“One Battle After Another,” “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet” and “Sinners” are among the films that will compete Saturday evening for the coveted Producers Guild of America Award for theatrical motion pictures, an honor that typically leads to a best-picture victory on Oscar night.

Also nominated for the guild’s Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures are “Bugonia,” “F1,” “Marty Supreme,” “Sentimental Value,” “Train Dreams” and “Weapons.”

The PGA honor for theatrical motion pictures 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. Last year, both honors went to “Anora.”

According to the PGA, 17 of the previous 22 winners of the guild’s motion award have won the best picture prize at the Oscars.

The 37th annual PGA Awards will be held at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Century City.

Nominees for animated motion pictures are “The Bad Guys 2,” “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” “Elio,” “KPop Demon Hunters” and “Zootopia 2.”

On the small screen, drama television series nominees are “Andor,” “The Diplomat,” “The Pitt,” “Pluribus,” “Severance” and “The White Lotus.” Nominated for comedy series honors are “The Bear,” “Hacks,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “South Park” and “The Studio.”

Among those set to serve as presenters during Saturday’s ceremony are Amy Madigan, Delroy Lindo, Elle Fanning, Emily V Gordon, Greta Gerwig, Ike Barinholtz, Jacob Elordi, Jason Ritter, Jessie Buckley, Joachim Trier, Kate Hudson, Kerry Condon, Kumail Nanjiani, Lisa Gilroy, Mariska Hargitay, Michael Keaton, Paul Mescal, Ralph Farquhar, Regina Hall, Seth Rogen, Teyana Taylor, Thomas Lennon, Vinny Thomas, Wagner Moura, William H. Macy and Wumni Mosaku
