The nominees for the 95th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday morning, with “Everything Everywhere All At Once” leading with 11 nods including Best Picture. The genre-bending sci-fi film was followed closely by “All Quiet on the Western Front,” a World War I epic, and “Banshees of Inisherin,” a dark comedy about friendship and loneliness set in a desolate Irish town, both of which earned nine nominations each.
While many of the leading films saw success in the box office this year (most notably, “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Top Gun: Maverick”), it was also the first year that many of the top awards contenders went straight to streamers shortly after their theatrical debuts.
Luckily, that means you can easily watch a large majority of the 37 Oscar-nominated feature films online before tuning into the Oscars on March 12.
See how to stream all the nominated feature films below:
-
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Lead Actress (Michelle Yeoh), Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan), Supporting Actress (Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis), Director, Costume Design, Original Score, Original Song, Original Screenplay, Film Editing and Best Picture
Where to Stream: Hulu, Showtime and Prime Video
Variety‘s Review: “True to their brand, the Daniels have made a film that reflects their off-the-wall sense of humor (their second feature, “The Death of Dick Long,” focused on a man who hooked up with a horse), blasting us with electric-shock paddles, rather than spoon-feeding anything for easy comprehension.”
-
Triangle of Sadness
Image Credit: Courtesy Image Oscar Nominations: Original Screenplay, Director, Best Picture
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet. Available to rent ($5.99) or purchase ($19.99) on Prime Video and Apple TV.
Variety‘s Review: “The thing about Östlund is that he makes you laugh, but he also makes you think. There’s a meticulous precision to the way he constructs, blocks and executes scenes — a kind of agonizing unease, amplified by awkward silences or an unwelcome fly buzzing between characters struggling to communicate.”
-
Tár
Image Credit: ©Focus Features/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Original Screenplay, Cinematography Film Editing, Lead Actress, Director, Best Picture
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet. Available to rent ($5.99) or buy ($19.99) on Prime Video and Apple TV. It will stream on Peacock starting Jan. 27
Variety‘s Review: “But ‘Tár,’ the first film he has made in 16 years, takes Todd Field to a new level. The movie is breathtaking — in its drama, its high-crafted innovation, its vision. It’s a ruthless but intimate tale of art, lust, obsession, and power.”
-
The Fabelmans
Image Credit: ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Supporting Actor (Judd Hirsch), Original Score, Original Screenplay, Production Design, Lead Actress (Michelle Williams) Director (Steven Spielberg), Best Picture
Where to Stream: Not streaming yet. Available to purchase on Prime Video, Vudu and Google Play Movie for $19.99.
Variety‘s Review: “At the spry young age of 75, Spielberg himself weighs in on where his preoccupations come from in ‘The Fabelmans,’ a personal account of his upbringing that feels like listening to two and a half hours’ worth of well-polished cocktail-party anecdotes, only better, since he’s gone to the trouble of staging them all for our benefit,” writes Variety film critic Peter Debruge in his review. “Spielberg’s a born storyteller, and these are arguably his most precious stories.”
-
Women Talking
Image Credit: Michael Gibson Oscar Nominations: Adapted Screenplay, Best Picture
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “There’s no denying that ‘Women Talking’ is unlike any film you’ve seen before, which is exactly what you’d want from the director of 2012’s astonishingly personal, format-shattering meta-documentary “Stories We Tell.” A decade later, Polley is back with another bold thought experiment, this one inspired by a horrific conspiracy of sexual abuse discovered within a Mennonite community about a decade ago.”
-
The Banshees of Inisherin
Image Credit: ©Searchlight Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Actor (Colin Farrell), Supporting Actor (Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan), Supporting Actress (Kerry Condon), Original Score, Editing, Original Screenplay, Director, Best Picture
Where to Stream: HBO Max
Variety’s Review: “If substantial platonic relationship studies are rare, ones about men are rarer still. And if that comes down to a social convention rather than a cinematic one, that’s integral to the power and poignancy of Martin McDonagh’s searing ‘The Banshees of Inisherin.’ Its high, unleashed emotions are all the more startling in a world where men don’t speak their feelings.”
