Lynda Obst, Paula Weinstein to Receive PGA Award

The Producers Guild of America will posthumously honor Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein with the Trailblazer Award at the PGA Awards on February 8, 2025, recognizing their significant contributions to empowering women in Hollywood. Both producers, who passed away in 2024, were celebrated for their commitment to amplifying women's voices and breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Obst, known for films like 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'Interstellar', was a notable advocate for gender parity behind the camera. Weinstein, a two-time Emmy winner, produced influential works including 'The Perfect Storm' and 'Grace and Frankie', and was a trailblazer as one of the highest-ranking women in the film industry.
