Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) won the Producer's Guild of America (PGA) Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Best Movie— elevating its status as an awards-season front runner since the last seven PGA winners have gone on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. The award went to the film's producers— director/co-screenwriter Alejandro González Iñárritu, John Lesher and James W. Skotchdopole.

The Producers Guild of America Award was originally established in 1990 by the PGA in order to honor the visionaries who produce and execute motion picture and television product. For more information (and to find out the 2015 winners and nominees), click here or here.
