If you’re a film fan, your Super Bowl is just days away. On March 15, the Academy Awards will once again show reverence to all things movies, and you can view the ceremony using a live TV streaming service. This year’s Oscar nominees span many genres, including intimate international dramas and supernatural blockbusters. Here’s how to watch the movies nominated for Best Picture and other popular categories using the top video streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, HBO Max, Hulu, and Netflix.
The Best Video Streaming Services for Watching Oscar-Nominated Movies

In Bugonia, Earth is under attack by hidden aliens led by Emma Stone. Or are all the happenings just a delusion? Find out the truth by streaming Bugonia on Peacock.
