The Producers Guild of America will bestow the Milestone Award to genre maestro Jason Blum at their 37th Annual Producers Guild Awards.
The Milestone Award is given to those who’ve made a great impact in the entertainment industry. Blum will follow in the footsteps of such Milestone Honorees as Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing, James Cameron, Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, Charles D. King, and Dana Walden.
“Jason Blum has redefined what’s possible in independent filmmaking, proving that bold vision and creative ingenuity can create global cultural touchstones, even with modest resources,” said Producers Guild of America Presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald De Line.
“Through Blumhouse, he has championed fearless storytellers, nurtured fresh voices, and established a body of work that spans some of the most successful and inventive films and series of our time. We are proud to recognize his remarkable contributions with the Milestone Award.”
“I’m moved to be recognized by my peers with this year’s Milestone Award. Fifteen years ago, I was a struggling independent producer, and I could never have imagined receiving an honor like this. I’m grateful to Stephanie, Donald, and the PGA for this recognition. The journey here is thanks to our small but mighty team of talented weirdos at Blumhouse, who dedicate themselves every day to the idea that strangers love to be afraid together in the dark; to the audiences who keep showing up for that experience; and, of course, to the brilliant filmmakers, actors, writers, and crew who have entrusted us along the way,” said Blum, CEO & Founder, Blumhouse.
Blum is a 3x Oscar-nominated, 2x Primetime Emmy Award-winning and a 3x Peabody Award-winning producer. Blumhouse merged with James Wan’s Atomic Monster in 2024, the combined companies counting close to 250 movies and TV series with close to $10 billion at the global box office. They also recently acquired the prospective rights to the Saw franchise.
Blumhouse franchises include Halloween, Paranormal Activity, Insidious, The Black Phone, The Purge, and Five Nights at Freddy’s among many others including M. Night Shyamalan titles, Glass, Split, and The Visit. His additional feature film credits include, but are not limited to such Oscar winning titles as Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash; Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman; and Jordan Peele’s Get Out from Jordan Peele. Bluhouse TV slate includes Worst Roommate Ever and Worst Ex Ever for Netflix, as well as a new adaptation of John Grisham’s The Rainmaker for USA Network and the upcoming crime drama Scarpetta for Prime Video, based on Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling novels, starring and executive produced by Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis.
