Where to Watch the 2024 Oscar Nominees
One of the toughest parts of any awards season is actually tracking down the movies so, just for you, we collected where to watch all the 2024 Oscar nominees. Whether you’re venturing out to the theater, browsing the streaming services, or simply parking yourself in front of Vimeo waiting for some of the more obscure short films to actually reveal themselves to people who aren’t on the actual Academy Awards shortlist committee, we’ve got you covered on how to fill all your blind spots for this year’s awards hopefuls. The completionist in us all is activated by awards season, and Paste is here to help.
Use our list (and our linked reviews) to brush up on what you missed, so that you can win your office’s Oscar pool or absolutely body your friends as you keep track of your predictions during your watch-along. Most of these movies are able to be seen from your couch, while a select few are still playing on the big screen. Even fewer are playing the game hard, only putting forth qualifying runs that no actual movie audience member got to see. But hey, most of these are still watchable right now — a few are actually embedded here in this article! We love to see it, 20 Days in Mariupol.
