(CNN) – In previous years, unless you went to the cinema several times, you probably wouldn’t have had the chance to see all of the films nominated for best film at the Oscars.
But Covid-19 changed that.
With most cinemas closed due to the pandemic, streaming became the way to enjoy many of the latest movies.
On Sunday, the 93rd edition of the Academy Awards will be held and here we tell you how to see the films nominated for this year’s best film of the year:
Judas and the Black Messiah
We first fell in love with the couple Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield in Jordan Peele’s 2017 social horror movie Get Out.
Kaluuya and Stanfield have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for their roles as Fred Hampton, the leader of the Black Panthers, and as William O’Neal, the man the government used to help infiltrate Hampton’s organization.
It is currently available for rent on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube.
“Lack”
This black and white drama about the film adaptation of “Citizen Kane” narrated by screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (played by Gary Oldman who has been nominated for Best Actor) is a Netflix original and can still be found on the streaming platform.
Amanda Seyfried (who has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress) and Charles Dance star in the film directed by David Fincher (who competes for best director).
“Threatening”
This story of a Korean-American family who moves to Arkansas to pursue the American dream is as current as it is timeless.
Steven Yeun plays the patriarch of the family and is the first Asian-American to be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar.
Her co-star, Yuh-Jung Youn, is the first Korean actress to be nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category.
“Minari” is available for rent on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube.
“Nomadland”
Frances McDormand is usually the queen of the Oscars ball and it remains to be seen if that happens again this year.
In “Nomadland”, the esteemed actress plays a woman who joins a community of Travelers who travel across the country to do commissioned work.
Director Chloé Zhao has also been nominated.
The movie is available to stream on Hulu and rent on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube.

At 83 years old, the star of this film, Sir Anthony Hopkins, is the oldest nominee for best actor in the history of the awards.
