Producers Guild Announce Nominations.

Another slap to Atonement, but this year there have been very strong American films. What with this being an election year with most of the world watching to see if the U.S. can fix their mess themselves, no wonder they are looking inward.

The lone exception is "Diving Bell" (pictured) but it is apparently (need to see it NOW) inspirational, and that is a universal language.
For this year, "Atonement" could seem far to foreign (overly British and old fashioned) to be heaped with praise from a country looking inward.
