DEADPOOL Has Received A PGA Nomination; Now Has A Shot At An Academy Award Nod For Best Picture
The Producers Guild of America have announced their nominations for the Best Picture of 2016, and Deadpool is rather surprisingly on the list. This actually puts it in with a chance of some Oscar love...
Could we really see Deadpool land a Best Picture nomination at this year's Academy Awards? Well, the PGA award contenders are usually a pretty good indication of the movies that go on to receive Oscar nods, so... yes! A slim chance, maybe, but a chance nonetheless.
Either way, the Merc With a Mouth's first solo big-screen outing is in great company. Here are the PGA nominees in full:
Arrival
Deadpool
Fences
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Hidden Figures
La La Land
Lion
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight
The movie's Writers Guild of America and Golden Globes nominations already ruffled a few feathers, so it'll be very intersting to see how this goes down. Do you guys think Deadpool has a shot at winning? What about that Academy Award nom? Drop us a comment below and let us know.
The PGA Award winners will be announced on Saturday, January 28, 2017.
