The Producers Guild of America yesterday announced nominations for its top honor: "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," "Juno," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood."

The winner of the PGA's Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year award will be announced Feb. 2 and is seen as a possible sign of Oscar success. However, a year ago, "Little Miss Sunshine" took the producers' honor, but "The Departed" won the Academy Award as best picture.
