Awards season is officially in its main-character era — and if you’re anything like us, your group chat is already debating predictions, red carpet looks, and who absolutely deserves that gold statue. Before Hollywood’s biggest night, it’s time to catch up on every Best Picture nominee so you can watch the ceremony feeling informed, opinionated, and just a little bit smug (in the nicest way possible, of course).
With so many incredible films competing for the 98th Academy Award for Best Picture, we’ve rounded up where you can stream them all right now!
Sinners
This genre-blending sensation from Ryan Coogler is the movie everyone’s been talking about with 16 Oscar nominations — the most for any film since the Academy began handing out the coveted awards in 1929. With Michael B. Jordan pulling double duty and a story that mixes music, horror, and heart, Sinners is the kind of cinematic experience that practically demands a cozy, lights-off viewing party. Bonus points if your watch party includes a moody playlist and elevated cocktails.
Stream it on: HBO Max (also available to rent on Apple TV & Prime Video)
F1
Guillermo del Toro’s reimagining of the classic tale is gothic, gorgeous, and emotionally layered. Starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi in an Oscar-nominated turn for Best Supporting Actor as the monster — It’s moody in the best way. Think candlelight vibes and a dramatic oversized sweater while you watch.

Hamnet
If you’re craving something heartfelt and beautifully acted, Hamnet is your tear-jerker of the season. This emotionally rich historical drama about Shakespeare’s family has been one of the awards season’s emotional standouts.
