Vying in the marquee category — the Darryl F.

On the toon side, the five pics up for the Animated Theatrical Motion Picture prize are Encanto, Luca, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Raya and the Last Dragon and Sing 2.

The awards honoring excellence in film and TV productions will be handed out during the in-person 2022 Producers Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, March 19, at the Fairmont Century Plaza. The event was rescheduled from February 26 amid the Omicron surge. As part of the time shift, the guild said today that the deadline for final ballots in  TV and film categories has been extended to March 8.
