It’s time to fire up your Letterboxd, roller-skate out of the real world, and head off to movie land. After a year of dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, a pink-and-black double-feature phenomenon, and some truly great films from auteur directors, the 2024 Oscar winners have been officially crowned, giving you a perfect watchlist for catching up on all the films you missed. The good news, depending on who you ask, is that most of the winners are available to stream — from Poor Things, to Barbie, to Oppenheimer, the king of the 2024 Oscars. You have options!
And we’re here to help you sort through them. In the list below, we’ve prioritized the Oscar winners up top, with the additional nominated films split into a few categories. Without further ado, here’s how to watch and stream all the 2024 Oscar winners and nominees.
Oscar Winning Movies Streaming
American Fiction
Winner of Best Adapted Screenplay and nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Jeffrey Wright), Best Supporting Actor (Sterling K. Brown), and Best Original Score
Academy voters seemed to be as smitten with American Fiction as the book publishers were smitten with My Pafology in American Fiction. Along with a top prize nom for Best Picture, Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K. Brown received recognition in the acting categories while director and writer Cord Jefferson won an Adapted Screenplay award for his first feature film. (Available to stream on MGM+ and to rent on Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play.)
Anatomy of a Fall
Winner of Best Original Screenplay and nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Justine Triet), Best Actress (Sandra Hüller), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing
The legal drama from Neon won the Palme d’Or at 2023 Cannes and is continuing that streak by earning a slot in the Best Picture lineup and a Best Director nom for Justine Triet, making her the only woman nominated in that category this year. (Available to rent on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and YouTube and will be available to stream on Hulu March 22.)
Barbie
Winner of Best Original Song (“What Was I Made Forâ€) and nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling), Best Supporting Actress (America Ferrera), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Original Song (“I’m Just Kenâ€)
Hi, Barbies! The box-office juggernaut of 2023 received a handful of noms (including America Ferrera’s first Oscar nomination) and a win (a second Oscar for Billie Eilish and Finneas). Some may be bummed that Margot Robbie was snubbed for Best Actress, though she is nominated as producer, and that voters didn’t nominate Greta Gerwig for Best Director. A weird choice for sure, but at least she and Noah Baumbach were recognized in Adapted Screenplay. Now, Ryan Gosling may have not gotten the Supporting Actor award but he definitely won our hearts with that insanely fun “I’m Just Ken†number at the Oscars. (Available to stream on Max.)
The Boy and the Heron
Winner of Best Animated Feature Film
Hayao Miyazaki earned his fourth nomination and second win for Best Animated Feature Film. (His earlier film Spirited Away won in 2003.) Now, if only voice acting was a category. (Available in theaters and on Max later this year.)
Godzilla Minus One
Winner of Best Visual Effects
Godzilla’s first Oscar nom (and win!) (Available in theaters.)
The Holdovers
Winner of Best Supporting Actress (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) and nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Paul Giamatti), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing
The Supporting Actress award was absolutely Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s to win, so go see why. (Available to stream on Peacock.)
Oppenheimer
Winner of Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), and nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Production Design, and Best Sound
Despite a different voting body, the Golden Globes was just the beginning of most people realizing that Oppenheimer is the movie to beat this awards season. It has 13 nominations spread healthily among the majority of the awards categories and has the most wins of the night, including the award of the night Best Picture and Christopher Nolan’s first win in Best Director. (Available to stream on Peacock.)
Poor Things
Winner of Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Production Design, and nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Yorgos Lanthimos), Best Supporting Actor (Mark Ruffalo), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Score
There have been comparisons drawn between Poor Things and Barbie, mostly because both films, on the surface, are about women venturing into a world radically new to them. Instead of a doll, Poor Things stars Emma Stone, who won Best Actress, as a dead woman brought back to life with the brain of her unborn child by a brilliant and maybe slightly mad surgeon (Willem Dafoe). It’s an audacious dark comedy from Yorgos Lanthimos that earned him a Best Director nom, and the film itself is the second most-nominated film of the bunch. (Available to stream on Hulu.)
The Zone of Interest
Winner of Best International Feature Film and Best Sound, and nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Jonathan Glazer), and Best Adapted Screenplay
The most dour film on this lineup, The Zone of Interest struck a chord in Academy voters as they awarded Under the Skin director Jonathan Glazer his first Oscar nominations, for Best Director and Adapted Screenplay, for this heavy story about Nazi commander Rudolf Höss and his family’s idyllic home right outside of the horrors of Auschwitz. The film also earned a nomination for Best Sound; if you’ve seen the film, you know why. (Available to purchase on Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play and to stream on Max on April 5.)

Martin Scorsese’s sweeping film earned ten nominations including Best Director, Score, a Supporting Actor nomination for Robert De Niro, and most importantly, a Best Actress nomination for Lily Gladstone, the first Indigenous American woman to receive recognition in that category. It also paves the way for her high-school superlative to come true. (Available to stream on Apple TV+.)

Will Diane Warren get an award for writing a song for a Hot Cheeto movie? Probably not, but it’s fun to say out loud. (Available to stream on Hulu.)
Golda
Nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling
I did not recognize Helen Mirren for a hot second in the Golda trailer, so one can assume the Best Makeup and Hairstyling nod was deserved. (Available to stream on Paramount+.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Nominated for Best Visual Effects
The Guardians of the frickin’ Galaxy have now saved Marvel’s ass twice in the past year: (1) by actually delivering a good movie, and (2) by earning a frickin’ Visual Effects nomination. Quantumania could never. (Available to stream on Disney+.)

Nyad
Nominated for Best Actress (Annette Bening) and Best Supporting Actress (Jodie Foster)
Nyad hasn’t made much noise over awards season, but given that Jodie Foster and Annette Bening nabbed nominations in Supporting Actress and Best Actress, respectively, the Academy was certainly paying attention. (Available to stream on Netflix.)
Robot Dreams
