Where to Stream Every Nominated Movie Before the 2024 Oscars

By News Here - 10:55

This year's Oscars are alomost here. The ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 10, which means you are running out of time if you want to watch all the major nominees before the ceremony. While you've probably already seen biggies like Oppenheimer and Barbie, there are eight other Best Picture candidates to catch, not to mention dozens more in other categories. Luckily, the vast majority are now available on one of the major streaming services, or as a digital rental.

On that note, here is where you can watch all of the feature Academy Award nominees right now (alas, a handful are still only playing in theaters, and not likely to be available at home before the awards are handed out; still others have yet to play anywhere but film festivals or overseas).

And here's a tip: if you're looking to stream the nominees included with a subscription you might already have, Netflix will give you the most bang for your buck: nine of the year's contenders can currently be found there.


Oppenheimer

Nominations: 13

Barbie may have taken home most of the money in the friendly rivalry that was "Barbenheimer" (or "the only fun thing to happen in 2023"), but in the Oscar race, Oppenheimer has pulled well ahead. Oscar night might be the tie-breaker, after we see how many awards each film actually takes home.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Editing, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound

Where to watch: Peacock


Poor Things

Nominations: 11

A shockingly good showing for a movie that's been at the center of discourse (alongside Saltburn) about movies being too dirty for the delicate sensibilities of American viewers. Well done.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Supporting Actor (Mark Ruffalo), Best Director (Yorgos Lanthimos), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Editing, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Where to watch: Coming to Hulu March 7


Killers of the Flower Moon

Nominations: 10

In addition the film's various other achievements, Killers of the Flower Moon has earned Martin Scorsese his 10th Directing nomination—the most of any living director and the second most ever (behind William Wyler, with 12) in Oscar history. Also: Lily Gladstone is the first Indigenous American to ever earn a nomination.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Actress (Lily Gladstone) Best Supporting Actor (Robert De Niro), Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Original Song ("Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)"), Best Editing, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design

Where to stream: Apple TV+


Barbie

Nominations: 8

The year's top-grossing film, and the one that most activated the cultural zeitgeist, apparently directed itself, as the old Billy Crystal joke goes: The Academy couldn't see fit to nominate Greta Gerwig for her achievement in transforming what could've been a mere IP cash grab into a phenomenon. Margot Robbie's lead actress snub also hurts, especially considering Ryan "Just Ken" Gosling made the cut [shakes fist at the patriarchy]. Still, eight nominations is pretty good for a movie based on a toy.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (America Ferrera), Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song ("I'm Just Ken") AND Best Original Song ("What Was I Made For?"), Best Production Design, Best Costume Design

Where to watch: Max


Maestro

Nominations: 7

Reactions to Maestro have ranged from rapturous to meh to worse, but it appears that the Academy (traditionally fans of the prosthetic nose) was into it.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Actress (Carey Mulligan), Best Actor (Bradley Cooper), Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound,

Where to watch: Netflix


American Fiction

Nominations: 5

Writer-director Cord Jefferson's comedy-drama about a frustrated Black novelist (Jeffrey Wright) who writes a pandering stereotypical novel about Black Americans living the thug life only to see it taken seriously, is getting some surprising, but deserved, Oscar love. The nod for This Is Us's Sterling K. Brown, playing Wright's gay brother, is especially welcome, underlining the film's message that stories about the Black American experience can and should encompass a lot more than poverty and inner city gang life.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Actor (Jeffrey Wright), Best Supporting Actor (Sterling K. Brown), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score

Where to watch: In theaters, or purchase digitally ($19.99)

The Holdovers

Nominations: 5

"Academy Award Nominee Da'Vine Joy Randolph" has a nice ring to it, and Paul Giamatti might finally win the Oscar he should've for Sideways 20 years ago, but pour one out for director Alexander Payne, who perfectly aped the '70s milieu of Hal Ashby.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Actor (Paul Giamatti), Best Supporting Actress (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing,

Anatomy of a Fall

Nominations: 4

Buzz for this Cannes winner has been building all year about, particularly for Sandra Hüller's lead performance. In a year with multiple significant films directed by women (Saltburn, Past Lives, Priscilla, and, of course, Cocaine Bear), Justine Triet becomes the eighth woman in Oscar history to earn a directing nomination for this chilly, process-y, psychologically complex story of a French court case.

