The Producers Guild of America announced their annual nominations this morning and though favorites like Regina King’s One Night in Miami and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom were among the nominees, they were joined by slightly surprising nods for Sound of Metal and Borat: Subesequent Moviefilm. On the TV side, familiar titles like Ted Lasso, The Crown, and The Queen’s Gambit were also selected.

As we inch closer to the conclusion of what will likely go down as the strangest awards season in history, we have had some clear indications of how things will land when the Academy announces its nominations on March 15th. Read on for the full list of PGA Awards nominees below!
