Awards season always seems to arrive faster than we expect. One minute, the nominations are announced, and, the next, we’re realizing there are still several Oscar-nominated movies we haven’t seen yet.

The upside this year is simple: many of the biggest Academy Award contenders are already available to stream at home, thanks to how quickly Oscar movies and streaming services now overlap during awards season.

If you’re wondering where to watch Oscar movies without hopping between theater listings, this is your cheat sheet.

Oscar-Nominated Movies You Can Watch at Home Right Now

Instead of bouncing between trailers, award chatter, and half-opened apps, here’s the simple version.

Why So Many Oscar Movies Are Already Streaming

The gap between theatrical releases and streaming has narrowed dramatically. 

Studios are now pushing Oscar movies for streaming earlier in the season to build momentum, keep the conversation going, and make sure voters and audiences are watching at the same time.

This shift also makes awards season more accessible for us. 

Instead of scheduling theater trips, we can work through Academy Award nominees now streaming on a few major platforms right from our homes.

How to Catch Up Without Turning It Into Homework

If your time is limited, start with the movies showing up across multiple major categories. Sinners, One Battle After Another, and Frankenstein are topping this year’s conversations and will give you the clearest sense of the field.

From there, animated films, international nominees, and genre picks can add a little variety. Watching Oscar nominees at home works best when you pace it and mix genres instead of stacking similar films back to back.

Our Couches Just Became Awards-Season Central

We don’t need a packed theater schedule to stay in the loop this year. With Oscar-nominated movies streaming across Netflix, Max, Disney+, and Apple TV, catching up is finally realistic.

Whether you’re tracking the likely winners or just looking for some great films, this year’s nominees are already lined up and waiting at home.
