UPDATE: Deadline was just emailed this reaction from Harvey Weinstein: "It is an incredible honor to be recognized by your peers. The PGA is made up of all the people I admire and respect. I congratulate Tom Hooper, our three amazing producers, and our incredible ensemble cast."

No less than comedy mogul Judd Apatow hosted the 22nd annual Producers Guild Awards ceremony held tonight at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. (Judd Apatow Asked Twitter For PGA Jokes) Additionally, the Guild paid tribute to James Cameron (receiving the Milestone Award), Tom Hanks and his Playtone producing partner Gary Goetzman (receiving the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television), Scott Rudin (receiving the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures), Laura Ziskin (receiving the Visionary Award), and RealD (receiving the Vanguard Award). Meanwhile, Larry Gordon got a big laugh from the crowd when he praised Golden Globes Best Picture winner, The Social Network's Scott Rudin, for "thanking his parents, Nikki Finke and Barry Diller". But Sony Picture's movie didn't win tonight; instead the biggest honor went to The Weinstein Co's The King's Speech in an upset win. Harvey Weinstein wasn't even there to see it: he's at the Sundance film Festival.
