LIVE POLL: PGA Awards 2023 — Outstanding Movie Producer?

The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures is one of the premiere honors bestowed annually by the Producers Guild of America. It is unique among other major award season ceremonies in its intent to honor producers first and films second. Another distinctive aspect is the award is determined exclusively by P.G.A. producers. In contrast, the Oscars allows members of all seventeen branches that comprise the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to submit nominations for and vote on the final Best Film ballot, rather than just the producers branch. Some find the producer guild award to be more meaningful than other 'so-called' producer awards; since it is a peer award from individuals who can fully comprehend the challenges of the position. Which of the 2023 Producers Guild of America nominees for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for 'Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures' do you think should win the PGA award? Get comprehensive coverage of the 2023 Producers Guild Awards hosted by the Producers Guild of America being held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on February 25, 2023 @ IMDb Award Central's PGA Awards Guide.

I don't know well enough the role of producers. If I had to thank producers it would most likely be the ones of of a film that would not have been made without them (Phil Falcone for Terrifier 2)

@cinephile​ I don't think you have to know, just be able to appreciate the accomplishments behind them and what the each award reflects. One celebrates the final end results (best movie) and the other, a greater effort or obstacles that had to be overcome to make a similarly elite film. A good baseball example that illustrates my point between the differences between the AMPAS and PGA producer awards is the 2008 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays. The Philadelphia team won the WS that year and did it spending half of what the New York Yankees did to fielding a competitive team that year. A pretty impressive accomplishment, but most baseball general managers were even more impressed with team that lost the 2008 WS. They came within a couple games of winning it all, on a fifth of the NYY's payroll budget and the second lowest among all teams in the MLB.  In the film world, making a great film or the best in itself is impressive. But, making one that is elite, while overcomes hard technical limitations and extreme budgetary restrictions, while breaking new ground to be nearly the same in quality is a far more impressive accomplishment in my eyes.
