PGAThe Producers to Guild honor of America announced Kevin that Kevin Feige Feige will be hon- ored with the 2019 David O. Selznick Achievement Award, recognizing the producer’s body of work in motion pictures. Feige will receive the award at the 30th annual Producers Guild Awards on Jan. 19 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. As president of Marvel Studios since 2007 and producer of each of its 20 genre-spanning films to date, Feige is widely credited with creating the unprecedented and ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. His for- ward-thinking approach to production, diverse casting and globally resonant storylines make him one of the most exciting and relevant filmmakers of our time. Since the inception of Marvel Studios, Feige has continually brought together a diverse group of talent for each of his films, seeking out unique and unexpected voices to bring the studio’s stories to life, from writers and directors to actors and below-the-line professionals, according to a news release from the Producer’s Guild. This effort reached its apex with this year’s release of the critically acclaimed “Black Panther.” The film became a global cultural phemomeon, proving that showcasing diverse voices can lead to global success. The most successful domestic release of 2018, “Black Panther” earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide. Every one of Marvel Studios’ 20 films has opened to No. 1 at the box office and together have amassed more than $17.6 billion in global box office.
