10 Things You Didn?t Know About the PGA Awards

 

The Producers Guild of America began issuing awards to producers of extraordinary motion pictures and television shows over 20 years ago. The PGA Awards, which will be presented on Saturday night, are considered one of the events that predict who will walk home a winner at the Academy Awards. A few facts you might not have known about this award:

 

  1. The Producers Guild of America is the merging of two professional guilds: the Screen Producers Guild, formed in 1950, and the Television Producers Guild, formed in 1957. In 1962, the two organizations joined.
  2. The first awards were given by the PGA in 1990 and called the Golden Laurel Awards.
  3. The first recipients were Lili Fini and Richard D. Zanuck for their work on Driving Miss Daisy
  4. Fourteen of the 22 PGA winning films have gone on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
  5. In fact, the PGA has predicted the Best Picture award at the Oscars for the past 5 years running.
  6. However, this year, if either Skyfall or Moonrise Kingdom wins a PGA, they are guaranteed not to predict the Oscar winner. Neither film was nominated for an Academy Award.
  7. The PGAs’ outstanding picture award is formally known as The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. Zanuck was a Hollywood producer whose career was among the longest in the motion picture industry.
  8. Have you noticed a lowercase “p.g.a.” after the names of producers in the credits of films you’ve recently seen? That’s the PGA’s new Producer’s Mark, which signifies that the person in question did the work required to legitimately be considered a producer of a film.
  9. The Producers Guild has over 4700 members. Membership perks include tickets to Oscar-nominated films, health insurance and pension plans.
  10. Lifetime Achievement Awards will be presented to JJ Abrams, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.

Cissy Houston Doesn't Like Bobby Brown And Doesn't Like The Thought Of Whitney Lezzing Out With Her Best Friend

On Oprah's Next Chapter last night, the Houston family matriarch pimped out her book on all things Whitney Houston and Oprah asked for her thoughts on a few rumors about her late daughter. Oprah brought up a part in Cissy's book where she talks about Whitney's relationship with best friend Robyn Crawford. Whitney was the Oprah to Robyn's Gayle King and there were rumors that the two bumped 'ginas under the moonlight and were in love for many years. Cissy writes that she knew about the speculation that Whitney and Robyn were gayelle lovers and when The Mighty O asked her if she believed the rumors, she said this:

"I don't really know. I thought, I didn't particularly like her. She just spoke too disrespectful sometimes, like she had something over Nippy. I didn't like that at all. She was alright. She turned out to be alright, I guess. That was her friend."

Cissy told Nippy that she didn't like Robyn and didn't want her hanging around Robyn, but Nippy did anyway. Cissy knew that Nippy's heart wrapped around Robyn's heart, but she didn't know for sure if her mouth ever wrapped around Robyn's love box. Oprah asked Cissy if it would've bothered her if Nippy was a lesbian and she didn't flinch when she said, "Absolutely." Oprah seemed surprised and asked the question again using different words. Cissy once again said that she wouldn't have liked it and wouldn't have condoned it.

Cissy's eyes when she said that! She didn't even flinch. It's like her eyes said "No, I wouldn't have liked it if they were straight dykin" and "Yes, I can smell Gayle's poon on your breath, Oprah, and I don't like that either!" Cissy is super into all things Jesus and is older than Methuselah, so it's not surprising that she wouldn't have embraced Whitney's gayelleness. But then when Oprah asked Cissy if she was happy when Bobby Brown came along, she said, "No." Cissy Houston hates Bobby Brown too.

Then when Oprah brought out a giant cupcake with sprinkles on it and asked Cissy if she liked that, Cissy said, "No." Oprah tried something different and brought out a pink basket full of fluffy kittens wearing tiny hats and asked Cissy if she liked that, Cissy said, "No."

CISSY HOUSTON HATES EVERYTHING!

And during the interview, Whitney's brother Michael confessed that he's the one who introduced her to crack, not Bobby Brown. When Oprah asked Cissy if she likes crack, Cissy said....you know the rest.
