Maybe somewhat surprisingly, or perhaps not so, Little Miss Sunshine took the “Best Film” award at the Producers Guild of America awards this weekend. Considering that in the past 17 years 11 out of 17 PGA winners have also gone on to win the Academy Award, it now seems that Little Miss Sunshine may well get that as well, despite of everyone rooting for The Departed.
This is actually perhaps only fair considering that, according to my MovieSay buzz ranking service, Little Miss Sunshine is by far the most constantly talked about movie of 2006. While it reached the number one spot only very briefly, it has continually remained in the top ten most discussed films. This cannot be said of for example The Departed, which faded away fairly soon after its release.
