Amy Pascal will be honored with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award on behalf of the Producers Guild of America. Pascal will accept the award at the 37th Annual Producers Guild Awards on Feb. 28 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Since founding Pascal Pictures in 2015, Pascal has produced major box office hits such as the trilogy of “Spider-Man” movies, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and its sequel “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women,” Steven Spielberg’s “The Post,” and more.
Most recently, Pascal has had producer credits on Noah Baumbach’s “Jay Kelly” and Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. Pascal next will serve as producer on Greta Gerwig’s “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew”; “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” starring Tom Holland; Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s “Project Hail Mary” and the upcoming “James Bond” film by Denis Villeneuve.
“Producing has been the great joy of my professional life, and to receive this honor from the Producers Guild, among so many legendary peers I deeply respect, is incredibly moving,” said Pascal in a press release. “David O. Selznick was the kind of producer who believed in ambition, imagination, and taking risks, and to be awarded in his name is a reminder that producing isn’t just about making movies – it’s about championing bold stories and carrying forward a legacy of daring, visionary filmmaking. I’m so grateful for the PGA and its commitment to protecting and celebrating the craft of producing, and for the extraordinary collaborators, colleagues and mentors who’ve supported me on this journey.”
“Amy exemplifies the essential qualities of a truly great producer: impeccable taste, a keen eye for extraordinary talent both in front of and behind the camera, and an unwavering determination fueled by deep passion,” said PGA Presidents Donald De Line and Stephanie Allain. “Her films are masterclasses in storytelling – seamlessly blending compelling entertainment with thought-provoking ideas – and many have become lasting cultural touchstones.”
Pascal previously served as the Chairperson of the Motion Pictures Group of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Co-Chairperson of SPE from 2006 until 2015.
