How to Stream All of the 2024 Academy Award Nominees; ‘Oppenheimer,’ ‘Poor Things’ Lead the Way
“Oppenheimer” led all films with 13 nominations, followed by “Poor Things” with 11 and “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10.
Shocks, surprises, and snubs abound as the nominations for the 96th Annual Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday, Jan. 23. Unsurprisingly, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” led the way with 13 nominations and comes into campaigning season as the odds-on favorite to win Best Picture. However, it is followed closely by Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” (11 nominations) and Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” (10 noms). Next up was “Barbie” with eight nominations, but the film suffered glaring omissions as director Greta Gerwig and leading lady Margot Robbie were both snubbed by the Academy; Gerwig was nominated with her writing partner Noah Baumbach in the Adapted Screenplay category.
We run through all of the nominations and let you know where you can stream each and every one. While some of the films are not yet available to stream on subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services, many are available to rent or purchase on video-on-demand hubs like Prime Video or Apple TV. Additionally, as the Academy Awards approach on Sunday, March 10, 2024, additional films have been added to streaming services so that viewers (and voters) have the chance to catch everything from home as conveniently as possible.
