The Oscars, scheduled to air on Sunday, March 2, are fast approaching—but you still have time to watch many of the nominated films.

You can stream most of them at home, of course, with Best Picture nominees being shown on platforms including Netflix (Emilia Pérez and Dune: Part Two), Amazon (including Wicked, A Complete Unknown, and Anora,), Apple TV (including I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, and The Substance), and Peacock (including Conclave).
