Muster your warriors. Man your defenses. Prepare your village. Clash of Clans is coming to Netflix as an animated series. Based on Supercell’s Clash of Clans, the upcoming series will be the streamer's latest attempt at video game adaptations after successful tries, which include Arcane, The Witcher and Devil May Cry. Titled Clash, the animated series will build on the world introduced in Supercell franchises Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, two of the biggest games of all time. Launching on Android and iOS in 2012, they have since totaled four billion downloads and 180 billion gameplay hours by mobile game fans across the world.

In the mobile game, each player spawns into territories where, using several in-game mechanics, including mining resources and war, each player can build up their settlements, join up with other players to form powerful clans and dominate the world around them. Netflix's adaptation of the mobile will follow a similar premise.

The cast includes Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and Taylour Paige, with Bill Skarsgård reprising his role as Pennywise. Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs developed the series for television, with Andy Muschietti directing multiple episodes and Fuchs serving as showrunner alongside Brad Caleb Kane.

Netflix is adding new IP to its library, with an animated series based on Clash of Clansin development. Clash of Clans and the associated Clash Royale are among the biggest titles in mobile gaming, and they've accumulated massive audience pools since the franchise began in 2012. The early 2020s saw announcements regarding future Clash of Clans spin-off games, though progress has since been halted, making Netflix's announcement the first significant addition in years.

Varietyreported the development of an animated show that's been greenlit in the universe of Supercell's Clash of Clans. The premise follows "a determined but in over his head, Barbarian who must rally a band of misfits to defend their village and navigate the comically absurd politics of war." Fletcher Moules, who has previously worked on directing Clash of Clans animated shorts on YouTube, and Ron Weiner are teaming as co-showrunners, with Icon Creative Studio (Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures), leading animation.

Currently in pre-production, the show will build on the beloved worlds of Supercell franchises Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, two of the biggest games of all time. Both launched on iOS and Android in 2012, and since then, have totaled four billion downloads and 180 billion gameplay hours by fans across the world.

Netflix is bringing one of the world’s biggest mobile games to the screen. The popular game Clash of Clans, along with its spinoff Clash Royale, is being turned into an animated series.

These strategy games, made by Supercell, have been played by millions and earned billions. Now, they will serve as the inspiration for a new show on Netflix. According to the streaming platform, the story will follow “a determined but in-over-his-head barbarian who must rally a band of misfits to defend their village and navigate the comically absurd politics of war.”

The show is being led by Fletcher Moules, who has directed many of Clash of Clans’ official animated shorts. He will be joined by Ron Weiner, known for his writing on hit shows like 30 Rock and Silicon Valley.

The streaming company confirmed that the series is in pre-production, while also sharing a teaser image (seen below) that offers a glimpse of a mustachioed, sword-wielding Barbarian, who is set to charge onto screens for an all-new adventure with his high-pitched, hog-riding misfit friends.

Fletcher Moules will serve as showrunner on the Netflix series, aptly titled Clash, bringing the legendary video game franchise to life. He is already very familiar with the games' vast catalog of characters, which includes everything from rage-filled Barbarians (like the one pictured) to pyromaniac wizards, having previously worked with Supercell on the Clash of Clans animated web series on YouTube.

Phil Donahue, known as the “King of Daytime Talk,” has died at the age of 88. He passed away in his home surrounded by family on Sunday, August 18. To remember the daytime television legend, here is a look at the talk show host’s long, successful career.

A Look Back At Phil Donahue’s Career

The daytime talk show host kickstarted his career in the late 1950s. He got his start on radio and television before pitching his own talk show, The Phil Donahue Show. The show was created in 1967 in Dayton, Ohio. Over the years, he gained credibility for talking about controversial topics. He also took viewers behind bars at the Ohio State Penitentiary in 1971, which gained him a lot of recognition among journalists.

The show’s hour-long broadcast dedicated itself to single issues. Each episode would cover things like abuse in the Catholic Church, race relations, and feminism, all hot topics at the time.

