Roll out the red carpet, it’s time for the Oscars again! The 98th Academy Awards will air Sunday from 7 to 10 p.m. on television network ABC, as well as streaming on Hulu, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and FuboTV.
There are 10 films nominated for the biggest prize: Best Picture. That’s a lot of movies to watch between the nominations and the awards. Whether you’re a “Marty Supreme” head, an “F1” fan or fighting “One Battle After Another,” the race to the statuette is exciting this year. And if you still need to catch up on the films before Sunday, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s how you can watch all of the Best Picture nominees.
‘Bugonia’
This off-kilter sci-fi dark comedy flick comes from oddball director Yorgos Lanthimos, creator of acclaimed films such as “Poor Things” and “The Favourite.” “Bugonia” stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons in the tale of two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap a CEO because they believe that she is an alien.
To watch this movie, check out streaming service Peacock, or rent it from YouTube, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play or Fandango at Home. If you’re interested in seeing it on the big screen, you’re in luck; on Saturday, “Bugonia” will play at Cinemark North Hills at 12:10 and 12:15 p.m., as well as Cinemark Robinson Township at 12:15 and 12:40 p.m.
‘F1’
Start your engines! This blockbuster drama is a classic sports film starring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a washed-up former Formula One driver who returns to his team to bring them back from the brink. The pulse-pounding movie is also nominated for Film Editing, Sound and Visual Effects.
Apple TV subscribers can stream the film, or you can pay to view it on Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home or YouTube. This is definitely one to see in theaters, and it’s showing at the AMC Waterfront theater at 9 p.m. Saturday, Cinemark North Hills on Sunday at 10:35 and 11 a.m., and on Sunday at Cinemark Robinson Township at 10:40 and 11 a.m.
‘Frankenstein’
Guillermo del Toro, director of Oscar-winning creature feature “The Shape of Water,” brings a new monster to the Academy Awards this year with “Frankenstein.” The highly stylized film stars Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi as a mad scientist and the creature that he creates, all based on Mary Shelley’s classic science fiction novel.
This movie was made by Netflix, so you’ll have to fire up your subscription to watch it at home. It’s in theaters Friday night at Cinemark North Hills, with showings at 9:30 and 9:45 p.m.; and at Cinemark Robinson Township at 9:40 and 9:45 p.m.
‘Hamnet’
Get your tissues out for this one. Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao adapted the 2020 award-winning novel by the same name by Maggie O’Farrell to the screen. The historical fiction drama follows the family of William Shakespeare during a time of great tragedy. Jessie Buckley, who portrays Shakespeare’s wife Agnes, is the far-and-away frontrunner for the Best Actress award at Sunday’s Oscars.
Curl up and stream “Hamnet” on Peacock, or pay to stream from YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play and Fandango At Home. See it in the theater on Friday at 6:45 p.m. at Cinemark North Hills and Cinemark Robinson Township.
‘Marty Supreme’
Starring current Best Actor favorite Timothée Chalamet, “Marty Supreme” draws audiences into the world of an ambitious table tennis star. This dramedy had some of the hottest buzz in the Oscars race and has received nine Academy Award nominations, with Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography among them.
Eventually, “Marty Supreme” will be available to stream on HBO Max, but not in time for the Oscars. The film is available to buy or rent through YouTube, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play and Fandango at Home. It will play Friday at the AMC Waterfront at 9 p.m. and at Row House Cinemas Hollywood in Dormont at 8:15 p.m.; and Saturday at Cinemark North Hills at 6:30 p.m., Row House Cinemas Hollywood at 5 p.m. and Cinemark Robinson Township at 6:30 p.m.
‘One Battle After Another’
Paul Thomas Anderson’s newest film is currently the odds-on favorite to win Best Picture, and Anderson is predicted to win Best Director. “One Battle After Another” stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor and Benicio del Toro. The action-dramedy, an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s novel “Vineland,” follows a tangled web of characters as they navigate love, family and revolution. It is nominated for 13 Academy Awards.
“One Battle After Another” is streamable by subscribers to HBO Max and Hulu, and can also be purchased to stream from YouTube, Apple TV, Google Play and Fandango at Home. In theaters, it can be viewed Friday at AMC Waterfront at 3:35 p.m., AMC South Hills Village at 7:40 p.m. and AMC Westmoreland at 1:15 p.m.; on Saturday at Cinemark North Hills at 3 p.m., AMC Waterfront at 3:35 p.m., Cinemark Robinson Township at 3 p.m., AMC South Hills Village at 12:10 p.m. and AMC Westmoreland at 12:20 p.m.; and on Sunday at AMC Westmoreland at 12:35 p.m.
‘The Secret Agent’
This Brazilian film starring Best Actor nominee Wagner Moura has thrilled audiences and gained surprise popularity after making a splash at the Cannes Film Festival. The political thriller centers around a former professor who gets caught up in Brazil’s military dictatorship, and it has been praised for its visual landscape and exceptional performances.
You can check out “The Secret Agent” with your Hulu or Disney subscription, or pay to stream from YouTube, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play and Fandango at Home. Its only in-theater showtimes are on Friday, when it will show (with English subtitles) at Cinemark North Hills at 3:15 p.m. and at Cinemark Robinson Township at 3:15 and 3:30 p.m.
‘Sentimental Value’
Another Cannes hit, “Sentimental Value” comes from Norway and stars Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning. The film explores emotionally complicated family dynamics, especially those between parent and child and between sisters. Another heavy hitter for Sunday’s ceremony, it’s been nominated for nine Academy Awards.
Streaming subscriptions won’t help with watching “Sentimental Value,” but it’s available to buy or rent from Apple TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play and Fandango at Home. You can also catch it last-minute on Sunday at 12:35 p.m. at Cinemark North Hills and at 1:55 p.m. at Cinemark Robinson Township.
‘Sinners’
This horror-drama was a huge box office success and set a new record for most Oscar nominations with 16. Starring Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton and Delroy Lindo, the film follows a pair of twins and their cousin as they work to open a new juke joint in the Jim Crow South — and meet some unwelcome supernatural guests along the way.
“Sinners” can be viewed using subscriptions to HBO Max, Hulu, YouTube TV and Amazon Prime Video, or can be rented/bought on YouTube, Apple TV, Google Play and Fandango at Home. In theaters, find it Friday at AMC Waterfront at 7:25 p.m., at AMC South Hills Village at 9:35 p.m. and at AMC Westmoreland at 5 p.m.; Saturday at Cinemark North Hills at 10 p.m., AMC Waterfront at 7:25 p.m., Cinemark Robinson Township at 9:05 p.m. and 10 p.m., AMC South Hills Village at 9 p.m. and AMC Westmoreland at 5 p.m.
‘Train Dreams’
Based on the novella by Denis Johnson, this film chronicles the life of a logger and railroad worker in the Northwestern United States and the ups and downs of his journey as he navigates the shifting world at the turn of the 20th century. “Train Dreams” stars Joel Edgerton. It’s garnered four Academy Award nominations.
Like “Frankenstein,” “Train Dreams” can be exclusively streamed on Netflix. However, if you want to see its beautiful visuals on a big screen, buy your tickets for Friday’s shows at Cinemark North Hills at 11:35 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.; and Cinemark Robinson Township at 12:30 and 12:40 p.m.
