Jason Blum Rallies Producers to Keep Believing In The “Impossible” As He Accepts PGA Milestone Award

Producer Jason Blum accepted the prestigious Milestone Award tonight at the 37th annual Producers Guild Awards, where he was honored for his significant contributions to the film industry, particularly in the horror genre. In his acceptance speech, Blum humbly referred to himself as "this lowly middle-aged producer" while expressing gratitude to several key figures in his career journey. The award was presented by Barry Diller, billionaire chairperson of IAC, whom Blum praised as "an incredible friend and mentor to me my whole life." Throughout his heartfelt speech, Blum acknowledged the support system that enabled his success, beginning with his wife Lauren, who he credited for supporting him in everything he does. He also recognized CAA's Bryan Lourd, "who has believed in me since day one," and Universal's Donna Langley, "who took a chance on Blumhouse when it was barely more than an idea." Blum concluded by highlighting his newest professional partnership with "extraordinary artist" James Wan, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his prolific career.
