Sam Mendes' war-epic "1917" is making all the right noises before the 92nd Academy Awards and took home the Producers Guild Award for outstanding motion picture, making the best picture race at the Oscars even more interesting.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mendes accepted the award with producer Pippa Harris. In his speech, he said that it was a pleasure to work with so many great actors on this film. Meanwhile, Harris stated that this film is the perfect "reminder" that we should never take "peace" for granted.
