Muse Entertainment’s period mini-series Pillar of the Earth has snagged a Producers Guild of America award nomination for best TV movie/mini-series.
The international co-production earlier grabbed a Golden Globe nomination.
The PGA competition will see Pillars up against three other mini-series that also grabbed Golden Globe nominations – The Pacific, Temple Grandin and You Don’t Know Jack as well as Murder on the Orient Express.
The $40 million, eight-part Pillars miniseries, funded by Canadian, German and British financiers, has an ensemble cast that includes Canadian actors Donald Sutherland, Alison Pill and Gordon Pinsent.
The epic drama has just started airing on the CBC after a debut run on Movie Central and The Movie Network.
The U.S. cable channel Starz aired the epic mini-series stateside.
Pillars is based on the Ken Follett novel about construction on an English cathedral in the 12th century, and was co-produced by Muse, Tandem Communications and Scott Free Films.
The PGA Awards will be handed out January 22 in Los Angeles, after the Golden Globes on January 16.
