nominees

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) and IMDbPro
(www.imdbpro.com), the essential resource for entertainment
industry professionals, today announced a new collaboration that,
among other elements, will feature the Producers Mark (p.g.a.)
certification alongside the names of credited producers on Name and
Title Pages on IMDb and IMDbPro. PGA members and other
entertainment industry decision-makers use IMDb and IMDbPro to
discover new talent and projects and stay informed of industry news
and trends. The Producers Mark is now live on IMDb and IMDbPro Name
and Title Pages for qualifying Producers Guild Award nominees in
the motion picture categories, ahead of the awards show on
Saturday, January 18.
This new agreement gives greater recognition to producers who
have met the PGA’s stringent standards of performing a major
portion of the producing functions on a film while serving in a
decision-making capacity. The Producers Mark, which was introduced
in 2012 with the support of the six major studios, provides an
authentic seal of approval from the PGA and has become the gold
standard for working producers. Beyond the PGA, the industry’s
major awards organizations AMPAS, HFPA and BAFTA all rely on the
Producers Mark process to help guide their eligibility decisions
for producers. The Producers Mark is based on merit, and recipients
do not need to be PGA members to be eligible. For those visiting
IMDb and IMDbPro for hiring purposes, the Producers Mark gives them
the assurance that the producers who were credited on a film
performed the core producing functions on that project.
“We are thrilled the Guild now has yet another means of honoring
the accomplishments of the hardworking producers in our industry,”
said Producers Guild of America Presidents Gail Berman and Lucy
Fisher. “The PGA is always looking for new ways to add value for
our members, and this new collaboration with IMDb and IMDbPro
reflects our commitment to uplifting and distinguishing the
producing profession. Lastly, we share our thanks to Chris Thomes,
PGA New Media Council Delegate, for his leadership on this
important initiative."
Additionally, as part of the collaboration, PGA members will
receive a special rate on their annual membership to IMDbPro.
IMDbPro member-only benefits include the following: detailed
contact and representation information; more than 25,000
in-development film and TV titles not available on IMDb; tools to
manage and showcase their IMDb profile, including the ability to
select their primary images and the credits they are best “known
for”; the IMDbPro app for iPhone and Android; IMDbPro Track, which
empowers members using the app to receive personalized
entertainment industry news and notifications on the people and
film and TV projects they want to follow; exclusive STARmeter
rankings that are determined by page views on IMDb; and a
convenient tool that generates custom digital assets to promote
their work on social media and other platforms.
“The Producers Mark is a recognized achievement in the
entertainment industry and we are thrilled to collaborate with the
PGA to offer producers additional visibility for the essential role
they play,” said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro. “Additionally, by
helping our users further understand the contributions and key
creators involved in bringing stories to audiences, the Producers
Mark supports IMDb and IMDbPro’s commitment to offering
authoritative and complete entertainment industry information.”
To ensure utmost accuracy, the PGA staff will manage all
Producers Mark designations on a film-by-film basis. To learn more
