The Producers Guild of America has picked nominees for 2006's best film from both ends of the budget spectrum.Star-studded blockbusters including musical Dreamgirls and thriller The Departed are alongside smaller movies The Queen and Little Miss Sunshine.
Multi-layered cultural drama Babel is also in the running.
The Guild's awards, announced on 20 January, are highly regarded in Hollywood and nominations are seen as a boost in the Oscars race.
"I love the variety - the mixture of dramas, a musical and a comedy, and the fact that you have big budgets and small budgets," said Producers Guild executive director Vance Van Petten.

One notable absentee was Clint Eastwood's World War II drama Letters from Iwo Jima, which has drawn glowing reviews since its US release and has already picked up two top critics' prizes.
The Producers Guild also nominated the makers of five films for best animated movie - Cars, Happy Feet, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Monster House and Flushed Away.
Nominees for best "long-form" TV programme include BBC co-production Bleak House, Mrs Harris, High School Musical, Elizabeth I and Flight 93.
Hospital shows Grey's Anatomy and House were nominated for best TV drama, alongside 24, The Sopranos and Lost.
