again. David Fincher's film has scored loads of other awards over the past two months, and a PGA win would have made it look like a real lock for a Best Picture win come Oscar time. Now it looks like The King's Speech could more of a contender for the Best Picture Oscar than some had thought. Remember...

The Producers Guild Awards created and even closer Oscar race. In an upset The King's Speech beat out The Social Network for Best Picture.
There has been a lot of speculation from different people about which film is poised to take home Oscar gold. Some say The Social Network s a lock, while others feel that The King's Speech is a strong contender to win because it fits nicely with past Oscar favorites because it is an uplifting period film. The two films are completely different so it will be a very close race.
As was expected, Toy Story 3 took home Best Animated Feature. I would have loved to see How To Train Your Dragon win, but that race is not as close. Waiting for Superman took home the Best Documentary last night.

The Producers Guild of America has announced their nominations for the ten best motion pictures of 2010, which expanded to match the Academy Award’s “Best Picture” category last year. There aren’t many surprises in the list though, and it’s a safe bet to expect the Oscar nominations to shake out with the same films on top at the end of January.
The top PGA prize, the Darryl F. Zanuck award, has successfully predicted the “Best Picture” winner 14 out of the 21 years, including the last four in a row.
The PGA also revealed their picks for the best animated and documentary features, granting some much needed recognition to the delightful Despicable Me and the under-appreciated doc Smash His Camera, as well as the usual suspects of frontrunners and favorites.

The Producers Guild of America and Writers Guild of America have announced the nominees for their own 2011 awards. It comes out as no surprise anymore that such movies as "Inception" and "Black Swan", which have received a lot of praises during 2010, land nods at both prize-giving events.
The two films along with "The Fighter" and "The Kids Are All Right" are mentioned at The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures category. All of them will also compete for Best Original Screenplay at Writers Guild Awards.

The snubbee here in terms of Oscar buzz is Winter's Bone. But it's a tiny indie and maybe that's not what the PGA wanted to value? Still it's absence reminds us that the Best Picture race, is really down to those 11 films. Last year, there were only about 12 films standing before Oscar nominations were announced.

Here are the nominees for the Producers Guild Awards. The PGA nominations are almost like a prediction of the movies that will end up being nominated for and Oscar at the Academy Awards. Last year 9 out of 10 films nominated for the PGA ended up being nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
I agree with most of the nominees of the nominees on the list. I'm surprised to see The Town on there. I know a lot of people liked it, but I honestly don't know why. And as much as I loved Toy Story 3 I don't think it's a best picture film. I would have loved to see Winters Bone on the list as well, it was a much better film than The Town. Thats just my opinion.

Two big guild award nomination sets are being announced today, the first being those from the Producers Guild of America, with the Writers Guild nods to come not long from now. The PGA nominations are widely seen as an indicator of what we can expect in the Best Picture Oscar race -- ten films get the Producer's Guild nod, and if they don't exactly mirror the ten pictures nominated for Oscar, the Oscar list isn't likely to deviate much. Almost all the pictures you'd expect to be on this list are on it -- hit the jump for the full details.

The Producers Guild of America announced their nominees for the 22nd annual PGA Awards today and to nobody’s surprise all the usual suspects were nominated, including “The Social Network,” “The King’s Speech,” “The Town” and “Black Swan.”
In addition, the PGA revelaed their nominees in the unusually competitive animation category, with “Despicable Me,” “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Toy Story 3″ earning the nods.
Like the Oscars, the Producers Guild has recently expanded the number of nominees for their top category, Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, naming 10 contenders instead of the traditional five.
Despite the enlarged field, however, there were few surprises. Nine of the 10 nominees were previously nominated for Best Picture by the Critics’ Choice Awards, with the only difference being the nomination of “The Kids Are All Right” by the PGA in place of “Winter’s Bone.”

On Tuesday, the PGA announced the television and motion picture nominations for the 2011 Producers Guild Awards. In what hints to be a preview of the 10 Best Picture Oscar nominations coming up at the end of this month, Warner Bros. Pictures big-budget The Town being included as one of the PGA’s ten over the indie Winter”S Bone was not a total surprise. We’ll see if the same can be said of the 3 films nominated in the animated category on January 25th. The PGA went with Despicable Me over Disney’s Tangled and Sony Pictures Classics The Illusionist.
Here are the nominees:
The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures:
127 Hours, Producers: Danny Boyle, Christian Colson Black Swan, Producers: Scott Franklin, Mike Medavoy, Brian Oliver Inception, Producers: Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas The Fighter, Producers: David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman, Mark Wahlberg The Kids Are All Right,...

Hollywoodnews.com: Nominees for the 22nd annual Producers Guild Awards were announced this morning, and if you have been paying even the slightest bit of attention during the awards race, you could guess the 10 titles picked for Best Picture, otherwise known as the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award.
Regular nominees like “The Social Network” and “The King’s Speech” led the list, paired alongside the likes of “127 Hours,” “Black Swan,” “Inception,” “The Fighter,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “The Town,” “Toy Story 3” and “True Grit.”
If there’s a big winner, it’s Ben Affleck’s “The Town,” which also found its way into the Top 10 nominated by the Broadcast Film Critics Association for their Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, which air Friday, Jan. 14. Does this mean it will make the cut when the Academy picks 10 later this year?

This morning the first of the major guild awards were announced, the 2011 nominations for 22nd annual Producers Guild Awards. Last year the 10 nominations matched up almost perfectly with the 10 Best Picture nominations with Avatar, District 9, Inglorious Basterds, Up In The Air, An Education, The Hurt Locker, Up, and Precious all making it. The only two differences were Star Trek and Invictus getting PGA nods while A Serious Man and The Blind Side grabbed Bp noms.
This year the major snub was Winter’s Bone, but other than that you can bet at least 8 of the below will nab Best Picture noms. Check out the list via Deadline.
