'I'm Still Here'

Nominated for three Oscars, including best actress (Fernanda Torres) and best international feature film.

"I'm Still Here" takes place during a time of political instability in Brazil. The majority of the film follows Eunice Paiva (Torres) as she searches for her politician husband after his disappearance following a raid on their Rio de Janeiro home. The film is based on a book by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, who documented his mother Eunice's life.

Where to watch: Available to Apple TV subscribers.

'Anora'

Nominated for six Oscars, including best director (Sean Baker), best actress (Mikey Madison), best supporting actor (Yura Borisov), best original screenplay and best film editing.

"Anora” follows a Brooklyn stripper (Madison) who enters into a shotgun marriage with the spoiled scion of a Russian oligarch, setting the young newlyweds on a crash course with his ruthless parents and the three goons hired to break them apart.

Where to watch: Available to subscribers on Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Fandango At Home.

'The Brutalist'

Nominated for 10 Oscars, including best director (Brady Corbet), best actor in a lead role (Adrian Brody), best actress in a supporting role (Felicity Jones), best actor in a supporting role (Guy Pearce), best original screenplay, best cinematography, best film editing and best production design.

“The Brutalist” is a sweeping 215-minute epic about a gifted Hungarian Jewish architect (Brody) who flees the horrors of World War II and attempts to reconstruct his life in the United States. The architect, László Toth, lands in Pennsylvania, where his skills are recognized by a wealthy industrialist.

Where to watch: Available to rent for $19.99 on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube and Fandango At Home.

'Conclave'

Nominated for eight Oscars, including actor in a leading role (Ralph Fiennes), actress in a supporting role (Isabella Rossellini), best adapted screenplay, best editing, best production design and costume design.

"Conclave" goes behind-the-scenes of the Vatican for one of the most secretive processes: electing a new pope. The process is complicated further by power-hungry cardinals. “Conclave” director Edward Berger, already an Oscar winner for “All Quiet on the Western Front,” gets top performances out of an all-star cast, including Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow. (The film’s distributor is Focus Features, a unit of NBC News’ parent corporation, Comcast.)

Where to watch: Streaming on Peacock for subscribers or to rent for $5.99 on Apple TV, YouTube, Google Play, Amazon Prime, and Fandango At Home.

'Dune: Part Two'

Nominated for five Oscars, including best sound, best visual effects, best cinematography and best production design.

The second installment of Denis Villeneuve’s immersive adaptation includes a long roster of A-list talent, including Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. The first “Dune” scored 10 nominations at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022 and won six awards that night.

Where to watch: Available to subscribers of Max, Netflix, YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling TV, The Roku Channel, Amazon Prime, or to rent for $3.99 on Fandango At Home, Google Play and Apple TV.

'Nickel Boys'

Nominated for two Oscars, including adapted screenplay.

The Dozier School for Boys in the Florida panhandle town of Marianna was once one of the most infamous educational institutions in the country, notorious for the physical and sexual abuse of students by staff. RaMell Ross's "Nickel Boys" explores that dark legacy. The film, an adaptation of a novel of the same name by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Colson Whitehead, is a portrait of two Black boys who are sent to a violent reform school closely modeled on Dozier.

Where to watch: Available to rent for $19.99 on YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and Amazon Prime.

'The Substance'

Nominated for five Oscars, including best makeup and hairstyling, best directing (Coralie Fargeat), best leading actress (Demi Moore), and best original screenplay.

One of the few horror films to earn a best picture nomination, "The Substance" follows TV workout instructor Elizabeth Sparkle (Moore) during the twilight years of her career at a chauvinistic network. This leads her to begin injecting a serum, which promise a youthful, better version of herself.

Where to watch: Available to Amazon Prime subscribers and to rent for $5.99 on Fandango At Home and Apple TV.

'Wicked'

Nominated for 10 Oscars, including best actress (Cynthia Erivo), best supporting actress (Ariana Grande), best makeup and hairstyling, best music, best sound, best visual effects, best film editing, best production design, and best costume design.

The adaptation of the Broadway smash hit is a retelling of the lore of "The Wizard of Oz" and follows Glinda/Galinda (Grande) and Elphaba (Erivo), the good witch and the Wicked Witch of the West, respectively, during their school days at Shiz University. Universal Pictures (a unit of NBC News’ parent corporation, Comcast) pulled out all the stops to help make “Wicked” a box-office superhit.

Where to watch: Available to rent for $19.99 on Apple TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play, and Fandango At Home.

'A Complete Unknown'

Nominated for eight Oscars, including best director (James Mangold), best actor in a leading role (Chalamet), best supporting actress (Monica Barbaro), best supporting actor (Edward Norton), best adapted screenplay, best costume design and best sound.

This biopic of Bob Dylan's life begins in 1961, with Dylan's (Chalamet) arrival in New York City. The artist quickly emerges in the folk music scene, eventually recording his own, socially conscious music. Later, he begins experimenting more with electric instruments and rock in his music, a controversial move that would define his sound.

Where to watch: Available to rent for $29.99 on YouTube and Fandango At Home.

'Emilia Pérez'

Nominated for 13 Oscars including best actress (Karla Sofía Gascón), best supporting actress (Zoe Saldaña), best director (Jacques Audiard), best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best film editing, best makeup and hairstyling, best original score and two nominations for best original song.

Perhaps one of the most discussed nominees is the genre-defying musical and crime thriller about a Mexican cartel boss who dreams of transitioning into a woman. The film follows Rita (Saldaña), an attorney, who helps the cartel leader (Gascón) fake their death and re-emerge as social activist Emilia Pérez. The film scored the most nominations of any film this year and tied the all-time record. But it's also faced controversy after Gascón's past social media posts resurfaced online.

Where to watch: Available to Netflix subscribers.