Nominations for: Best Actress (Sandra Hüller), Best Director (Justine Triet), Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing,

Where to watch: Digital rental ($5.99)


The Zone of Interest

Nominations: 4

Jonathan Glazer's unsual Holocaust-era drama—set on the idyllic estate of a German officer living on the outskirts of a concentration camp, but while never sets foot inside the camp itself—is nominated both in Best International Feature and Best Picture, and it's probably a good bet for the former if not the latter. Glazer earned a somewhat surprising directing nod for infusing the narrative with a palpable sense of detached dread.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Director (Jonathan Glazer), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound, Best International Feature

Where to watch: Digital purchase ($19.99)


Napoleon

Nominations: 3

Ridley Scott's historical epic got a mixed reception and didn't do much at the box office, but the Academy still showed it some love. Maybe the four-hour director's cut, coming eventually to Apple TV+, will earn more eyeballs.

Nominations for: Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects

Where to watch: Premiering on Apple TV+ March 1, or as a digital rental ($19.99)


The Creator

Nominations: 2

In a year light for prestige science fiction, The Creator grabbed a couple of technical nominations. The story of an AI child who might be the key to ending the way between humans and machines, it makes a lot of well-worn tropes look really good.

Nominations for: Best Sound, Best Visual Effects

Where to watch: Hulu


Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning, Part One

Nominations: 2

And the award for the most awkward title goes to... (Guess the Academy didn't get the memo that "Part One" has been dropped from the name.)

Nominations for: Best Sound, Best Visual Effects

Where to watch: Paramount+


Nyad

Nominations: 2

A welcome, and not entirely surprising, pair of acting nominees for the swimming drama. Will Jodie Foster win her third Oscar? Will Annette Benning finally win her first? (In both cases, probably not.)

Nominations for: Best Actress (Annette Benning), Best Supporting Actress (Jodie Foster)

Where to watch: Netflix


Past Lives

Nominations: 2

Director Celine Song and lead Greta Lee? ROBBED. But this quiet romantic drama examining the pain of looking down the path not taken still managed to grab two major nods.

Nominations for: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay

Where to watch: Paramount+ With Showtime


Society of the Snow

Nominations: 2

The 1972 Andean flight disaster was previously the subject of 1993's Alive, but this version actually includes Uruguayan and Argentine actors in the leads (sorry Ethan Hawke).

Nomination for: Best International Feature, Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Where to watch: Netflix


American Symphony

Nominations: 1

This doc about Jon Baptiste's attempts to write a symphony as his wife, Suleika Jaouad, undergoes cancer treatment was expected to earn a Best Documentary Feature nomination, but came away with only Best Original Song.

Nomination for: Best Original Song ("It Never Went Away")

Where to watch: Netflix


Bobi Wine: The People's President

Nominations: 1

The documentary follows musician Wine and his pro-democracy campaign for the presidency of Uganda.

Nomination for: Best Documentary Feature

Where to watch: Disney+


The Boy and the Heron

Nominations: 1

Hayao Miyazaki has still got it, and if this indeed turns out to be his final film, it's a fitting swan song. (A pity Joe Hisaishi's music missed, though—did John Williams really need to be recognized for the 54th time for his fifth Indiana Jones score?).

Nomination for: Best Animated Feature

Where to watch: In theaters for now, but likely eventually joining the rest of the Studio Ghibli films on Max


The Color Purple

Nominations: 1

Early buzz saw the adaptation of the Broad musical The Color Purple as a major awards-season contender, but, for whatever reason, it seems to have fallen out of the zeitgeist. Still, congratulations to Danielle Brooks.

Nomination for: Best Supporting Actress (Danielle Books)

Where to watch: Max


El Conde

Nominations: 1

This dark comedy from Chile (about a vampire Augusto Pinochet) looks like no other movie out this year.

Nomination for: Best Cinematography

Where to watch: Netflix


Elemental

Nominations: 1

Critics shrugged off Pixar's latest, which initially fizzled (fire joke) at the box office before melting the hearts (water joke) of audiences worldwide. The immigrant allegory wound up legging it to $500 million and beating out the mega-hot The Super Mario Bros. Movie for an Oscar nomination.