People.com has just reported that daytime talk show host icon Phil Donahue has passed away at the age of 88. In a statement provided by his family, they confirmed that Donahue had “died in his home surrounded by his family including his wife of 44 years — actress Marlo Thomas — as well as his sister, his children, grandchildren and his beloved golden retriever, Charlie.” The statement also confirmed that he had “passed away peacefully following a long illness.” The family also requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Phil Donahue/Notre Dame Scholarship Fund.

Those of you who grew up in the 90s probably caught the tail-end of his famous talk show Donahue, which he created and hosted as it evolved from the local series The Phil Donahue Show from Dayton, Ohio, in 1967 to the New York City institution, which concluded in...

In the "Futurama" episode "The Luck of the Fryrish", Fry (Billy West) becomes increasingly concerned about his lack of good luck in the 31st century. He loses at horse races, loses his last dollar, and loses all his hair when he is struck by lightning. Fry figures that his lack of good luck stems from the fact that he lost a lucky talisman when he was a youth. Fry used to have a seven-leaf clover that brought him good fortune, and made him lucky enough to beat his jealous older brother Yancy (Tom Kenny) at basketball. Although Fry had been cryogenically frozen for 1,000 years, he figures his seven-leaf clover is still locked in his childhood safe, preserved in the subterranean ruins of old New York. Into the sewers he must go. 

The episodes cuts back and forth between Fry in the 31st century as he seeks his clover, and Fry in the past,...

In the "Futurama" episode "The Luck of the Fryrish", Fry (Billy West) is incensed when a trip to the racetrack leaves him with only his last dollar. Waving the dollar above his head, he boasts to the fates that it will remain his. A rogue breeze, however, whips the dollar out of his hand and deposits it on top of some nearby power lines. Fry, determined to retrieve his last dollar ... not terribly bright ... climbs up to the power lines with a metal rake, hoping to scoop up his money. Predictably, touching the rake to the power lines electrocutes Fry. Then, to add insult to injury, the rake attracts a lightning bolt, electrocuting Fry a second time. He falls into a garbage can, his hair burned off. 

Later, back at Planet Express, Fry seethes, his bald head still smoldering. Luckily, a Hair Robot -- a character never before seen on...

Ron Weiner, a Daytime Emmy-winning director for Donahue who also worked at WGN Chicago for 25 years, has died. He was 93.

He died in Baltimore on March 18, where he was living in a nursing home, Howard Weiner told The Hollywood Reporter. His cause of death was not immediately available.

Born in 1930 in Chicago, Weiner was the first in his family to attend college. He completed a two-year undergraduate program at the University of Illinois at Navy Pier before enrolling at Columbia College, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in speech.

After attending the Navy’s Officer Candidate School and spending three years at Naval Station Argentia as a communications officer, Weiner began his career in television in 1956 with Chicago Tribune-owned WGN-tv. Starting as a prop man, he eventually worked his way up to staff director by 1960, directing several different WGN programs.

Then in 1974, when Phil Donahue moved his talk show to WGN,...

Ron Weiner, a television director at WGN Chicago for 25 years and three-time Daytime Emmy-winning director for talkshow “Donahue,” died on March 18 in Baltimore, Md. He was 93.

Weiner directed shows including “Donahue,” “An Evening With B.B. King,” “Garfield Goose and Friends” and produced “Bozo’s Circus.” He was nominated for four Emmys and won three for “Donahue.”

Weiner’s began his career in television in 1956 when he landed a job as a prop man at the Chicago Tribune-owned WGN Television. He joined the technical staff and worked his way up to WGN staff director by 1960. Weiner then directed several programs in WGN’s schedule, from the sign-on routine to news, children’s programs, interview shows, and broadcasts of Cubs games and other sports events.

After the success of “Donahue,” Weiner worked on talk shows and pilot productions for Tribune Broadcasting. There, he directed “How to Be a No-Limit Person” with Wayne Dyer...

Futurama's Bender engages in violent acts for fun, which shows his disdain for humanity. Turanga Leela resorts to violence to intimidate others or protect her friends throughout Futurama. Leela's is not beyond hurting those close to her, with Futurama's "Anthology of Interest" depicting the lengths she could actually go.

