Success at PGA awards puts film back in competition for Oscars
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — After being shut out at the Golden Globes last week and the Screen Actors Guild awards on Saturday night, "The Hurt Locker" won the Producers Guild of America's Darryl F. Zanuck producer of the year award on Sunday.
The award went to producers Kathryn Bigelow (who also directed), Mark Boal (who wrote the

screenplay), Nicolas Chartier and Greg Shapiro.
The PGA award has become a strong bellwether for the Academy Award for best film. During the last 20 years, 13 previous PGA winners have gone on to win the best film Oscar.
Taking home the top PGA prize has put the low-budget indie back on the fast track for Oscar gold.
The last time the PGA and the academy disagreed was four years ago, when the producers gave their top honor to "Little Miss Sunshine" and the Oscar went to "The Departed."
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
