PGA Awards Winners: ‘Simone Biles Rising’, ‘Sesame Street’ Take First Trophies​on February 4, 2025 at 1:56 am

The Producers Guild of America kicked off its 2025 PGA Awards winners announcements Monday, with the producing team behind Netflix’s docuseries Simone Biles Rising winning for Outstanding Sports Program and the producers of Max’s Sesame Street winning for Outstanding Children’s Program for a third consecutive year.

The news came tonight during the PGA’s annual East Coast celebration of nominated producers and producing teams, held at Lincoln Ristorante in New York City. Winners of the Outstanding Short Form Program, PGA Innovation Award and the Vance Van Petten Entrepreneurial Spirit Producing Award will be announced Thursday during the West Coast celebration at Neuehouse Venice Beach in Los Angeles.

The week’s events lead up the the 36th annual PGA Awards on Saturday, February 8 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, where the guild will reveal the winner of its marquee Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, its Oscar bellwether category that has aligned with the Academy Award winner for Best Picture 16 of the past 21 years. Last year, it aligned with Oscar by giving the award to Oppenheimer.

This year’s Zanuck nominees are the producers behind Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, A Real Pain, September 5, The Substance and Wicked.

Also during Saturday’s ceremony, the PGA will present honors to Chris Meledandri (David O. Selznick Achievement Award), Dana Walden (Milestone Award), Taika Waititi (Norman Lear Achievement Award), and Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein (Trailblazer Award).
