The Producers Guild of America added two trophies to “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s” growing award collection on Saturday in Beverly Hills. The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series won the Danny Thomas Award for outstanding producer of episodic television for the second year in a row, and producer Amy Sherman-Palladino nabbed the Norman Lear Achievement Award.
“Dinner and a prize—a Jewish girl’s favorite Saturday night,” Sherman-Palladino exclaimed after accepting her award from Lauren Graham, her “Gilmore Girls” lead actress. Paying tribute to the award’s namesake, she said she hopes “that I took away from Mr. Lear the ability to take care of my troupe, make the women feel empowered, and not make the men feel like schmucks, to make sure that whatever we do, we do it in great love.”
Production on the third season of “Mrs. Maisel” begins in New York in mid-March.
