While Netflix might be the obvious place to watch Oscar-nominated films – its 35 nominations on March 15 make the streaming service the leader among studios – other online players did not walk away empty-handed.

In fact, there has been no better time to watch such films online before the Oscars take place in the United States on April 25.

The entry of Disney+ earlier this year puts award-winning Pixar animation at one’s fingertips. Meanwhile, existing services such as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ and yes, Netflix, are all vying to offer prestigious original content.

Note that some films, such as the Asian-American immigrant drama Minari, which has six Oscar nominations, might appear as available to rent on some browsers. However, the film is currently unavailable for browsers that are configured as being physically in Singapore and logged in with a Singapore-registered user account.

Scroll below to know which shows you should be keeping your eyes on.
