Paired with its documentary feature nominations, the PGA announced this Monday morning which television shows, specials, and digital series that will compete in the 26th Annual Producers Guild Awards. The PGA Awards nominations honor a little bit of everything, including “Breaking Bad,” “Cosmos,” “Last Week with John Oliver,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and the third season of YouTube”s “Video Game High School.” Can”t blame the guild for shallow picks.
The PGA Awards major TV category, Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, went to the award-devouring programs we know and love. “Game of Thrones,” “Breaking Bad,” “House of Cards,” “True Detective,” and “Downton Abbey,” will all compete for top honors.
On the comedy side, the PGA honored the entire spectrum of laughs: The genre-bending “Louie” and “Orange Is the New Black” facing off against sitcom staples “Modern Family” and “The Big Bang Theory,” with “Veep” making fun of them all in the back of the room.
The 2015 Producers Guild Award winners will be presented on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015. See the full list of nominations below.
