LOS ANGELES (AP) — “One Battle After Another,”“Sinners” and “Marty Supreme” scored another pivotal nomination from the Producers Guild.

The Producers Guild of America on Friday named 10 nominees for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award, their top prize and a reliable Oscar best picture bellwether, including awards season mainstays like “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet” and “Sentimental Value.”

“Bugonia” and “Train Dreams” were also among the nominees, as well as two more unexpected choices: The Formula One racing movie “F1” and the horror hit “Weapons.” Notably, four of the films on the list, “F1,” “Weapons,” “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners” were Warner Bros. theatrical releases.

Not included, however, were “Avatar: Fire and Ash” or “Wicked: For Good,” two big budget, studio spectacles that might have been considered shoo-ins for a producing honor.

The nominees aligned closely with the five films singled out by the actors guild and the directors guild earlier this week. The full list of 10 could also very well predict the best picture batch when Oscar nominations are announced on Jan. 22.

The winner of the Zanuck award has 17 times in the past 22 years gone on to win the best picture Oscar as well, including last year with “Anora.”

The guild also nominated five films for animated feature, including “KPop Demon Hunters,” “Zootopia 2,” “Elio,” “The Bad Guys 2” and “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle.”

They also recognize television shows and movies, where nominees in the various categories include “Andor,” “The Pitt,” “South Park,” “Adolescence,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “Mr. Scorsese.”

The 37th annual Producers Guild Awards will be held on Feb. 28 in Los Angeles.

Wooed by wood, Cedarella founder takes pride in handcrafted designs

David Sanderson 7 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

Marina Bulan is the founder of Cedarella, a two-year-old venture that turns out eye-catching wood products such as jewelry, kitchen decor, children’s toys and, most recently, metre-high outdoor planters that double as home street-number indicators.

Ahead of immigrating to Winnipeg a decade ago from their native Russia, Bulan and her partner thought it would be prudent to conduct some research on their soon-to-be new home, a city they knew next to nothing about.

Imagine their surprise as they were viewing the 2007 surrealist film My Winnipeg, which comically blends historical facts about our burg with what Winnipeg-born writer/director Guy Maddin has termed “mystical hypothesizing.”

(For instance, there is no proof that, as reported in the award-winning flick, Winnipeg is the sleepwalking capital of the world, and that residents keep keys to their former abodes on their person in the event they turn up there during a bout of somnambulism.)

Country-rap headliner BigXThaPlug, scheduled to appear at the third annual Country Rising festival at Blue Cross Park on Friday, missed performing at the festival after being arrested on drug charges in Texas earlier in the day.

According to Dallas’s KDFW, the performer, born Xavier Landum, was arrested by the Allen Police Department and booked into the Collin County Jail on Friday.

The jail’s website states Landum was charged with driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession of less than two ounces, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Plenty of alternatives to U.S. wines on the shelves

Ben Sigurdson 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

In February 2025, Manitoba (and most other provinces) pulled American liquor from store shelves as part of the ongoing trade dispute with the United States.

Then in December, the province followed a similar course to others and put American booze that was already on hand back on shelves, selling off inventory that had been wasting away in warehouses for months, and directing proceeds from those sales to charities.

Lineups sprung up at numerous stores as consumers snapped up bestselling American products — think Maker’s Mark, Jack Daniel’s, Apothic Red and the like. After that initial rush, what was left has been languishing on shelves ever since, with many products eventually being drastically discounted for a quick sale, lest they become too long in the tooth.

I decided early on not to write about/review U.S. products in this space until things were well and truly sorted. But a few months back, I found myself in the mood for a big, oaky red wine and — in a moment of weakness, or nostalgia, or maybe just curiosity — I picked up a $30-ish California Cabernet Sauvignon.

Swede leads Manitoba Open, Winnipegger sits 33rd

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read Yesterday at 6:53 PM CDT

From Lars-Erik Sjoberg to Thomas Steen to Viggo Bjorck, there’s no shortage of Swedish athletes who have quickly become fan favourites here in Winnipeg.

Daniel Svard is hoping to add his name to the growing list.

Although he wields a golf club and not a hockey stick, the 23-year-old from Stockholm is opening plenty of eyes this week at Elmhurst. He carries a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round of the Manitoba Open, looking to close out his first professional victory in his just his fourth career tournament.

Svard fired a six-under 66 on Saturday to move to 14-under through 54 holes of the PGA Tour Americas event.
