This awards season has given us the best chance in recent memory to catch everything that could be considered a contender. But maybe once the Academy Awards nominations dropped, you realized you’d overlooked a major player—or that a completionist instinct that you didn’t know existed was yearning to check those last few boxes.
To help those interested in being as prepared as possible to play along at home, those watching everything over the past year (and change) deemed nomination-worthy or those simply looking to hustle the other participants in their Oscars pool, we’ve rounded up every nominee and where to watch them. You’ll also find links to our coverage of these films, which includes a majority of nominees.
Almost all these feature films are available to stream, either on a subscription service or by rental. Makes sense, considering how we watched 99.9% of movies this year. And as for that .1%…well, Sonic didn’t get any Oscar nods. The only one that isn’t, Judas and the Black Messiah, was previously on HBO Max. Unfortunately if you missed its streaming window, it won’t be out on VOD until later this year.
As for the short films, which are notoriously fickle in their availability, many are currently on YouTube, Vimeo or other services. Those that aren’t (either still on the festival circuit or never intended for popular distribution) have a note and a trailer included so you can at least get a glimpse at what they offer.
