The 2024 Oscar nominations are out and many of the movies up for an Academy Award on March 10 are already streaming. Here’s our guide to which streaming services have which nominated movies.
Some films, like “The Boy and the Heron” are still playing exclusively in theaters and others are available to rent online ahead of their streaming release.
Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan’s biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer is nominated for 13 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt). It’s also out on DVD and Blu-Ray, if you can find a copy for yourself, that is, since it’s been one of the best-selling movies on physical media in years.
The movie began streaming exclusively on Peacock on Feb. 16. It’s also available to rent on VOD on several platforms.
Poor Things
This out-there film, which reteams “The Favourite” star Emma Stone with director Yorgos Lanthimos, is the second most-nominated film with 11 nods: It’s in contention for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Stone) and Best Supporting Actor (Mark Ruffalo). TheWrap’s reviewer called it a “burlesque of guts, gore and delight” after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

Killers of the Flower Moon
Martin Scorsese’s three-hour epic is up for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Lily Gladstone) and Best Supporting Actor (Robert De Niro). However, Leonardo DiCaprio did not make the cut this time in the Best Actor category.
It’s now streaming on Apple TV+.
Barbie
This box office hit has been nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling) and Best Supporting Actress (America Ferrara).
