Producers Guild's selection of "Little Miss Sunshine" was even more of a shock
after "Babel" won the award for best drama at last week's Golden Globe
ceremony and "Dreamgirls" won the Golden Globe for best comedy/musical.
Marc Turtletaub, David T. Friendly, Peter Saraf,
Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa, the producers of "Little Miss Sunshine," were given
the Darryl F. Zanuck producer of the year award. The film was released by Fox
Searchlight Pictures, a division of News Corp.
The road trip movie "Cars" from Disney-Pixar was
chosen by the guild as best animated film.
The award for episodic TV comedy went to "The
Office," while "Grey's Anatomy" won in the drama category.
The Producers Guild honored the HBO special
"Elizabeth I" with its award for long-form television, while the HBO series
"Real Time with Bill Maher" won for best variety television program.
The long-running news magazine "60 Minutes" won a
guild award for nonfiction television program.
