How to watch the 2022 Oscar nominated films

The 2022 Oscar nominations are here, and William's predictions from our previous issue were right on point! You have about six weeks to watch as many Academy Award nominated films as your schedule will allow before the March 27 ceremony. If you want the Academy to recognize your favorite movie of the year, you can submit your own nomination in a special Fan Favorite category. A number of the Oscar-nominated flicks are still in theaters or will return to theaters for brief runs prior to next month's ceremony. If you're wondering how to watch these films in the comfort of your home, most of the nominations are now available to rent or stream on a variety of services. Below is your guide to Oscar season!

The Best Picture nominations
Belfast | 7 nominations: You can rent Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiographical film on a number of platforms, including Amazon Prime and Apple.
CODA | 3 nominations: With Tick Tick missing the best picture category, CODA is the film I was most excited to see show up! You can watch it now on Apple TV+
