Casey Bloys to Receive Producers Guild Milestone Award
Casey Bloys, the longtime head of HBO, will receive the Milestone Award at the 38th Annual Producers Guild Awards, Variety reported on Nov. 10, 2026. The ceremony takes place on Feb. 27 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Bloys became president of HBO in 2016. He is now co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance Direct-To-Consumer, the executive who oversees which programmes are made and shown on the company's streaming services.
The guild's honour has a long list of past winners. Earlier recipients include Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing, James Cameron, Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, Jason Blum, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy. Several of those names built careers in film, others in television and streaming, which reflects how wide the industry's reach has become.
Under Bloys' leadership, HBO and HBO Max original programmes won 21 Emmy Awards in the past year, according to Variety. The Emmys are television's main prizes, handed out by the Television Academy.
Viewing numbers were also cited. Seven of Bloys' original series averaged 15 million U.S. viewers per episode across platforms, meaning TV sets and streaming counted together.
The Producers Guild, which represents film, television and digital producers, has named Mike Farah and Joe Farrell as the event chairs for the 2027 Producers Guild Awards. Event chairs lead the planning and fundraising for the evening.
Milestone Awards are rarely the story on their own. They tend to arrive at a moment when a leader's record is easy to measure, and this one is no different. The ceremony will be the place where that record is read out loud, in front of the people who make the shows.
