FX’s final season of “The Americans” won the Producers Guild’s Norman Felton Award for episodic television drama. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” repeated in winning the Danny Thomas award for comedy series. The Fred Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” won the documentary award and Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” won the animated movie award.
The fifth season of “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” repeated as the winner of the Live Entertainment and Talk category. The second season of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” took the David L. Wolper Award for limited series television.
“Each year, the PGA has the privilege to honor outstanding achievements in motion pictures, television and new media productions at the Producers Guild Awards,” said Gail Berman and Lucy Fisher, Presidents of the . “We look forward to celebrating excellence in our field alongside giants of our industry who’ve defined the art and craft of producing.”
