Los Angeles -- The Producers Guild of America says it plans to honor "Precious: Based on the Novel By Sapphire" with the 2010 Stanley Kramer Award.
The film's producers are to be presented with the award at the 21st annual PGA Awards ceremony Jan. 24 at the Hollywood Palladium.
The guild said it established the Stanley Kramer Award in 2002 to honor a motion picture, television program, studio, network, producer, executive or other individual entity whose work illuminates provocative social issues in an accessible and elevating fashion.
The award is named for the iconic director and producer whose film credits include "The Caine Mutiny," "High Noon," "The Defiant Ones" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."
