Where and how to watch this year’s Oscar-nominated adaptations

If you’re anything like me, the annual Academy Award nominations announcement marks Day 1 in my effort to catch up on all the year’s biggest movies. I get roughly six weeks each year to cram as many movies into my evenings as possible. 

On the one hand, it’s easier now more than ever to be able to track down and watch these films before the statuettes are handed out. Heck, you can even find short films these days thanks to the prevalence of streaming. Gone are the days of relying on theaters and Blockbuster (RIP). 

At the same time, it can be really hard to sort through the noise of what seems like dozens of streaming and other digital options to find what you’re looking for. We’re here to give you a hand. Looking to watch one of this year’s nominated adaptations? We got you. 

Please note, streaming availability changes frequently.
