Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to awards show season, live from your couch.

In the midst of the pandemic, one of the best activities that you can still participate in is staying home and watching countless movies with your family, roommates or loyal pet. Now, you can binge productively, as you try to watch every Oscar nominee before the show airs April 25 on ABC.

This year, the picks for Best Picture run the gamut in terms of genre as well as what streaming service they are on. Instead of skimming through all your apps, take a look below for a guide to the films and how to watch them all. Some movies are not on streaming platforms, so check back periodically as they are added.

“Judas and the Black Messiah”

This historical drama starring nominees Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield — both of whom are nominated in the Supporting Actor category — is one you won’t want to miss, but sadly if you didn’t catch it on HBO Max before the 14th, you may have to wait.

While there isn’t any streaming service that currently has this movie, select theaters may. It’s worth checking Fandango to see which cinemas are open, and then calling to confirm COVID regulations are being followed. Be sure to bring a mask, and then sit back and enjoy the show.

In addition to Best Picture and Supporting Actor, the film is also nominated for Original Screenplay, Original Song and Cinematography.

“Mank”

Go back, long before COVID times, to the 1930s with “Mank,” right from your very own living room. Brought to you by Netflix, all you need is a subscription and a screen in order to watch this Oscar nominee, starring Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried and Charles Dance.

Oldman is nominated for Best Actor, Seyfried scored a Best Supporting Actress nod and director David Fincher is nominated. The movie is also up for Original Score, Costume Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Cinematography, Sound and Production Design.

“Minari”

Thanks to Amazon, fall in love with the Yi family as they make their own version of the American dream in the film “Minari.” The rental costs $19.99 and you have 30 days from purchase to start the show, which is plenty of time to order food and set up your home theater.

Steven Yeun made Oscars history, becoming the first Asian-American ever nominated for Best Actor. Yuh-Jung Youn is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Lee Isaac Chung got a nod for Best Director and the film is also nominated for Original Score and Screenplay.

“Nomadland”

This American drama, which won a Golden Globe award, features Frances McDormand, who was nominated for Best Actress. “Nomadland” is available to stream on Hulu, making it easy to sign up and watch on any device and as many times as you want before (and after) the awards on the 25th.

Chloé Zhao was also nominated for Best Director, Film Editing and Adapted Screenplay. The movie is also up for a Cinematography award.

“Promising Young Woman”

This film is more than just promising, as it has continued to rack up rave reviews and now an Oscar nomination as well. The film stars Carey Mulligan, who was nominated for Best Actress, along with Bo Burnham and Alison Brie like you’ve never seen them before, and can be found on Amazon. Choose to rent the film for $5.99 and watch it any time within 30 days, or buy the movie for $19.99 and watch it whenever you want, as many times as you’d like.

Emerald Fennell also scored a nod for Best Director and Original Screenplay, and the film is also up for a Film Editing award.

“Sound of Metal”

“Sound of Metal” tackles some hard-hitting topics like addiction and loss, coupled with the beauty of music and love that you’ll need to watch to understand. The film stars
Riz Ahmed, Olivia Cooke and Paul Raci, and can be streamed on Amazon Prime.

Ahmed is nominated for Best Actor and Raci scored a nod for Best Supporting Actor. The movie is also up for Original Screenplay, Sound and Film Editing.

“The Father”

Like in the film, we all need to practice patience sometimes. In order to stream “The Father,” you’ll need some of that, as it won’t hit POV sites like Amazon until March 26. If you are dying to see it (and you should be), you can also check out Fandango to see if your local movie theater is showing it. Make sure to follow all COVID rules as well in order to keep our own fathers and other loved ones safe.

In addition to Best Picture, the movie is up for Adapted Screenplay, Film Editing and Production Design, Anthony Hopkins was also nominated for Best Actor and Olivia Colman for Best Supporting Actress.

“The Trial of the Chicago 7”

If you’ve never seen a serious Sacha Baron Cohen, you are in for a serious treat — as he’s nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role. Also starring Eddie Redmayne and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, this retelling of the historic trial is available to stream exclusively on Netflix. Log in to your account and settle in with any screen you have handy, as you’ll want to have complete focus on the film, which is up for Original Screenplay, Original Song, Cinematography and Film Editing.
