Ever since the Oscars expanded their Best Picture category, the Producers Guild has synced up with the Academy more and more, with usually only one or two differences, if any. If you want to predict Oscar nominees, this is a good place to start.
The biggest surprises here are whats missing – namely Inside Llewyn Davis and The Butler. Nice to see Blue Jasmine in the mix though. I was starting to think most groups were forgetting that there’s more to that movie than Cate Blanchett.
