The Producers Guild of America announced Wednesday that Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, the co-chairmen of Working Title Films, will receive the 2013 David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures.

The duo has produced film including “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Fargo” and “Anna Karenina,” which opens Friday, and the musical “Les Miserables,” which is set for a Christmas Day release.

They will be presented with the award at the 24th annual Producers Guild Awards on Jan. 26 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Past recipients include Stanley Kramer, Clint Eastwood, Billy Wilder, Roger Corman and Steven Spielberg.

“Tim and Eric’s profound body of work includes many of the most beloved and critically acclaimed films,” said 2013 PGA Awards Chair Michael DeLuca in a statement Wednesday. “Both as individuals and as a bona fide producing team, they have made contributions to the art and the craft of storytelling, which are the envy of filmmakers the world over.”
