Where to watch all 2024 Oscar winners and nominees

The 96th Academy Awards were held on March 10, 2024. The 2024 Oscar nominations hold some surprises, including some unexpected snubs—Greta Gerwig’s directing snub (for Barbie) has been an enduring point of discussion.

Oppenheimer was this year’s front-runner, with 13 nods, including Best Picture and Best Director (Christopher Nolan‘s second directing nod!), making it one of the most nominated films in Oscars history. Only three films have scored more nominations: All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land with 14 nods each. Jodie Foster earns her first nomination in 29 years for her role in Nyad. It’s a case of couples who write together get nominated together; real-life couples and writing duos Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and Justine Triet and Arthur Harari earned screenplay nominations for Barbie and Anatomy of a Fall, respectively. 

Looking to stream the 2024 Oscar winners and nominees? Nearly all of them are available to stream right now, and the rest are available on PVOD rental through Amazon, Apple, Google Play, and Vudu.

Napoleon 

Nominated for: Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Visual Effects

Where to watch: Apple TV Plus

Ridley Scott’s latest historical epic was quite a disappointment. Epic battles and set pieces aside, an inaccurate telling of history and a poor character study bog it down.