The world of Futurama is one where death and murder aren't just accepted aspects of life, but a casual constant. People who should by all accounts be dead can live on as heads in jars, and characters causing countless deaths across the cosmos is brushed aside. Even with this in mind, some of the show's nominally heroic characters have racked up some horrifying kill counts over the years.

In one of Futurama's darkest elements, Bender and Turanga Leela have proven to be very violent over the years. Bender especially has a staggering kill count in-universe, and Leela has...

The following contains spoilers for Futurama Season 8, Episode 6, "I Know What You Did Next XMas," now streaming on Hulu.

One of the things that's always stood out about Futurama is the way the show balances a constant goofy tone with more emotional beats. Whether that's endearing romance, surprising introspection, or heartbreaking tragedy, Futurama's best episodes have run the gamut of emotional beats. But it's also made a habit of turning one of its single saddest moments into a punchline over and over again.

Season 8's "I Know What You Did Next XMas" -- Written by Ariel Ladensohn and Directed by Crystal Chesney-Thompson -- features a sly gag at the expense of Fry's long-dead dog, Seymour. Seymour was introduced in one of Futurama's most infamously somber episodes, often held up as one of TV's saddest sequences. It's far from the first time the sci-fi/comedy has poked fun...

Should “Inside Amy Schumer” Season 5 be considered a legacy revival? While the show’s time off the air hasn’t been quite as extensive as later-season revivals like “Arrested Development” or “The X-Files,” six and a half years can feel like an eternity in popular and political culture, especially when accompanied by a worldwide pandemic. Schumer herself must be particularly aware of the fullness of this time; when Season 4 of the show debuted in spring 2016, she was fresh off a big hit movie “Trainwreck” and a moment in the cultural zeitgeist; an ongoing Comedy Central sketch series seemed almost charmingly small-scale for such an ascendant star.

Since then, she’s starred in two more broad big-screen comedies, made her Broadway debut in Steve Martin’s “Meteor Shower,” given an underseen but excellent performance in “The Humans,” written and directed her Hulu series “Life & Beth,” co-hosted the Oscars, gotten married and had a child.

The most recent episode of Inside Amy Schumer was a fairly innocuous one. A clip show featuring snippets of sketches from all four seasons of the show, it was framed by a parody of a Real Housewives reunion, with a spray-tanned Schumer and co-stars like Bridget Everett cursing each other out while Andy Cohen looked on with amusement.

This was June 16, 2016 — the before of the before times. The presidential election and all the ugliness that followed it wouldn’t be for another four months, Covid was years away, abortion was still legal nationwide,...

Spoiler Warning: This article reveals details from the series finale for HBO’s Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley finished its sixth and final season on HBO on Sunday night with a swan song episode for Pied Piper.

Created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler, and Dave Krinsky, the Emmy-nominated Silicon Valley is a subversive satire of modern-day tech sector with its the brightest and the biggest aren’t necessarily the best.

“Silicon Valley has been a career and life highlight for us,” series executive producers/showrunners Mike Judge and Alec Berg said when the final season was announced in May. “We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place.

Silicon Valley will return for its seven-episode, sixth and final season in October, HBO revealed today at TCA. A specific date was not announced.

Created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, the Emmy-nominated Silicon Valley takes a comic look at the modern-day epicenter of the high-tech gold rush, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success.

“Silicon Valley has been a career and life highlight for us,” series executive producers/showrunners Mike Judge and Alec Berg said when the final season was announced in May. “We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place.

The sixth and final season of “Silicon Valley” is returning in October, HBO announced Wednesday. An official premiere date has yet to be set.

A collaboration between showrunners Mike Judge and Alec Berg, the final season will consist of seven episodes. The series takes a comedic look at the modern-day epicenter of the high-tech gold rush, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success.

HBO announced in May that the sixth season of “Silicon Valley” would be its last.

“‘Silicon Valley’ has been a career and life highlight for us. We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion,” Judge and Berg said at the time. “We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew, and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much...