-
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Best Animated Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet. Available to rent ($5.99) or buy ($19.99) on Prime Video or Apple TV.
Variety‘s review: “Keep in mind, these characters are just about as rudimentary as it gets in animation: one eye, no limbs, a teeny CG mouth, and that’s it. So it’s no small feat that Slate and Rossellini are able to make us feel for them. And yet, feel for them we do, which is a kind of statement unto itself: By playing on the clichés of “reality” and nonfiction filmmaking — including but not limited to low-saturation, Instagram-filtered lensing and a light, sinus-tickling score — they’re able to elicit many of the same reactions you’d expect from a live-action drama.”
-
The Whale
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Supporting Actress (Hong Chau), Actor (Brendan Fraser), Makeup and Hairstyling
Where to Stream: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “‘The Whale,’ while it has a captivating character at its center, turns out to be equal parts sincerity and hokum. The movie carries us along, tethering the audience to Fraser’s intensely lived-in and touching performance…”
-
Top Gun: Maverick
Image Credit: Courtesy of Paramount Pictures / Scott Garfield Oscar Nominations: Sound, Adapted Screenplay, Film Editing, Original Song, Visual Effects, Best Picture
Where to Watch: Paramount+
Variety‘s Review: “If the flying scenes here blow your mind, it’s because a great many of them are the real deal, putting audiences right there in the cockpit alongside a cast who learned to pilot for their parts.”
-
Living
Oscar Nominations: Adapted Screenplay, Lead Actor (Bill Nighy)
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s review: “With no samurai battles or set-pieces, the low-key contemporary melodrama raises profound questions about how we choose to spend the limited time we’re afforded, focusing on a stoic functionary about whom even the narrator apologizes, ‘He might as well be a corpse.'”
-
To Leslie
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Lead Actress (Andrea Riseborough)
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet. Available to rent ($6.99) or buy ($9.99) on Prime Video and Apple TV.
Variety‘s Review: “In ‘To Leslie,’ Andrea Riseborough plays a small-town West Texas single mother who’s a total desperate been-around-the-bend basket case, the kind of alcoholic who has messed up her life so badly that she’s got nothing left. Riseborough’s performance is nothing short of spectacular. She doesn’t compromise, she doesn’t hold back, but she doesn’t endow the character with any sort of fake flamboyance.”
-
Elvis
Image Credit: Warner Bros. Oscar Nominations: Lead Actor (Austin Butler), Costume Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Sound, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Best Picture
Where to Stream: HBO Max
Variety‘s Review: “Yet ‘Elvis,’ for all its Luhrmannian fireworks, is a strange movie — compelling but not always convincing, at once sweeping and scattershot, with a central figure whose life, for a long stretch, feels like it’s being not so much dramatized as illustrated.”
-
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Oscar Nominations: Supporting Actress (Angela Bassett), Costume Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Song (“Lift Me Up”), Visual Effects
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet, but the film will arrive on Disney+ Feb. 1.
Variety‘s review: “The heroes of ‘Wakanda Forever’ are fighting for their lives, their nation, their fallen king, and the movie lets us touch the ruthlessness of their devotion. They fill the void, all right, and so does Ryan Coogler as a Marvel storyteller. T’Challa is gone, but somewhere he is smiling.”
-
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
Image Credit: Dávid Lukács Oscar Nominations: Costume Design
Where to Watch: Available to rent ($5.99) or buy ($19.99) on Prime Video.
Variety‘s Review: “The movie wouldn’t have been possible without Dior’s buy-in, which could explain scenes in which dresses are over-ripely described as a ‘poem’ or a ‘moonbeam.'”
-
Turning Red
Image Credit: Pixar Oscars Nominated: Animated Feature Film
Where to Watch: Disney+
Variety‘s Review: “Irresistibly cute and thoroughly unashamed of its own silliness, “Turning Red” may be second-tier Pixar, but the emotions run every bit as deep as in the studio’s best.”
