PGA 2023 Nominees Announced: Massive Snubs, Four Sequels Nominated

PGA 2023 Nominees Announced: Massive Snubs, Four Sequels Nominated

Now that the PGA has released their nominations, six films have received nods from the CCA, Golden Globes, and the PGA: Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, Tar, Top Gun: Maverick, and Elvis. These films can be confidently said to be locked for a Best Picture nomination. Top Gun: Maverick wasn’t the only blockbuster sequel among the PGA’s picks, “Avatar: The Way of the Water”, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story” were also nominated.

Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale” was also a surprise nominee in this category, giving me more confidence that the industry is a fan of the film and that Brendan Fraser is the frontrunner to win Best Actor.

In the last six years, an average of eight films nominated at PGA ended up getting nominated for Best Picture as well. With this year’s expansion to 10 slots for BP nominees, I think anywhere from 7-9 of the PGA 10 will make Picture at the Oscars. I am leaning towards 7 or 8 at this stage but we shall see.
