Like the Oscars, this award has used a preferential voting system since 2009.
Last year, Apple’s CODA not only won this award but also went on to win the Oscar. This was the fourth time in five years that the PGA winner went on to take the Oscar's top prize. The Oscar and PGA award for best motion picture has synced 22 times in the last 33 years. It has even accurately predicted the best picture Oscar nominees 88% of the time over the past 13 years.
These awards are presented by the Producers Guild of America, a non-profit trade association representing television producers, film producers, and new media producers in the United States.
