NEW YORK (AP) — The science-fiction sequel “Dune: Part Two,” the doomed fairy tale “Anora” and the Munich Olympics drama “September 5” are among the 10 films nominated by the Producers Guild for its top award, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award.

The Producers Guild announced its nominees Thursday after delaying due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The group also extended its voting period to allow members affected by the fires more time to vote.

The 10 films nominated are: “Anora,” “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown,” “Conclave,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Pérez,” “A Real Pain,” “September 5,” “The Substance” and “Wicked.”

The guild’s award is closely watched as an Oscar prognosticator. Like the film academy, the Producers Guild selects 10 movies for the equivalent of its best picture prize, and it likewise uses a preferential ballot to pick a winner. In the last five years, all PGA winners have corresponded with best picture winners at the Academy Awards, including “Oppenheimer” in 2024.

Now that the top guilds have announced their nominees, four films have managed to be nominated for the top award from the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild and Screen Actors Guild: “Anora,” “Conclave,” “Emilia Pérez” and “A Complete Unknown.”

The PGA also nominated five films for the best animated feature of 2024. They are: “Flow,” “Inside Out 2,” “Moan 2,” “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” and “The Wild Robot.”

Winners will be announced at an untelevised ceremony in Los Angeles on Feb. 8. The guild will contribute a portion of the proceeds from the awards to a fund created to support producers affected by the wildfires.

Policy change gives Manitoba renters a break from proposed hikes

Aidan Wilson said he was reduced to tears after getting a call from Premier Wab Kinew’s office.

He’d just learned tenants of a West Broadway apartment, including himself, would no longer pay a hundreds-of-dollars monthly rent increase as of Nov. 1.

“It’s been a lot to deal with, it’s a lot to push for, and it’s a lot to speak up. All of these emotions just kind of came flooding out,” Wilson said Tuesday at a news conference alongside Kinew.

The premier announced that renters will not have to pay the increases until the provincial Residential Tenancies Branch hears landlords’ arguments and issues its decisions.

ST. LOUIS — The thing about being in uncharted waters is that the answer to the next question isn’t always readily apparent either above or below the surface.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Scott Arniel has been doing his best to ensure the upcoming two-game road trip against Central Division opponents doesn’t include a three-ring circus. But with news coming over the weekend that the suspension for goalie Connor Hellebuyck is set to expire on Friday, the club has to prepare for the next step in that process.

The problem, as Arniel conceded during his session on Monday afternoon before the team departed for Missouri, is that some of the hypotheticals need to be eliminated from the equation before the proper response can be determined.

“When it comes to Helly’s scenario, honestly I don’t really have a lot of information,” said Arniel. “I know everybody knows (about) Friday. That’s all we know.”
