It's Not Too Late! You Can Rent or Buy These 20 Oscar-Nominated Films Right Now
What are you doing this weekend? Binge-watching Oscars movies, that's what.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, we’re not talking Christmas, that ship has sailed (thankfully). It’s nearly Oscars time, baby! The grand dame of awards season, the Academy Awards is Hollywood’s biggest night of the year and it’s just days away. [SQUEAL!]
While most of us live nowhere near tinsel town, we still want to be in on the action—and the great news is that as of Tuesday, 45 of the 62 films nominated this year are now available to buy or rent. Whether you’re a devotee of the tried-and-true DVD or you’re a digital-copy-only kind of gal, we’ve got the breakdown of 20 of the top movies you can get your hands on right now—from best film nominees Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight to less-hyped contenders like The Lobster (up for Writing, Original Screenplay) and Captain Fantastic (in which Viggo Mortensen is up for Actor in a Leading Role).
Not included in our list are films only available for pre-order—Lalaland, Lion and Hidden Figures among them—you’ll have to get thee to a movie theater this weekend to catch those. Until then, we recommend opening a bottle of wine, throwing some popcorn in the microwave and getting cozy on your couch, because you’ve got a lot of viewing to do.
