LOS ANGELES – Continuing their awards season dominance, “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were among 10 films nominated Friday for the coveted Producers Guild of America Award for motion pictures, which traditionally foretells success on Oscar night.
Also nominated for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures were “American Fiction,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Holdovers,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Past Lives,” “Poor Things” and The Zone of Interest.
The PGA honor is traditionally a strong indicator of which film will win the best picture Oscar. Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expanded from five to 10 nominees in 2010, only four films have won the best picture Oscar without first winning the PGA Award.
For animated films, PGA Award nominations went to “The Boy and the Heron,” “Elemental,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.”
For television programs, PGA nominations for drama series producers went to “The Crown,” “The Diplomat,” “The Last of Us,” “The Morning Show” and “Succession.” For comedies, nominations went to “Barry,” “The Bear,” “Jury Duty,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “Ted Lasso.”

The 35th annual PGA Awards will be presented Feb. 25 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood.
