The Dark Knight’s run for an Oscar nomination has improved with a nomination for best picture by the Producers Guild of America. In contention with the biggest film of the year and second highest-grossing film of all time is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk and Slumdog Millionaire.
Nominations for best animated feature include Bolt, Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E. Documentary nods went to Man on Wire, Trouble the Water and Standard Operating Procedure.
In the television categories, nominations went to Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, Lost and Mad Men for drama and 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, The Office and Weeds for comedy.
Though the Producers Guild Awards are not a prediciton of the Oscars, voters are often members of both guilds and inclusion in their list of nominees often bodes well for possible Academy Award consideration. The Producers Guild Awards will be announced on January 24th.
