The Producers Guild Awards, often a reliable prognostication of the Best Picture Oscar cateorgy, announced its 10 nominees on Friday for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.

The list included large-scale, large-budget titles such as “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things,” along with international films “The Zone of Interest,” “Past Lives” and “Anatomy of a Fall.” Also nominated were “Maestro,” “The Holdovers” and “American Fiction.”

The list did not include any major surprises or curveballs, though the favored movies that didn’t make the PGA’s final list include “The Color Purple,” “May December” and “All of Us Strangers.”

The PGA’s choices were good news for a pair of international films, “Anatomy of a Fall” and “The Zone of Interest,” which are looking to break into the Best Picture category at the Oscars. The vast majority of the guild’s nominees go on to receive Oscar nominations, although the two groups rarely find themselves in 100% agreement.

The Producers Guild nominations also keep “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” on track as the only films to have been nominated in the top category at all three major guilds to announce their nominations: the Producers Guild, Directors Guild and Screen Actors Guild. The final major guild, the Writers Guild, will not announce its nominations until Feb. 21.
