When the 91st Academy Awards air live on Feb. 24, though there may not be a host, one thing is certain: there’s no telling which movies the Academy will favor. The Golden Globes surprised many viewers with Best Picture wins for Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody, and it remains to be seen whether these films will thrive again at the 2019 Oscars.
Tied for ten Oscar nominations each, The Favourite and Roma lead the pack this year. Close behind are the Dick Cheney biopic Vice and Bradley Cooper’s take on the classic musical film A Star Is Born, tied with eight nominations. Early favorite If Beale Street Could Talk only received three nods, while Globe winners Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody each won five.
Marvel’s Black Panther also made history with its seven nominations—it’s now the first superhero movie ever nominated for Best Picture.
If you’re not caught up on all the movies nominated for the 2019 Oscars, fear not. You still have a few more weeks to watch them all. Some nominees, including If Beale Street Could Talk and Mary Poppins Returns, are still playing in theaters. Others, like Roma and Black Panther, are now available to stream. Here’s how to watch every film nominated for the 2019 Oscars.