-
All Quiet on the Western Front
Image Credit: Reiner Bajo Oscar Nominations: Makeup and Hairstyling, Original Score, Sound, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, International Feature Film, Production Design, Visual Effects, Best Picture
Where to Stream: Netflix
Variety‘s Review: “A harrowing, gruesome, morbid tale of war, so compelling in its realism, bigness and repulsiveness that Universal’s ‘Western Front’ becomes at once a money picture. For this is a war and what Shermann said goes double here. Nothing passed up for the niceties; nothing glossed over for the women. Here exhibited is a war as it is, butchery.”
-
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Image Credit: ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Animated Feature Film
Where to Watch: Netflix
Variety‘s Review: “It’s a vivid, lavish stroke of weirdness, better seen than described. ‘Pinocchio’ always has been.”
-
Blonde
Image Credit: ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Lead Actress (Ana de Armas)
Where to Watch: Netflix
Variety‘s Review: “’Blonde,’ flaws and all, reveals how the myth of Marilyn Monroe was built on top of who she was inside — a trauma of need so intense that she transformed herself into the greatest image of the power of beauty in the 20th century. The film leaves us with just how haunting it is that where the world saw a goddess, she saw no there there.
-
Babylon
Image Credit: ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Production Design, Costume Design, Original Score
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “Judging by the bizarro finale, ‘Babylon’ presents itself as the apotheosis of all that has come before, the ne plus ultra of the medium’s own potential, and indeed, it’s an experience that won’t be easily topped, in this or any year. But that doesn’t make it great or even particularly coherent.”
-
Aftersun
Image Credit: A24 Oscar Nominations: Lead Actor (Paul Mescal)
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet. Available to rent ($4.99) or buy ($19.99) on Prime Video and Apple TV.
Variety‘s Review: “Ambitiously and poignantly, ‘Aftersun’ explores the oddly intimate chasm between parent and child, the latter forever playing catch-up to the former’s inner life, except on the brief occasions — like, say, a summer vacation — when they can both be children for a moment.”
-
RRR
Image Credit: Variance Films Oscar Nominations: Original Song (“Naatu Naatu”)
Where to Watch: Netflix
Variety‘s Review: “Straight out of Tollywood: ‘RRR,’ a bigger-than-life and bolder-than-mainstream action-adventure epic, is performing mightily in international release as audiences marvel at its spectacle, embrace its emotions, and sway to its music while being repeatedly gobsmacked by its unfettered audacity.”
-
EO
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: International Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “Named for the animal it follows from owner to owner, through various hardships and across national borders, ‘EO’ is a damning polemic on our relationship to other intelligent species — as free labor, food and companions — as seen through the dewy, wide eyes of a donkey whom we come to adore.”
-
All That Breathes
Image Credit: Cinetic Oscar Nominations: Documentary Feature Film
Where to Watch: HBO Max
Variety‘s Review: “With a tone more melancholic and charming than one might expect given the various crises at play here, Sen’s deceptively casual observational documentary prefers dwelling on resistance and resilience to pronouncements of doom.”
-
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed
Oscar Nominations: Documentary Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “What’s profound, and incendiary, about ‘All the Beauty and the Bloodshed’ is the way that Laura Poitras excavates the story of how deeply Nan Goldin’s photographs are rooted in trauma.”
-
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Image Credit: ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Adapted Screenplay
Where to Watch: Netflix
Variety‘s Review: “’Glass Onion’ is one of those films — intelligent and meticulous in its planning, smart and funny in its delivery. It’s a hugely enjoyable ride that never loses its edge. Rian also has such an unbridled confidence about him. His structures and arcs are so well thought out that it’s impossible to find fault them.”
-
A House Made of Splinters
Image Credit: Courtesy: Cinetic Media Oscar Nominations: Documentary Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “’A House Made of Splinters’ indulges in passages of visual poetry — light dancing on enraptured faces, two children’s silhouettes tracing the patterns on a backlit voile curtain — that feel earned, granting breathing space and beauty to an environment that needs them most.’
-
Fire of Love
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Documentary Feature Film
Where to Watch: Disney+
Variety‘s Review: “The Kraffts got as close as possible to the danger and spectacle of these seismic tectonic eruptions from the depths of the earth. They stood right next to gleaming rivers of lava, to massive showers of hot rocks, and recorded it all, leaving a filmed and photographic record of volcanic activity that remains unparalleled.”
