In an announcement outed Monday, the Producers Guild of America revealed their recognition upon "Good Night And Good Luck" which will surely be awarded the 2006 Stanley Kramer Award, which honors movies that shed light on social issues. The drama flick chronicles the real-life conflict between TV news anchorman Edward R. Murrow and Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. Murrow and his CBS colleagues used the news as a forum to reveal the senator's scare mongering tactics as he attempted to cleanse the nation of communists.
