It’s starting to look even better for Everything Everywhere All At Once at the Academy Awards in March, because the Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert-directed film just won the top prize at the Producers Guild Of America Awards. While not a perfect predictor of the Best Picture winner at the Oscars, the PGAs are at least a very good predictor—having picked the eventual Best Picture winner 11 out of the last 14 times—thanks to the fact that both use the same number of nominees and both have ranked-choice voting. Also, “producing” is a more nebulous thing than directing or writing, so if the producers think a movie was produced the best, it stands to reason that it is also, simply, the best.