The upcoming sixth season of “Silicon Valley” will be the HBO comedy’s last, Variety has learned.

The final season will be an abbreviated seven episode run, making it the shortest season of the show. “Silcon Valley” is currently in pre-production and is slated to debut later this year. It had been announced late last year that production on the season would be delayed until this summer due to co-showrunner and executive producer Alec Berg’s commitments to fellow HBO comedy “Barry.”

“’Silicon Valley’ has been a career and life highlight for us,” said Berg and fellow co-showrunner/executive producer Mike Judge. “We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew, and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we...

Ending months of speculation, HBO has confirmed that the upcoming sixth season of comedy series Silicon Valley will be its last. Currently in pre-production, Season 6 will consist of seven episodes and premiere later this year.

“Silicon Valley has been a career and life highlight for us,” series executive producers/showrunners Mike Judge and Alec Berg said. “We’ll miss it desperately, but we’ve always let Pied Piper’s journey guide the way, and Season 6 seems to be the fitting conclusion. We are forever indebted to our incredible cast, crew and partners at HBO. At a certain point, there’s only so much we can do to make the world a better place.”

Rumors about Silicon Valley possibly coming to an end started when Season 6 was delayed, largely to accommodate Berg, who co-created and runs fellow HBO comedy series Barry. All previous seasons of Silicon Valley, ranging from eight to 10 episodes,...

HBO’s comedy series Silicon Valley is taking a long break between Season 5 and and Season 6. Renewed for a sixth season last summer, Silicon Valley is likely not going to go into production until this summer. That is in part because its executive producer/showrunner Alec Berg also runs fellow HBO comedy series Barry, which he co-created.

The long delay and the series’ age have prompted much speculation that Silicon Valley‘s sixth season would be its last.

“In terms of last season, it’s a natural question; we have had conversations with them,” HBO president of programming Casey Bloys told Deadline. “Obviously when you get to the sixth season of a show, you have to talk about how much more is there in this, do you want to do more, so we have had those conversations. To be honest, what (the producers) want to do is get in the (writers) room,...

HBO is pushing back the start of production on the sixth season of “Silicon Valley” in order to accommodate showrunner Alec Berg’s same responsibilities on “Barry.”

There is no word from HBO on when production on the new season of “Silicon Valley” will start, but TV Line reported it will likely be next summer, which could mean that the series may not return until 2020.

“As Alec Berg is a showrunner on both ‘Barry’ and ‘Silicon Valley,’ the schedule was structured to allow Alec to wrap on ‘Barry’ before starting work on ‘Silicon Valley,'” an HBO spokesperson said in a statement.

The move will likely take “Silicon Valley” out of contention for the Emmys, where it has been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series each year. “Barry” won a pair of acting Emmys for its first season,...

Production on the sixth season of HBO’s “Silicon Valley” has been delayed until mid-next year, Variety has confirmed.

The comedy series will now begin production on the new season in summer 2019, meaning the season may not air until 2020.

“As Alec Berg is a showrunner on both ‘Barry’ and ‘Silicon Valley,’ the schedule was structured to allow Alec to wrap on ‘Barry’ before starting work on ‘Silicon Valley,'” an HBO spokesperson said in a statement to Variety.

“Barry,” HBO’s new comedy starring Bill Hader as a hitman with dreams of being an actor, debuted back in March and was renewed for a second season at the same time “Silicon Valley” was renewed for its sixth.

“Silicon Valley”–which stars Thomas Middleditch, Martin Starr, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Woods and Amanda Crew–has been nominated for multiple Emmys throughout its run, including best comedy series. It has won two of the awards to date,...

Following the recent season premieres of both shows, HBO has renewed the freshman comedy series Barry and returning fan favorite Silicon Valley. The announcement was made by Amy Gravitt, executive vice president, HBO Programming.

“While Barry has delighted audiences with its deft interplay of comedy and drama, Silicon Valley remains as brilliantly and frighteningly prescient as ever,” noted Gravitt. “We’re thrilled that these two smart, funny shows are returning for another season.”

