    “Birdman” Takes Top Film Honor At Producers Guild Awards

    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    "Birdman" received a welcome lift on its flight to the Oscars after winning the Producers Guild of America's highest film award Saturday night at a ceremony in Los Angeles.

    The win delivers needed momentum to Alejandro Inarritu's showbiz romp following its upset loss to "The Grand Budapest Hotel" in the Golden Globes' comedy category earlier this month. It's now neck and neck in the Oscar race with Richard Linklater's "Boyhood," which won in the Globes drama category.

    Many of the PGA's 6,700 members are also Oscar voters and for the past seven years, the guild's choices for its top trophy went on to win the best-picture prize at the Academy Awards.

    Other films that were up for the PGA's top honor this year included "American Sniper," ''Boyhood," ''Foxcatcher," ''Gone Girl," ''The Grand Budapest Hotel," ''The Imitation Game," ''Nightcrawler," ''The Theory of Everything" and "Whiplash."

    Notably absent from the nominees was "Selma," which had been named among the year's best films by various industry groups, including an Oscar nomination.

    Other trophies presented Saturday night included "The Lego Movie" for animated feature, "Life Itself" for documentary film, "Fargo" for television movie or miniseries, "Breaking Bad" for TV drama series, "Orange is the New Black" for TV comedy series and "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee for digital series.

    Next up on the pre-Oscar awards circuit are Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Feb. 7 Directors Guild honors and the Writer Guild ceremony on Feb.14. The 87th annual Academy Awards will be presented Feb. 22.

    Superprime Films Extends Its International Reach With Paris Launch

    Thursday, June 12, 2025

    Superprime Films has officially launched Superprime Paris. This marks a major step in the Los Angeles-headquartered company’s continued international expansion into a market that has long been creatively and strategically important to Superprime and its directors.

    Over the years, Superprime has created standout films across the region for brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Perrier, Cartier, Hennessy, Dior, and Lancôme. France has proven to be a place where bold, creative ideas thrive--and establishing a formal presence here is a natural evolution of Superprime’s desire to deepen longstanding relationships and continue to build new ones.

    Superprime Paris will be supported by La Pac managing director and executive producer Jérôme Denis. La Pac has been a longtime collaborator working closely with Superprime over the years on a number of projects. Denis’ deep ties to the region, shared creative values and strong relationship with Superprime’s directors make this a seamless collaboration.

    “We have always admired the French market for its creative excellence and dedication to the craft of filmmaking,” shared Superprime founders Michelle Ross and Rebecca Skinner in a joint statement.

    “Over many years, Superprime and La Pac have developed a rich partnership marked by iconic campaigns, especially for some of the most prestigious brands and luxury houses in France. As Rebecca and Michelle, along with their exclusive roster of talents, begin their own journey in France, La Pac and its teams will be tasked with supporting the growth of Superprime and strengthening the positions of its directors. Ici c’est Paris!” added Denis.

    The Paris office will represent renowned directors including Sean Baker, Damien Chazelle,... Read More
