Where to Watch Nominees

Every year, I try to watch several of the nominated films. I usually miss a few, sometimes watching them after the winners are announced. So far, I’ve only watched three nominees: The HoldoversBarbie, and May December. I have several more to watch before the awards show, and I must decide which ones to skip or watch later. Oppenheimer and Barbie require a time commitment. I enjoyed Barbie but need more time to dedicate three hours to OppenheimerThe Holdovers is worth a watch; it has a great story and performances.
