Searchlight's "Little Miss Sunshine" was the surprise winner of the Producers Guild of America's top award, the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures.

LMS's competition in the category consisted of "Babel,""the Departed,""Dreamgirls" and "The Queen" — all huge players in the Oscar race.

Marc Turtletaub, David T. Friendly, Peter Saraf, Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa, the producers of "Little Miss Sunshine," were presented the award.

In reporting the news the Associated Press stated, "Comedies rarely fare well during awards season. The nod from the Producers Guild was even more of a surprise given that 'Babel' won the award for best drama at last week's Golden Globe ceremony."

As LMS's Olive (Abigail Breslin) screamed upon being nominated for the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty & talent contest, "I won, I won, I won, I won!"

This I suggest is the most

This I suggest is the most far reaching existential threat to the world. The two most populated countries, China and India, both having a cultural bias that favors femalegenocide, resulting in surplus male populations.sexy lingerie THAT is more testosteran than the world was made to handle.This week "The Washington Times" in Washington DC is running a four-part story called "The Killing of Eve" that addresses the female-genocide situation.
