Last year, eight of the 10 PGA nominees were also honored with Best Picture nominations, with only "Amour" scoring a Best Picture nod without citation from the Producers Guild.
The Producers Guild will reveal its winner on Jan. 19. Last year, "Argo" took home the Daryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award. The last six PGA winners were also crowned with Best Picture at the Oscars.
