Film's biggest night is almost here with the 96th annual Academy Awards set to air live from the Dolby Theatre on March 10 at 7 p.m. ET. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time, the competition for best picture is fierce this year.
The best picture nominees range from blockbuster hits like 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' to indie favorite 'Past Lives.' Themes this year revolve around death, existential questions, and womanhood. Notably, multiple foreign language films made the best picture cut, including 'Anatomy of a Fall' and 'The Zone of Interest.'
'Oppenheimer' leads with 13 nominations, closely followed by 'Poor Things' and 'Killers of the Flower Moon' with 11 and 10 nominations respectively.
All 10 best picture nominees are available for streaming, even for those still in theaters. Viewers can find the films on various platforms, and a VPN can help access them from anywhere if not available locally.
'American Fiction' follows novelist Thelonious Ellison, 'Anatomy of a Fall' is a French legal thriller, 'Barbie' brings the iconic doll to life, 'The Holdovers' is a boarding school drama, and 'Killers of the Flower Moon' delves into historical crime.
'Maestro' explores the life of Leonard Bernstein, 'Oppenheimer' details the Manhattan Project, 'Past Lives' is a love triangle drama, 'Poor Things' is a genre-bending tale, and 'The Zone of Interest' sheds light on complicity in the Holocaust.
