After a rough few pandemic-addled years, the Oscars were back in a big way last night, with Hollywood studios taking the spotlight back from the streamers after recent strong showings by the likes of Netflix and Apple TV+. While I love a night filled with old Hollywood glamour, it's hard to hate on the streamers too much given that, thanks to them, it's possible to watch nearly all of the award-winning films right now from the comfort of your couch. Here's where to stream all of this year's winners right now.
Oppenheimer (7 Oscar wins)
Awards: Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey, Jr.), Best Original Score (Ludwig Göransson), Best Cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema), Best Film Editing (Jennifer Lame)
As expected, it was Christopher Nolan's night at the Oscars, with his atomic bomb biopic snagging the majority of the major awards, including Best Actor for his longtime partner Cillian Murphy, who has appeared in six of the director's films), and a late-career Best Supporting Actor win for Robert Downey, Jr.
Where to stream: Peacock
Poor Things (4 Oscar wins)
Awards: Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Production Design (James Price, Shona Heath, and Zsuzsa Mihalek), Best Makeup and Hairstyling (Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston), Best Costume Design (Holly Waddington)
Taking the Mad Max: Fury Road position for the nominee with the most craft award wins, Poor Things started the night early with three statuettes and then had to wait a couple of hours to pick up a fourth, as Emma Stone won her second award for Best Actress in an upset over The Killers of the Flower Moon's Lily Gladstone.
Where to stream: Hulu
The Holdovers (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Supporting Actress (Da'vine Joy Randolph)
I was hoping Paul Giamatti would snag a long-deserved Best Actor win two decades after his Sideways snub, but the only award for The Holdovers went to his co-star, Da'vine Joy Randolph. (In one of the night's most touching moments, her heartfelt speech brought Giamatti to tears.)
Where to stream: Peacock
The Zone of Interest (2 Oscar wins)
Awards: Best Picture Not in the English Language, Best Sound
Jonathan Glazer's disturbing Holocaust drama was nominated for both Best Picture and Best Film Not in the English Language, and took home the latter. He was one of the only winners to reference the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the ongoing conflict in Gaza in his acceptance speech.
Where to stream: Digital purchase ($19.99)
Anatomy of a Fall (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Original Screenplay (Justine Triet)
The Cannes Palm d'Or winner was nominated for a bevy of awards but took home only Best Original Screenplay for writer/director Justine Triet.
Where to stream: Digital rental ($5.99)
American Fiction (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Adapted Screenplay (Cord Jefferson)
Notably the only Oscar winner written and directed by a former Gawker writer, American Fiction won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay; it's based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett.
Where to stream: MGM+
Barbie (1 Oscar Win)
Award: Best Song ("What Was I Made For?", Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell)
In the final lap of the Barbenheimer race, Barbie came up short, winning only the Oscar for Best Original Song. But don't feel too bad for all involved: Director Greta Gerwig has her next Blockbuster lined up with Netflix (an adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia), while producer Margot Robbie can tout having ushered along the biggest worldwide box office hit of 2023. And at just 22, Billie Eilish became the youngest person to win two Academy Awards.
Where to stream: Max
Godzilla Minus One (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Visual Effects
We live in a world where a Godzilla movie has an Oscar, and I think that's beautiful.
Where to stream: TBD for now
The Boy and the Heron (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Animated Feature
If this turns out to be Hayao Miyazaki's last film, he's going out on a winner: The Boy and the Heron earned him his second Oscar after 2001's Spirited Away. In classic Miyazaki fashion, he wasn't there to accept.
Where to stream: Nowhere yet, but it should join the rest of the Studio Ghibli movies on Max soon
20 Days in Mariupol (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Documentary Feature
The harrowing documentary about the ongoing war in Ukraine seemed a virtual lock for the award, but it's a hard thing to cheer for, given the subject matter. Even director Mstyslav Chernov said in his speech that he'd rather have no Oscar and no war.
Where to stream: Streaming free on PBS.org, Prime Video
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Live Action Short
Critics love Wes Anderson but Academy voters have long seemed largely indifferent to his quirky charms—but now he finally has an Oscar, albeit for a short film instead of a feature. (Netflix will take it, I'm sure—it proved to be the streamer's only win of the night, a far cry from the streaming-heavy awards slates of the pandemic years).
Where to stream: Netflix
The Last Repair Shop (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Documentary Short Film
This charming short about the last Los Angeles shop that repairs students' musical instruments proved to be a Hollywood hometown favorite.
Where to stream: Disney+
War Is Over: Inspired by the Music of John Lennon and Yoko Ono (1 Oscar win)
Award: Best Animated Short Film
It was a little weird that no one involved in the making of this anti-war film mentioned the multiple ongoing wars in their speeches, but at least Sean Lennon said happy (British) mother's day to his mom.
Where to stream: Nowhere yet
