The Producers Guild of America will honor Casey Bloys with the Milestone Award at the 38th annual Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, February 27, 2027. The ceremony takes place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. Bloys is the newly instated co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance Direct-To-Consumer.

The PGA's Milestone Award honors individuals or teams who have made historic contributions to the entertainment industry. Its list of past recipients traces much of Hollywood's history:

  • Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock
  • Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing and James Cameron
  • Bob Iger, Donna Langley and Ted Sarandos
  • George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy
  • Charles D. King, Dana Walden and Jason Blum

"Considering Hollywood's recent history, no one is more deserving of the Milestone Award than Casey Bloys," said recently elected PGA presidents Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah in an official 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."

Gigliotti and Farah added: "While Casey is never one to seek the spotlight, the Producers Guild of America is proud to recognize the breadth and depth of his exceptional career with the Milestone Award."

What does the award recognize?

Since becoming President of HBO 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," "The Pitt" and "The White Lotus." HBO and HBO Max original programs received 21 Emmys across eight original programs this past year, along with several other industry awards. Seven of Bloys' current original series drew cross-platform audiences averaging more than 15 million U.S. viewers per episode.

"Receiving the Milestone Award is an incredible honor, particularly from an organization that represents so many of the people I've had the privilege of working alongside throughout my career," Bloys said in his own statement. "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."

In his new role at Skydance, Bloys oversees all original programming for HBO Max and Paramount+. His remit also covers strategy, operations, communications and performance across the company's streaming platforms.

The award lands at a moment of transition for both the executive and the industry. Bloys has moved from the HBO leadership that defined the prestige television era into a newly consolidated streaming operation, and the Guild's citation frames his decade of work as a constant through the sector's disruption and consolidation. The February 2027 ceremony will measure that record against a list of recipients that includes the industry's most consequential figures.
