Today marked a sunny day for The Dark Knight when the Producers Guild of America nominated producers
Christopher Nolan,
Charles Roven and Emma Thomas for the prestigious Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award. Nods in this category often foreshadow what’s to come by way of Oscar later on.
Other nominees in the Zanuck category include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Kathleen Kennedy,
Frank Marshall and Ceán Chaffin), Milk (Dan Jinks and
Bruce Cohen), Frost/Nixon (
Brian Grazer,
