Watch judas and the black messiah online.

Hulu has announced its catalog of movies and TV shows arriving on the platform in February 2024, and it has a great range of new stuff including award-winning favorites, and films that are so bad that you can’t help but love them.

To bring you out of the January blues for a fresh start in February, I’ve selected four new Hulu movies that have one thing in common; they’ve all earned Oscar wins. They arrive on Hulu just in time for the 2024 Academy Awards, that way you can revisit Oscar-winning royalty before new victors are crowned. And don’t forget we have lists of the best Hulu movies and best Hulu shows if you want more choice!

Along with the four top picks, you can find a complete list of everything that’s coming to Hulu below – you can jump right to the full list by clicking here.

Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)

Director: Shaka King
Runtime: 126 minutes
Age rating: R
Available to stream from: February 1

Shaka King’s biopic of civil rights activist Fred Hampton earned Daniel Kaluuya the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the 93rd Academy Awards. It retells the true story of the betrayal and assassination of Hampton, a significant figure in the final years of the Civil Rights Movement. FBI informant William O’Neal (played by LaKeith Stanfield) infiltrates the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party to eavesdrop on chairman Fred Hampton (Kaluuya), in a thriller that David Rooney at The Hollywood Reporter called "a scalding account of oppression and revolution, coercion and betrayal, rendered more shocking by the undiminished currency of its themes".

Nomadland (2020)

Director: Chloé Zhao
Runtime: 107 minutes
Age rating: R
Available to stream from: February 19

Zhao’s neo-Western masterpiece walked away with three out of the ‘Big Five’ Oscars, including Best Actress for Frances McDormand, Best Director for Zhao, and Best Picture. McDormand’s character, Fern, is reaping the aftermath of losing everything to the Great Recession, at the same time as coming to terms with the loss of her husband. We follow her as she begins her journey through the American west where she meets fellow modern nomads, who adopt her into the community. It’s McDormand’s most compelling performance since Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (2017), and an in-depth character study on independence and human connection.

Call Me By Your Name (2017)

Director: Luca Guadagnino
Runtime: 132 minutes
Age rating: R
Available to stream from: February 1

Call Me By Your Name has amassed a huge international following, attributed to its beautiful cinematography and the movie’s leading actor Timothee Chalamet, whose popularity exploded thanks to his mesmerizing performance in this movie. Set in 1980s Italy, 17 year-old Elio (Chalamet) meets his father’s research assistant Oliver (Armie Hammer) who is 24 years old. The two develop feelings for each other, which sparks a secret relationship. While the movie has received criticism for its depiction of a romance between a teenager and an adult, it's absolutely a modern classic coming-of-age story with emotion right at its center. It won Best Adapted Screenplay in 2018, with Chalamet nominated in the leading actor category.

12 Years a Slave (2013)

Director: Steve McQueen
Runtime: 134 minutes
Age rating: R
Available to stream from: February 1

Another movie with powerful performances that will undoubtedly leave you in tears by the time the credits roll. Inspired by the slave memoir by Soloman Northup, Chiwetel Ejiofor takes on the role of Northup as he is conned, kidnapped, and sold into slavery despite being born a free man. McQueen’s emotive drama earned a total of nine Oscar nominations, taking home the awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong'o, who is the true shining star of the movie as Patsey.
