Oscars 2026 Best Picture Nominees: Which Films Are Streaming?

98th Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees: Streaming Options Ahead of the Ceremony

The highly anticipated 98th Academy Awards have officially announced their nominees, and many of these films can be streamed or rented digitally before the ceremony takes place. While some movies are still playing in theaters, others are exclusively available on premium video-on-demand platforms.

Among the nominees, "Bugonia" by Yorgos Lanthimos starring Emma Stone is available to stream on Peacock, while its PVOD counterpart can be purchased or rented on digital platforms like Apple TV and YouTube Movies & TV. On the other hand, "F1: The Movie" directed by Joseph Kosinski, which stars Brad Pitt, will be streaming on Apple TV with a similar PVOD option.

Other notable films in the running include Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth, which is available to stream on Netflix. In contrast, some movies like "Hamnet" by Chloe Zhao and Josh Safdie's "Marty Supreme" are only playing in theaters.

Additionally, several films have been made available to stream on popular platforms such as HBO Max, including Ryan Coogler's "Sinners," starring Michael B. Jordan, Miles Caton, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo. Kleber MendonΓ§a Filho's "The Secret Agent" is also only available to watch in theaters.

Lastly, fans of drama will appreciate the streaming option for "Train Dreams," directed by Cliff Bentley, which stars Joel Edgerton, Felicity Jones, Clifton Collins Jr., and William H. Macy on Netflix.
 
πŸ€” I'm actually kinda disappointed that some movies like Hamnet aren't even available to stream before the ceremony πŸ“Ί. It's always frustrating when you want to watch a film but it's only in theaters. On the other hand, I do love that there are so many streaming options for films like Bugonia and Frankenstein - it makes it way easier to catch up on them without having to rush out to see them at the theater 🎬. It's also nice to know that some popular dramas like Train Dreams and Sinners are available to stream on Netflix... πŸ‘
 
Wow! 🀯 I'm loving how many options we have to watch some amazing films before the ceremony. Streaming services are really stepping up their game, you feel? πŸ’» Interesting that some movies like "F1: The Movie" and "The Secret Agent" are only available in theaters though... might be hard for people who can't make it to the cinema 🎟️
 
I think it's kinda lame that some movies are only available to stream if you're in a certain country πŸ€”πŸ‘€ like "F1: The Movie" is exclusive to the US or something... doesn't seem right, man πŸ˜’ but then again, I don't really care about these awards and the whole streaming thing can be super annoying, so maybe I'm just being a hater πŸ€‘... wait, no, that's not true! πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ if I think about it, most of these movies are on platforms like Netflix and Apple TV anyway, so what's the big deal? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ maybe it's all just a bunch of marketing hype to get people to buy more stuff... or maybe I'm just overthinking this whole thing πŸ€―πŸ“Ί
 
πŸ€” I gotta say, it's wild that some movies are available to stream before the Oscars even happen πŸŽ₯. It makes me think about how we're always rushing into something without taking a moment to appreciate the journey, you know? Like, we're so caught up in the hype of something big happening that we forget to enjoy the little things along the way.

Anyway, back to these nominees... it's cool that some films are getting a wider release before the ceremony πŸ“Ί. But at the same time, I feel like we're losing out on the experience of seeing movies in theaters with other people, you know? It's like, we're all just sitting alone in our homes watching stuff online, and that's not really living, is it?

But hey, to each their own πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. If streaming is what works for you, then more power to you! Just don't forget to take a moment to appreciate the little things, okay?
 
I'm soooo hyped 🀩 about the 98th Academy Awards! I just checked out some of these movies on streaming platforms πŸ“Ί, and OMG, "Bugonia" 🐜 is giving me LIFE πŸ’–! Emma Stone πŸ‘  is looking fierce in it 🎬. And I'm loving that some of these films are already available to stream ahead of the ceremony πŸŽ‰. It's gonna be a great night for film lovers like us πŸΏπŸ‘. I just hope "Hamnet" 🌹 stays in theaters, I wanna see it on the big screen too πŸ“½οΈ
 
OMG 🀯 I'm so stoked about all these movies being available to stream ahead of the Oscars πŸŽ₯! But, can we talk about how some of these films are still playing in theaters? Like, what's up with that?! πŸ€” I mean, I know some people might want to experience it on the big screen, but others won't be able to see them until they're available online. It's all so confusing πŸ™„. And don't even get me started on the different streaming options... Apple TV, Netflix, Peacock... can you keep track of them all?! πŸ˜‚ Anyway, I'm super excited to watch some of these movies and see who wins Best Picture at the Oscars! Fingers crossed for "Bugonia" 🀞
 
πŸŽ₯ I'm so stoked that we can catch up with all these amazing films before the Oscars ceremony! It's awesome that streaming options are available for some of them, like "Bugonia" on Peacock 🌟. I mean, who doesn't love binge-watching Emma Stone in a quirky drama? And it's cool to see "F1: The Movie" on Apple TV too πŸ’¨ - Brad Pitt fans rejoice! On the other hand, I'm glad that some films like "Hamnet" are still playing in theaters for those who want a cinematic experience 🍿. I've also been eyeing "Sinners" on HBO Max πŸ“Ί, it looks so intense with that talented cast! And can't forget about "The Secret Agent", which is only showing up in theaters - maybe that's just the way it was meant to be seen in all its gritty glory 🎭.
 
