"Harry Potter producer nominated for top award"

British producer David Heyman could be in line for a top American award for his work on Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.

Heyman is one of five nominations for the Producer's Guild of America's (PGA) Producer of the Year Award for motion pictures.

But he faces tough competition from the producers of Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings.

The adaptation of JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy racked up another awards nominations after receiving a massive 13 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director, yesterday.

The other films nominated for the prestigious industry award are A Beautiful Mind, musical Moulin Rouge and animated movie Shrek.

Meanwhile the producers of television dramas Wit, which starred British actress Emma Thompson, Anne Frank, Life With Judy Garland: Me And My Shadows and 61 are battling it out for awards.

The fifth nomination in the Best Television Producer category is for popular drama Band Of Brothers, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

And Frasier producer David Angell, who was one of those killed on board a plane which ploughed into the World Trade Centre on September 11, could receive a posthumous award for his work on the popular comedy show.

Angell, who created the sitcom, died with his wife Lynn while en route from Boston to Los Angeles after a family wedding. He and the rest of the Frasier team are nominated in the Producer of the Year category for Episodic Television (Comedy).

The PGA award winners will be announced at a ceremony in Hollywood on March 3.
