by Tape “Everything Everywhere All at Once”of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinertreceived this Saturday the award for best film in the 34th edition of the Producers Guild Awards (PGA).
The film by the directors known colloquially as “Los Daniels” defeated strong opponents such as “The Fabelmans” by Steven Spielberg, “Tár” by Todd Field, and “The Banshees of Inisherin” by Martin McDonagh, in these awards that usually work as a thermometer for the Oscars.
A year ago the film “CODA” once again demonstrated the power of the PGA as indicators of the productions that can win the golden statuette for best film.
And in the last 14 years only three films (“The Big Short,” “La La Land” and “1917”) have altered the correlation between PGA winners and Hollywood Academy Award winners.

The story follows the challenge faced by a middle-aged woman who is forced to fight across confusing multiverses to save her world, while chaotically experiencing all the directions her life could have taken.
