Where can you watch the rest of the Oscar nominees?
If you want to catch up with the rest of the Oscar Best Picture nominees before March 10 rolls around, here are thebest streaming serviceswhere you can find a few of our favorites right now.
American Fictionis one of our top picks in this year’s line-up of Best Picture nominees. It follows the story of a frustrated writer and professor who writes a harsh satire of stereotypically “Black” fiction. However, the stereotypes he creates end up being taken seriously and highly praised. You can currently buyAmerican Fictionon Prime Video and Apple TV Plus in the US and stream it on Prime Video in Australia. Sorry UK viewers, you can’t get your hands on it yet.
Barbieis currently streaming on Max in the US and you can rent or buy it elsewhere on Prime Video. Although the Golden Globes snubbed Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, it was an incredibly fun movie that sneaked in some smart, barbed observations about our patriarchal culture amongst its entertaining adventure.
You’ll findKillers of the Flower Moonon Apple TV Plus. This epic tale from Martin Scorsese follows the story of the brutal murders of Osage Nation members and the subsequent cover-up in a dark and violent movie that’s western-meets-crime drama.