Nomination for: Best Animated Feature

Where to watch: Disney+


The Eternal Memory

Nominations: 1

The poignant documentary follows a couple, Augusto and Paulina, as they navigate his progressive Alzheimer's.

Nomination for: Best Documentary Feature

Where to watch: Paramount+


Flamin' Hot

Nominations: 1

If a movie about Barbie can get Oscar love, why not a movie about Cheetos? Also, can we finally give Diane Warren an Oscar already?

Nomination for: Best Original Song ("The Fire Inside")

Where to watch: Disney+, Hulu


Four Daughters

Nominations: 1

This unique documentary uses artifice to explore the life of a Tunisian woman named Olfa in the aftermath of the disappearance of her two daughters, as director Kaouther Ben Hania brings in actresses to take on the roles of the missing women in Olfa's life.

Nomination for: Best Documentary Feature

Where to watch: Digital rental ($3.99)


Godzilla Minus One

Nominations: 1

This movie deserved a Best Picture nomination. It deserved to win for Best Visual Effects if only for matching the best Hollywood can offer, but on a paltry sub-$15 million budget.

Nomination for: Best Visual Effects

Where to watch: In theaters for now


Golda

Nominations: 1

This Helen Mirren-starring biopic of the titular Israeli leader came and went without anyone much noticing...except for the prosthetic makeup that transformed the actress's appearance.

Nomination for: Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Where to watch: Paramount+, Showtime


Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Nominations: 1

A Marvel movie nominated for its visual effects? Sure, why not?

Nomination for: Best Visual Effects

Where to watch: Disney+


Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Nominations: 1

The final(?) outing for Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones picks up a tiny bit of Oscar love with its Best Score nomination, the billionth (or 54th) for John Williams.

Nomination for: Best Original Score

Where to watch: Disney+


Io Capitano

Nominations: 1

The Italian nominee for Best International Picture isn't currently in theaters, nor is it streaming anywhere. Hopefully that'll change in the wake of the nomination.

Nomination for: Best International Picture

Where to watch: TBD


May December

Nominations: 1

Todd Haynes' latest, starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore and loosely based on the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal, picks up one well-deserved nomination. But no Charles Melton? No Natalie Portman? No Julianne Moore? C'mon.

Nomination for: Best Original Screenplay

Where to watch: Netflix


Nimona

Nominations: 1

Certain people got mad about the queer rep on display, but if you aren't a bigot, this adaptation of the ND Stevenson graphic novel is 100% delightful.

Nomination for: Best Animated Feature

Where to watch: Netflix


Perfect Days

Nominations: 1

The latest from Wim Wenders, a lo-fi Japanese/German co-production about a businessman (Koji Yakusho) who decides to embrace the simple life of a toilet cleaner, has yet to even open in U.S. theaters.

Nomination for: Best International Feature

Where to watch: In theaters now


Robot Dreams

Nominations: 1

This largely dialogue-free feature about a dog and his pet robot is both beautiful and impossibly moving. It's not currently showing anywhere, so add it to your watchlist—it's well worth following up on once it hits streaming.

Nomination for: Best Animated Feature

Where to watch: In theaters March 6


Rustin

Nominations: 1

This biopic about civil rights activist Bayard Rustin got only one (well-deserved) nomination, for lead actor Colman Domingo.

Nomination for: Best Actor (Colman Domingo)

Where to watch: Netflix


Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Nominations: 1

While the live-action superhero genre grows increasingly dull, there's still plenty of heart and innovation to be found over in the Spider-verse. While it faces stiff competition from The Boy and the Heron (especially consdiering voters may be miffed it only tells half a story), there's no discounting the love out there for this followup to the 2018 Best Animated Feature-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.

Nomination for: Best Animated Feature

Where to watch: Netflix


The Teachers' Lounge

Nominations: 1

The German Best International Picture nominee isn't in theaters currently, nor is it streaming.

Nomination for: Best International Feature

Where to watch: In theaters now


To Kill a Tiger

Nominations: 1

The film follows Ranjit, searching for justice in the wake of his daughter's brutal gang rape. It's not currently showing anywhere.

Nomination for: Best Documentary Feature

Where to watch: TBD


20 Days in Mariupol

Nominations: 1

The timely doc finds a team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the titular city as they attempt to chronicle the ongoing war.

Nomination for: Best Documentary Feature

Where to watch: Digital rental ($2.99)
