2010 PGA Awards Nominees List in TV

Producers Guild of America has unveiled its list of nominees for the 2010 batch. Noticeable from the line-up this year is the fact that cable channels are triumphing over major networks by 70 percent, showing the growth in making good shows for cable channels.

Representing the cables are the likes of "Mad Men", "Weeds", "True Blood" and "Top Chef" that come from AMC, Showtime, HBO and Bravo TV respectively. Meanwhile, representing the national networks are "The Office", "Lost", "60 Minutes" and "American Idol" which are the programs by NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX respectively.

Showtime in particular is dominating the nominations with four counts. In Comedy alone, the cable is having two of its shows, "Weeds" and "Californication". These two will try to battle out reigning champion of the category for two years in a row, NBC's "30 Rock".

Winners of the 21st year will be revealed at the Hollywood Palladium with the nominees for Theatrical Motion Picture and Longform Television categories to be announced on January 5. Mark Burnett will be the first reality TV producer to receive the Norman Lear Achievement and Joss Whedon will be honored with the 2010 Vanguard Award.
