On Monday morning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed the nominees for the 2021 Oscars. There were tons of surprises, some welcome and some less so, but one of the best things about this year’s Academy Awards is that you can watch almost every Oscar-nominated film online before the show begins. Even better, dozens of the movies are available free on streaming services, so as long as you have the right subscriptions (or free trials), you can spend the next month catching up on all the award-worthy 2020 flicks.
To make it easier for you, we’ve collected every Oscar nominee available for free on a streaming service below.
