The
Academy Awards
are the biggest celebration of the year in cinema, with Oppenheimer and Poor Things winning the lion’s share of categories. If you haven’t had the chance to catch these films in theaters, here’s where you can stream all of this year’s Oscar winners online.
Oppenheimer Categories:
13 nominations, winner for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was the standout hit of 2023, and it has since received many awards, including an impressive seven Oscar wins out of the 13 categories it was nominated for. If you somehow managed to miss this one, it’s a biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who is considered the “father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project.
Poor Things Categories:
11 nominations, winner for Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things was another big winner at the 2024 Oscars, with a bizarre, genre-defying story helmed by Emma Stone, who took home the Oscar for Best Actress. It tells the story of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman who is brought back to life like Frankenstein’s monster, but with an infant’s brain. She then embarks on a journey of self-discovery filled with wonder, hilarity, debauchery, and some of the most spectacular costumes to ever grace the big screen.
You can stream Poor Things today on Hulu.
Barbie Categories:
Eight nominations, winner for Best Original Song (“What Was I Made For?”)
Barbie might have outperformed Oppenheimer at the box office, but it only managed to take home one of the eight Oscars it was nominated for. Even so, the colorful and fun movie puts a unique spin on the beloved Barbie brand that both fans and haters will enjoy.
Barbie is available to stream now on Max.
The Holdovers Categories:
Five nominations, winner for Best Supporting Actress (Da’Vine Joy Randolph)
Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers is about a teacher at a boarding school (Paul Giamatti) who is forced to chaperone a group of failing students over the Christmas holidays.
You can stream it now on Peacock Premium.
The Zone of Interest Categories:
Five nominations, winner for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound
This German-language historical drama from Jonathan Glazer takes the eeriness of his previous films, including Birth and Under the Skin, and transports it to Nazi Germany.
Unfortunately, The Zone of Interest is not yet available for streaming. Since it’s distributed by A24 it will eventually land on Max, but until then you’ll have to buy or rent it from Prime Video, Apple TV, or YouTube Movies.
The Boy and the Heron Categories:
Winner for Best Animated Feature Film
Hayao Miyazaki’s (probable) final film The Boy and the Heron is a hand-drawn adventure that lives up to other legendary Ghibli films, taking home Best Animated Feature over Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Elemental.
Unfortunately, The Boy and the Heron is not yet available for streaming. It will be available on Max starting in June 2024.
