Skyfall has become the first James Bond film to be nominated for the top prize at the Producers Guild of America Awards.
Star-studded musical Les Miserables and Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln are also on the list of 10 shortlisted films.
The Producers Guild of America (PGA) award is seen as a good indicator of which film could win best picture at the Oscars.
The PGA winner has gone on to win best picture 16 times in the last 23 years.
The last time the PGA and the Oscars disagreed was six years ago when the PGA chose Little Miss Sunshine and the Oscar went to The Departed.
Ben Affleck and George Clooney are nominated this year as the producers of the Iran hostage drama Argo, while 2009 PGA winner Kathryn Bigelow is nominated for Zero Dark Thirty.
