LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- The comedy drama "Green Book" won the Darryl F. Zanuck Award as the top feature film of 2018 at the 30th annual Producers Guild of America (PGA) Awards held at the Beverly Hilton hotel here on Saturday night.
"Green Book" beat out fierce rivals including "BlacKkKlansman," "Black Panther," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Crazy Rich Asians," "The Favourite," "A Quiet Place," "Roma," "A Star Is Born" and "Vice."
Considered as a strong prognosticator for the Oscar for Best Picture, the announcement of the PGA top film prize for motion picture is usually one of the most eagerly-anticipated of the Hollywood awards season.
"Green Book" won three awards, including Best Motion Picture in the Musical or Comedy category, earlier this month at the 76th Golden Globe Awards.
Directed by Peter Farrelly and set in the Deep South in the 1960s, the film follows African-American classical and jazz pianist Don Shirley and Tony Vallelonga, an Italian-American bouncer who served as Shirley's driver and bodyguard, on tour.
The PGA Awards were established in 1990 to honor the visionaries who produce and execute motion picture and television products. The PGA's membership includes over 7,000 members of the producing establishment worldwide. Enditem
