CODA is still riding high on that SAG wave but will cresting during Oscar voting give it the win? If it does a LOT of records will be broken. No film since the current slate of categories was in place (many decades now) has managed a Best Picture win with only 3 Oscar nominations. Most film with 12+ Oscar nominations (like The Power of the Dog has) have won more than three Oscars though sometimes they've lost Best Picture (examples include Mary Poppins, The Song of Bernadette, and La La Land) . No films without either a Directing or an Editing nomination (since all the current categories were in place), and CODA has neither has won Best Picture. Finally no film by a streaming company has won Best Picture though this last stat was bound to fall sooner or later and will next Sunday whether CODA or Power of the Dog wins. Unless of course something else entirely surprises. Winners are after the jump...
OUTSTANDING PRODUCER OF A THEATRICAL MOTION PICTURE
- BEING THE RICARDOS - Todd Black
- BELFAST - Laura Berwick, Kenneth Branagh, Becca Kovacik, Tamar Thomas
- ★ CODA - Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi, Patrick Wachsberger
- DON'T LOOK UP - Adam McKay, Kevin Messick
- DUNE - Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Denis Villeneuve

- TICK TICK BOOM! - Julie Oh, Lin-Manuel Miranda
- WEST SIDE STORY - Steven Spielberg, Kristie Mackosko Krieger
This is obviously great news for CODA but it doesn't mean it's locked to win Best Picture. In the 32 previous years of PGA the following 11 winners did not repeat at the Oscars:
- 1917 (2019)
- La La Land (2016)
- The Big Short (2015)
- Gravity (2013... though it won in a tie with 12 Years a Slave so the PGA choice did win)
- Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
- Brokeback Mountain (2005)
- The Aviator (2004)
- Moulin Rouge! (2001)
- Saving Private Ryan (1998)
- Apollo 13 (1995)
- The Crying Game (1992)
In other words we still have a race but it's much tighter than we expected it to be at this late juncture.

- Luca, Andrea Warren

It's coming down to the wire with Mitchells vs the Machines winning CCA, Annies, and most critics awards while Encanto has taken BAFTA, Globe, and PGA. Since the industy awards are more telling we're predicting Encanto but Mitchells is a strong spoiler possibiity.
