The world of cinema has changed so much in the past few years – for obvious reasons – that it’s often the case that by the time the Oscars roll around, a lot of the nominated films are already available to stream.
With the Academy Awards on the horizon, this year’s nominees have now been announced, and if you didn’t catch the likes of Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Banshees Of Inisherin or Elvis in cinemas, you’re in luck.
Although some of the year’s top nominees, including Avatar: The Way Of Water, Living and The Whale, are still exclusive to cinemas, others are now available to watch at home.