omg just saw the 98th academy awards nominees 🀩 been waiting to see what movies are going to win. so many good ones this year like "bugonia" - emma stone is amazing in it 🀳 but also why can't more of them be online? i mean i dont wanna wait till the ceremony to watch them 😩 anyways, apple tv is having a great day with 2 movies and netflix too πŸ’‘ "train dreams" looks soooo good πŸ‘€ gotta get my hands on that. HBO max is also getting in on the action 🀝
 
I'm so over people binge-watching all these movies before the Oscars πŸ™„. It's like, what's the point of even having a ceremony if everyone just watched it online beforehand? I mean, I guess some people are gonna do that anyway... πŸ˜’ Can't they just wait and see who wins in person? It's more fun that way 🎬. And don't even get me started on how some movies are exclusive to streaming platforms – like, what if you're stuck in a rural area and can't get the internet?! 🀯
 
can't believe most movies are only out in theaters atm... like what's the point of even having a premier if you gotta watch it 2 weeks later? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ anyway, i'm stoked "train dreams" is on netflix tho! πŸŽ₯😌
 
the 98th Oscars are going to be lit πŸŽ‰! and it's awesome that some of these movies can be streamed beforehand πŸ“Ί. i mean, who doesn't love watching "bugonia" or "sinners" from the comfort of their own home? but at the same time, it's kinda cool that some of them are only playing in theaters πŸŽ₯. like, if you want to experience "marty supreme" or "hamnet", you gotta shell out the cash and go see 'em live πŸ’Έ. and omg, have you seen the casts for some of these movies? emma stone and brad pitt together on screen is like a dream come true ❀️. can't wait to see who takes home that oscars trophy πŸ†!
 
OMG u guys 🀯 just saw that most of the 98th Oscars fave pics r available 2 stream before the actual ceremony lol what's up w/ movies being exclusive 2 PVOD tho? "Bugonia" & "F1: The Movie" r both on Apple TV w/ digital PVOD, but u gotta pay extra πŸ€‘. And I'm loving that Netflix got some sick fave pics like "Sinners" & "Train Dreams" πŸŽ₯πŸ‘
 
omg i love how they're making all these movies available to stream before the awards 🀩! it's like we get a sneak peek into the best of the best πŸŽ₯. i'm kinda surprised that some of them are only in theaters tho, like hamnet and marty supreme πŸ€”. can't wait to check out bugonia on peacock tho! πŸ’– i hope sinners gets some love on hbo max too, michael b jordan is amazing 🀩
 
I just love how everything's changing with these new-fangled streaming options πŸ“ΊπŸ’». Can't believe I'm old enough to remember watching movies in theaters back in the day! πŸ˜‚ Now, I get to catch up on some of my fave flicks from the comfort of my own home. It's like having a magic box full of movies at my fingertips 🎬. Anyway, it's always exciting to see what's making the cut for the Oscars – I mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story? 🀞
 
πŸ€” I think it's interesting how some movies are available to stream ahead of the Oscars, while others are still playing in theaters 🍿. It seems like Netflix is trying to capitalize on their streaming deal for certain films, which could be a strategic move to gain more views before the ceremony πŸ’Έ. On the other hand, having options for fans who want to watch movies at home can be super convenient πŸ™Œ. I wonder how this will affect box office numbers and whether it'll impact Oscar buzz 🀞. Maybe we'll see some films that would've otherwise gone under the radar get more attention because of their streaming availability πŸ“ˆ?
 
I'm excited that more movies are being made available to stream before the Oscars πŸŽ₯πŸ‘. I think it's a great way for people to get familiar with the nominees without having to shell out cash for movie tickets just yet. But, I do wonder if this is a sign of the shift towards streaming becoming the norm, and we'll soon be watching most movies at home instead of in theaters πŸ€”. On the other hand, I love that some classics are still being shown in theaters, like "Hamnet" - it's always special to experience those on the big screen 😊. Overall, I'm just happy there's more accessibility to these amazing films! πŸ‘
 
I'm kinda surprised they're not making all these films available to stream sooner πŸ€”, considering how much money we spent on our ticket prices for theater showings last year 🎟️. I mean, who needs the extra cash when you can just binge-watch everything online at home? Plus, it's so convenient for us streaming-obsessed folks πŸ“Ί. But hey, I guess some films still want that big-screen magic ✨, and that's cool too. Netflix is killing the game with their Oscar nominees availability, btw πŸ€‘.
 
I'm not getting excited about all these streamable movies before the Oscars πŸ™„. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's nice to have options, but what's the point of even having a ceremony if everyone's just gonna watch them at home? It feels like we're losing that special experience of watching on the big screen with a crowd of people who care. And now I'll be stuck at home binge-watching all these movies before they even air... sounds like a recipe for burnout to me 😴.
