The Producers Guild of America have announced their nominees for the 2011 Producers Guild Awards. The nominees for Best Motion Picture are 127 Hours, Black Swan, Inception, The Fighter, The Kids Are All Right, The King's Speech, The Social Network, Toy Story 3, The Town, and True Grit. Notably absent from their selections is Winter's Bone. With the exception of The Town, I think you're looking at the ten Oscar nominees for Best Picture (I think Winter's Bone will ultimately nab the 10th slot).
Hit the jump for the full press release, which also includes nominees for Best Animated Film, Best Documentary (no Exit Through the Gift Shop—boo), and various television categories. Winners will be announced January 22nd. Judd Apatow will host the awards ceremony.
Here's the press release and list of nominees:
