The 2024 Academy Awards are airing Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on ABC, so time is running out to watch all of the nominated films.
Lucky for you, you may be able to watch them from the comfort of your living room couch, depending on which streaming services you subscribe to.
Time is limited, so you may only be able to catch a handful of these excellent films. Which ones should you prioritize? The ones with the most Oscar nods, of course!
This year’s must-see movie is Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” the World War II-era drama that chronicled the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer as he and his team developed the atomic bomb. The movie received 13 nominations, including best picture and best acting nods for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt.
The second-most-nominated film was “Poor Things,” a unique and whimsical dark comedy about a female Frankenstein-esque creation learning how to make her way in the world. It received 11 nominations, including best picture and best actress in a leading role for Emma Stone.

Industry watchers had been speculating about the performance for months. Even Gosling hesitated when asked about it in an interview previously.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” should also be on your “must-watch” list. It’s a harrowing true story about an Osage woman (played by Lily Gladstone) who’s married to a White man (Leonardo DiCaprio) in 1920s Oklahoma. The film chronicles a horrific spate of Osage Nation deaths at the hands of greedy oil businessmen. It received 10 nominations, including best picture, best director for Martin Scorsese and best actress for Gladstone.
Once you’ve knocked out these three, try to see as many of the best picture nominated films as possible.
