If you’re out of the pop culture loop, you might not know that ‘Film Christmas’, aka the 96th Academy Awards, took place earlier this week. The finest gold statues the film industry possesses were handed out to a variety of film creatives, and now we’re all scrambling to find out where to watch the 2024 Oscar winners on streaming.
We’re here to help with that, providing you with a handy list of exactly where you can watch all the Oscar-winning movies from this year in Australia.
Where to find the 2024 Oscar Films on Streaming
Oppenheimer
The big winner from this year’s Oscars was Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, a biopic about the father of the atom bomb. Oppenheimer walked away with seven Oscars, including: Best Picture, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Original Score.
The newly minted Oscar winner, Oppenheimer, is set to begin streaming on March 22 on Binge.
Some other Oscar nominees streaming on Binge include: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Poor Things
Yorgos Lanthimos’ strange steampunk fantasy film about a young woman who is brought back to life in an unorthodox manner and discovers her purpose free from the prejudices of her times, cleaned up at the Academy Awards this year. Emma Stone scored her second Best Leading Actress Oscar and the film also picked up Best Makeup and Hair, Best Costume and Best Production Design.
Poor Things is available to stream now on Disney+.
Other Oscar nominees streaming on Disney+ include: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, Elemental, Bobi Wine: The People’s President, The Creator, Flamin’ Hot and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
The Holdovers
The cosy Christmas movie The Holdovers, which follows a disgruntled teacher who is saddled with looking after a group of wayward students over the holiday period, scored Da’Vine Joy Randolph her first Oscar win for her role as Mary, a grieving mother and head cook for the university.
The Holdovers can be seen in cinemas or found on VOD platforms.
Anatomy of a Fall
The mystery thriller Anatomy of Fall brought home the award for Best Original Screenplay thanks to its gripping courtroom scenes and delicate family drama – plus, it paved the way for Snoop’s incredible performance!
Anatomy of a Fall is in cinemas now and will be coming to Apple TV on March 13.
Barbie
Barbie was notably snubbed in a few categories at the Oscars, but it also scored well-deserved nominations for America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling. In the end, the film took home just one Oscar, Best Original Song for Billie Eilish and Phinneas’ ‘What Was I Made For?’, but we all know Barbie’s impact was far bigger than any one awards ceremony can measure.
Barbie is currently available for purchase or rent on VOD services.
American Fiction
American Fiction made a massive name for Cord Jefferson, a first-time feature writer and director, who scored the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar. The movie stars Academy Award nominee Jeffrey Wright as a frustrated novelist and professor who writes a satire on ‘Black books’ only for it to be taken seriously and published to huge acclaim.
American Fiction can be streamed on Prime Video.
The Zone of Interest
Jonathan Glazer’s powerful film was propped up by an equally powerful speech at the 96th Academy Awards after it won Best International Feature Film and Best Sound. The movie is a confronting look at an elite German family living next door to a concentration camp.
The Zone of Interest is currently in cinemas.
The Boy and the Heron
It was a tight race for Best Animated Feature Film, but eventually, Hayao Miyazaki’s unusual tale about a young boy struggling with his mother’s death and his relationship with a fantastical local heron took the top prize.
Currently, The Boy and the Heron is only available to watch in cinemas and has very limited screenings.
Godzilla Minus One
Japan’s latest creature feature, Godzilla Minus One, made history as the first Japanese film to win a Bext VFX Oscar and also marked the first win for the Godzilla franchise.
Godzilla Minus One is only available to watch in cinemas right now.
