‘Birdman,’ ‘Boyhood’ among PGA nominations

One of the best indicators of potential Oscar nominations comes less from other awards shows — the Golden Globes, for example — than from actual industry honors. When looking for Best Picture nominations, one good bet is to check out the Producer's Guild preferences. And since the guild made its own nominations public yesterday, we can get an early start on those Oscar ballots.

The full list can be found here. But it's worthy to note that "Birdman," "Boyhood" and "Foxcatcher" — as well as Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" — made the grade. And if nothing else, lists such as this make good viewing suggestions to anyone who didn't catch the films first time around during their theatrical runs.

It's never too late to see a good movie. The Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 15.