-
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Image Credit: DreamWorks Animation Oscar Nominations: Animated Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet. Available to purchase ($24.99) on Prime Video.
Variety’s Review: “By forcing Puss to contemplate his priorities, the sequel more than justifies its own existence, while paving the way for how his path meets the big green guy’s.”
-
Navalny
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Documentary Feature Film
Where to Watch: HBO Max
Variety‘s Review: “‘Navalny’ is a must-watch documentary that tells the inspiring, scary, and profoundly important story of Alexei Navalny, the vitally popular Russian opposition leader who, as a presidential candidate, became such a threat to Vladimir Putin that the Kremlin tried to poison him.”
-
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Image Credit: APPLE TV PLUS Oscar Nominations: Animated Short Film
Where to Watch: Apple TV+
Based on the bestselling book of the same name by Charlie Mackesy, the film stars the voice talents of Idris Elba, Tom Hollander, Gabriel Byrne and Jude Coward Nicoll.
-
Avatar: The Way of Water
Image Credit: ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Production Design, Visual Effects, Sound, Best Picture
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “‘The Way of Water’ is braided with sequences that exist almost solely for their sculptured imagistic magic. It’s truly a movie crossed with a virtual-reality theme-park ride. Another way to put it is that it’s a live-action film that casts the spell of an animated fantasy.”
-
The Sea Beast
Image Credit: Netflix 2022 Oscar Nominations: Animated Feature Film
Where to Watch: Netflix
Variety’s Review: “In the end, ‘The Sea Beast’ is a movie about challenging conventional wisdom and figuring things out for yourself, and that’s a philosophy that worked on both sides of the camera.”
-
Tell It Like a Woman

Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
-
The Batman
Oscar Nominations: Visual Effects, Sound, Makeup and Hairstyling
Where to Watch: Prime Video and HBO Max.
Variety‘s Review: “In ways far more unsettling than most audiences might expect, ‘The Batman’ channels the fears and frustrations of our current political climate, presenting a meaty, full-course crime saga that blends elements of the classic gangster film with cutting-edge commentary about challenges facing the modern world.”
-
Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths
Image Credit: Netflix Oscar Nominations: Cinematography
Where to Watch: Netflix
Variety‘s Review: “’Bardo’ has a spatial luminosity and flow to it that Fellini might envy. It’s trying for something one is intensely sympathetic to — a portrait of our collective lost faith, even among those who have tried to do the right thing.”
-
The Quiet Girl
Image Credit: Courtesy of Inscéal Oscar Nominations: International Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “Though you can foretell the way the story must end right from the moment Seán bids Cáit a curt goodnight without even turning his head from the TV, the cumulative power of “The Quiet Girl” means that when that ending duly comes, it’s remarkably moving. For all the things that can be lost in the quiet, sometimes people can find each other there.”
-
Empire of Light
Image Credit: ©Searchlight Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Best Cinematography
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “Can a century-old movie palace insulate people from the world? Not really, but it can certainly bring them together — as music can, too, suggests Mendes, making a case for ska. (The film might just as easily have taken place at a record store or a nightclub, though there’s something meta-glorious about watching Colman watch a movie after a long stretch in which theaters were dark.”
-
Close
Image Credit: Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: International Feature Film
Where to Watch: Not streaming yet.
Variety‘s Review: “This beautifully evocative film, which hails from an openly queer director, offers as pure a portrait of innocent, innocuous same-sex affection as we’ve ever encountered on film. And then it becomes something incredibly, unwelcomely different.”
-
Causeway
Image Credit: ©Apple TV/Courtesy Everett Collection Oscar Nominations: Best Supporting Actor (Brian Tyree Henry)
Where to Watch: Apple TV+
Variety’s Review: “By the end, the film delivers you to a place that feels real. But we have to travel through a zone of fairly arid desolation to get there. That’s been a hallmark of some indie cinema, but it’s one that fewer and fewer moviegoers may now want to walk through.”
