How to watch every Best Picture Oscar winner that is streaming online Liam Mathews
This year, during an Oscars season unlike any other, it’s arguably never been easier to watch all the Best Picture nominees. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, which forced movie theaters to shut down for the better part of a year, every top contender was released with home viewing in mind. At one point or another, all eight Best Picture nominees were streaming online, either through subscription services or for rental via premium-on-demand prices. At the moment, Best Picture front-runner “Nomadland” is available on Hulu for all to see; strong contenders like “Minari” and “Promising Young Woman” can be rented through Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, or any other digital on-demand service; Netflix is home to “Mank,” the year’s top-nominated contender, and “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” an underdog Best Picture option.
