Wilson already got a nod of respect from the Producers’ Guild of America last year, when “Skyfall” was one of the 10 films nominated for their top award. At the next PGA ceremony, on January 26, the duo will actually get to take something home: they’ve been named the winners of the PGA’s David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Motion Pictures, a prize previously presented to such named as Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Billy Wilder and Roger Corman.
