CODA takes Oscars lead, Drag Race, Succession win big at 2022 PGA Awards: See full list of winners

Hollywood's top producers have named the best films and TV shows of the year, boosting the Apple TV+ drama CODA over presumed Oscars Best Picture frontrunner The Power of the Dog at a key point in this year's contentious awards race.

With just over a week to go before the March 27 Oscars ceremony, the 2022 Producers Guild of America Awards gave Sian Heder's crowd-pleasing hit a vital boost in the hunt for Best Picture in the middle of the Academy's voting window, which closes on March 22.

Though The Power of the Dog picked up steam in recent weeks with big wins at the DGA Awards, the BAFTA Awards, and the Critics Choice Awards, CODA's win with PGA is significant because it triumphed over a slate of 10 nominees using the preferential ballot voting system, which has also been adopted by the Academy. This means that films with passionate support often edge out subtler titles that have won critical favor for their structure versus their emotional impact, like Dog has.

Other film winners at the PGA Awards included Disney's animated feature Encanto and Questlove's Summer of Soul documentary, both of which are expected to repeat in their respective categories at next weekend's Oscars.

On the TV side, HBO had a big night with Succession and Mare of Easttown taking individual wins for Drama Series and Limited Series, while VH1's queer competition RuPaul's Drag Race earned its third consecutive win in the Game and Competition Television category.

As previously announced, Insecure's Issa Rae, West Side Story actress Rita Moreno, filmmaker George Lucas, Greg Berlanti, prolific producer Kathleen Kennedy, and former Universal president Mary Parent also received individual prizes at the 33rd PGA Awards ceremony.

Comprised of approximately 7,000 producers of film, TV, and new media, the PGA is — next to the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild — considered as one of the most reliable predictors of Oscar's taste on the awards trail, with many of the PGA's members spilling over into the Academy's voting ranks.

Since the PGA's first ceremony recognizing films released in 1989, all of the group's Best Theatrical Motion Picture winners have gone on to either win (22 titles, including last year's Nomadland) or be nominated (the remaining 11) for the Academy Award for Best Picture — including the 2013 Sandra Bullock blockbuster Gravity, which tied with eventual Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave in 2014.
