Gravity, 12 Years a Slave share Hollywood producers’ top prize

Gravity, 12 Years a Slave share Hollywood producers’ top prize


 


By Mary Milliken - BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) Hollywood producers injected drama into the race for Oscars on Sunday by choosing not one but two movies as their best films of the year, the space thriller “Gravity” and the slavery drama “12 Years a Slave“.


It is the first time the Producers Guild of America has declared a tie in the 25-year history of its awards. The PGA has correctly chosen the eventual Academy Award winner for best picture for the last six years, including Iranian hostage drama “Argo” a year ago.


The PGA decision clashes with that of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), which on Saturday chose the 1970s-set corruption caper “American Hustle” from director David O. Russell for its top prize, best film ensemble cast.