Created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader, Barry launched its eight-episode first season March 25. Hader stars in the title role as a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest who finds himself drawn into a community of acting students while on a hit job in La. He wants to start a new life, but his criminal past won’t let him walk away. Can he find a way to balance the two worlds?

HBO’s Silicon Valley Season 6 will be the final exploits of the embattled tech entrepreneurs of Pied Piper.

Silicon Valley Season 6 is definitely happening on HBO! Unfortunately it will be the show's final season.

Variety reports that HBO has announced that Silicon Valley Season 6 will be the final go-around for Pied Piper. This makes sense as the story has largely run its course and showrunner Alec Berg is moonlighting on Barry. Still, we'll be sad to see Richard and Co. go.

Silicon Valley is the creation of Mike Judge, John Atlschuler, and Dave Krinsky. It's executive produced by creators Judge and Berg, joined in that capacity by Clay Tarver, Michael Rotenberg, Tom Lassally, Jim Kleverweis, with co-executive producers Jamie Babbit, Anthony King, Graham Wagner, and Ron Weiner. They are joined by consulting producers Carrie Kemper, Carson Mell, Jonathan Dotan, Todd Silverstein and Josh Lieb.

Silicon Valley Season...

HBO has renewed comedy series Barry for a second season and Silicon Valley for its sixth go-round.

“While Barry has delighted audiences with its deft interplay of comedy and drama, Silicon Valley remains as brilliantly and frighteningly prescient as ever,” noted Amy Amy Gravitt, executive vice president, HBO Programming. “We’re thrilled that these two smart, funny shows are returning for another season.”

The renewal for both series comes shortly after the season premieres for each.

HBO has renewed the comedies “Barry” and “Silicon Valley.”

“While ‘Barry’ has delighted audiences with its deft interplay of comedy and drama, ‘Silicon Valley’ remains as brilliantly and frighteningly prescient as ever,” said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO Programming. “We’re thrilled that these two smart, funny shows are returning for another season.”

Created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader, “Barry” lauched its first season on March 25. Hader stars in the title role as a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest who finds himself drawn into a community of acting students while on a hit job in La. He wants to start a new life, but his criminal past won’t let him walk away.

Season 1 of “Barry” also starred Henry Winkler, Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Glenn Fleshler, Anthony Carrigan, and Paula Newsome. Berg and Hader also serve as executive producers, with Aida Rodgers and Emily Heller producing.

With so much hype surrounding shows’ Christmas and Halloween specials, it’s easy to forget that there have been some great St. Patrick’s Day episodes in the TV world. So here are a lucky seven episodes that’ll get you excited to celebrate the holiday! Or make you want to stay at home and chill, since all are available to stream on Netflix.

“30 Rock”

Like a double rainbow, “30 Rock” gave its fans not one, but two reasons to get excited, as it aired two St. Patrick’s Day episodes in 2009 and 2012. However, the 2009 episode, “The Funcooker,” is the standout. Written by Tom Ceraulo and Donald Glover, the episode sees Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) attend jury duty, in which the woman on trial hilariously reflects Liz’s own work problems. She must also juggle problems that arise when her show’s stars (Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski) pass out and curse while hosting the St.

The Writers Guild of America has just announced the nominations for their annual awards for Best Screenplays (by writers who are guild signatories). That’s right, before you get nervous thinking that your favorite may have been left off the list, you must remember that the WGA is the group that is not all-inclusive and leaves out several of the top contenders each year due to them not being part of the guild or not following their very specific rules. For this reason, you won’t see Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Ex Machina in the Original Screenplay category or Room, Brooklyn, or Anomalisa in the Adapted screenplay category.

Taking a look at what’s left over for the nominations, we find many that were expected to make a showing, including Spotlight and Bridge of Spies for Original Screenplay, though they apparently had to sink to really low depths...

The Writers Guild of America announced some of its nominees for its 2015 awards on Thursday, including television, new media, and radio, and among the TV nominees are series both new and old, and all beloved.

In the comedy series category, freshman Netflix show "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" scored a nomination for best series, as well as an overall best new series nod. "The Last Man on Earth" also landed in that latter category, and was singled out for its pilot episode writing, too.

