Analysis: The Producers Guild dropped its list of 10 best picture nominees on Monday. The Oscars is in its final year of its fluctuating slate that has always numbered either eight or nine movies. So that’s bad news for at least one PGA nominee, probably “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” as the academy owns a dispiriting history of ignoring comedies. The academy also hasn’t nominated an animated movie since abandoning its fixed list of 10 nominees (which, thankfully, returns next year), likely consigning “Soul,” one of the year’s most ambitious and imaginative films, to the ghetto known as “best animated feature.” It’s possible that the entertaining Tom Hanks western “News of the World” could find its way in, though it was ignored by the PGA, a group more inclined than the academy toward rewarding big

Two of the night s major nominees are set in Chicago: Aaron Sorkin s tightly-written and timely The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Ma Rainey s Black Bottom, the final performance of venerated actor Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer last summer at age 43.
Both films are Netflix offerings; the streaming service s 42 nominations are the most of any competitor being recognized by the HFPA in a year when closed cinemas meant Internet premieres for most major movies.
There are few living talents who could be viewed as much of a New York theater institution as George C. Wolfe, the two-time Tony-winning director whose overall grasp of the arts is such that he speaks in cascades of enthusiasm and insight that he can barely contain. But if you want to get his goat, just ask him about opening up a celebrated play for the big screen, such as he did with August Wilson’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” in which Viola Davis plays the title role.
