PGA Nominations - YAWN!!!

So begins the onslaught of the guilds handing out their nominations, with the Producers Guild starting us off today. Their nominees are, well, lacking any sort of excitement. I mean really! It's the same five films being recognized everytime. I thought their might have been some excitement added to the race, with WALL-E getting a nod from the guild, or maybe a bigger surprise with Revolutionary Road, The Wrestler, or Happy-Go-Lucky getting mentioned. Nope. None of that. No excitement here. Expect the same five films to be nominated for the Directors Guild Award, at which point we can be almost certain of the Oscar Best Picture line up.

Nominees:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Cean Chaffin, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall
The Dark Knight - Christopher Nolan, Charles Roven, Emma Thomas
Frost/Nixon - Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard
Milk - Bruce Cohen, Dan Jinks, Michael London
Slumdog Millionaire - Christian Colson, Paul Ritchie
