Actor Vin Diesel has been mired in a years-long struggle for an illustrious credit from the Producers Guild of America for his contributions to the billion-dollar “Fast and Furious” movie franchise…
The struggle boils down to Diesel’s desire for the Producers Guild of America’s mark of distinction, an addendum to a film credit that signifies to the industry and audiences that a producer has been verified as a substantial contributor in the making of a movie.
The PGA mark appears after a producer’s name almost always in end credits, branded with the letters “p.g.a.” The most important function of the mark is that it makes someone eligible to receive the Oscar for best picture, a prize that goes to producers. On the studio level, producers with the mark are often entitled to early and increased bonuses based on box office performance and award nominations.
The vetting process for the producers exists for that very purpose, the PGA states plainly on its website.
