Casey Bloys, who was recently named co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance, will be honored with the Milestone Award at the upcoming Producers Guild Awards.
Recipients of the Milestone Award, which honors those who have made historic contributions to the entertainment industry, include Hollywood legends Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney, and Alfred Hitchcock, as well as Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing, James Cameron, Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, Charles D. King, Dana Walden, and Jason Blum, last year’s honoree.
“Considering Hollywood’s recent history, no one is more deserving of the Milestone Award than Casey Bloys, said PGA Presidents Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah in a statement. “Over the last decade, Casey has had a front row seat to all the disruption and consolidation facing our industry. All the while he has remained a true and steadfast champion of the creative process. He is a friend to producers, writers, actors and everyone who has dedicated their lives and careers to entertainment.”
Said Bloys, “I’ve always believed our job is to create an environment where talented people can take risks, tell ambitious stories and do their best work. I’m enormously grateful to the Producers Guild for this recognition and to all of the producers, storytellers and colleagues who have been part of that journey.”
Since assuming oversight of HBO programming as president in 2016, Bloys has led the development and production of award-winning and critically acclaimed series, including Succession, Euphoria, Barry, Girls, Veep, Insecure, Mare of Easttown, Big Little Lies, and The Pitt.
