The ceremony also recognised standout television series and documentaries in a night attended by industry figures.
More than 8,400 film producers voted in the 37th annual awards, which often signal likely winners at the Academy Awards. The U.S. producers' guild prize has long been viewed as a key indicator for Oscar success.

The Pitt was named best drama series, while The Studio won best comedy series. In the documentary category, My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay took the top prize. Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters also received an award, adding to the streaming platform's growing list of accolades.
PGA President Susan Sprung addressed the audience, acknowledging the current global climate during her remarks. Meanwhile, the Southern Gothic vampire drama Blood & Sinners remains in the Oscar conversation, though it did not win a producers' guild award.
The Producers Guild Awards highlighted key titles ahead of the Oscars. One Battle After Another now stands as the film to beat, while television winners like The Pitt and The Studio gained further recognition. The results reflect the choices of thousands of producers, shaping expectations for the awards season ahead.