On the drama side of the equation, lauded "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul" also got best series and best new series nominations, in addition to a an episode writing nod. Newly-minted Emmy winner "Game of Thrones" also scored a best drama citation, as well as an episodic writing nomination.

The full list of nominees released this week are below. Nominations in the theatrical and documentary categories will...

Let’s talk shop: The second season of a show, if it is lucky enough to get one, is its most important. Season two is where the writers, producers, and cast have a chance to build up what works and cut the fat. Silicon Valley’s first season brought the show to a place prime for second season rejiggering, with an established world and tone, cracker jack dialogue, and performances both subtle and grandiose. But the unfortunate death of Christopher Evan Welch, who played the angel investor for the show’s startup, gave Mike Judge and Co. the added challenge of having to move forward without one of its key actors and narrative tools.

Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" won the Original Screenplay honor at the recently concluded Writers Guild Awards while Morten Tyldum's "The Imitation Game" took home the Adapted Screenplay trophy. "The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swarts" written by Brian Knappenberger won Documentary Screenplay award. The film is not nominated for an Academy award.

In TV land, HBO's "True Detective" won the Drama Series award and FX's "Louie" received the Comedy Series trophy.

The Writers Guild of America announced the TV nominees for the 2015 WGA Awards on Thursday (December 4) morning and several new shows broke into the fields in a big way. And, of course, there were a number of big WGA Award nomination head-scratchers. Specifically, where the heck was FX's "Fargo"? The answer is below. Making perhaps the biggest splash was "Transparent," which earned three nominations and, since "Orange Is The New Black" earned two nods and "House of Cards" pick up one, that meant that Amazon Prime and Netflix are, at least for one award-giving organization, on equal footing as creators of original programming. The Jill Soloway-created "Transparent" is nominated for New Series, where it will go against "The Affair," "The Knick," "Silicon Valley" and "True Detective." "Transparent" and "Silicon Valley" are also up for Comedy Series, going against "Louie," "Veep" and "Orange Is The New Black." Lest you panic...

Oh yes it still hurts that Ben Affleck was not given a Best Director Oscar nomination, yet his fantastic film "Argo" continues its ascension to Oscar glory! The film took home the top prize at the Producers Guild of America Awards taking home the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.

So guess which film will win the Oscar Best Picture? Yup, it will be "Argo!" Why? Well, Hollywood really loves movies about them and "Argo" is about a movie of a fake movie in order to help free some Americans trapped in Iran during the hostage crisis.

And, the PGA award is a significant Academy Awards precursor. Only seven times in 24 years has the PGA winner failed to win a Best Picture Oscar. So "Argo" has a strong chance.

I'm also happy that "Searching for Sugar Man" won the Documentary category, and not so happy...

Earlier this week The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced the nominations for their annual awards for theatrical motion picture, animated motion picture and long-form television nominations for the 2013 Producers Guild Awards.

This was an incredible year for films, and most of the movies nominated here deserve to be. Out of all the films listed here, I'd like to see Zero Dark Thirty or Silver Linings Playbook take the top prize for motion picture, Paranorman for animated film, Game of Thrones for TV drama, and Curb Your Enthusiasm for TV Comedy. In case you missed them, here they are! Look them over and let us know what films you'd like to see win!

Ten nominations in the theatrical motion picture category include:

Argo (Warner Bros.)

Beasts of the Southern Wild (Fox Searchlight)

Django Unchained (The Weinstein Company)

Life of Pi (20th Century Fox)

Lincoln (DreamWorks)

Les Misérables (Universal)

The Producers Guild of America has announced its nominations for best productions of the year, in what is often looked to as an indicator for how the Academy Awards may go.

The guild selected 10 films — most of them common guesses for the group that could make up the Oscar list of the best films of 2012: Argo, Lincoln, Les Misérables, among others.

The one surprise: Skyfall. No 007 film has ever cracked the Best Picture list, but if this nomination is any indication, that could change when the Oscar nods are revealed Jan. 10.
