Producers Guild Nominations: Bridesmaids, Ides, Dragon Tattoo Make Cut; Tree of Life Snubbed
The Producers Guild of America just announced its 2012 award nominees, with a few surprises (The Ides of March? Again?) and noteworthy snubs (sorry, Tree of Life-ers) in the main event. Meanwhile, the animated category dared to recognize the roundly loathed Cars 2, and the documentary voters gave at least on conspicuous Oscar snubbee a break (I'm looking at you, Senna).

Yeahh! Ides & Dragon Tattoo! I was so happy to read that, until I saw that Bridesmaids was nominated but Drive wasn't 🙁
