Oscar 2007: Nominated Producers
Toni Collette, Abigail Breslin, Alan Arkin, Paul Dano, Steve Carell, Greg Kinnear in Little Miss Sunshine
Not everyone will fit into the 2007 Academy Award’s van.
The Academy’s Producers Branch Executive Committee has announced the final roster of producers nominated in this year’s Best Picture category. They are:
- Alejandro González Iñárritu, Jon Kilik and Steve Golin for Babel
- Graham King for The Departed
- Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, and Robert Lorenz for Letters from Iwo Jima
- David T. Friendly, Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub for Little Miss Sunshine
- Andy Harries, Christine Langan and Tracey Seaward for The Queen
The nominees for The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine were determined by the executive committee at a meeting held yesterday evening.
Even though up to three producers can be nominated for an Academy Award, only Graham King made the cut for The Departed. Paramount chief Brad Grey (Nikki Finke’s scathing article on Grey), Brad Pitt, and Martin Scorsese were left out.
All five Little Miss Sunshine producers were allowed in by the Producers Guild of America, which considered all five equally responsible for the final product. The Academy, however, has opted to leave out Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa.
