The Oscar awards ceremony is one of the biggest and most important in the film industry. Streaming providers have also been playing an increasingly important role for several years. Now the nominees for the Oscars 2023 have been determined – and some of them can already be streamed.
Glamour, stars and, above all, high-quality films – that’s what the Oscars stand for. The golden trophies, which incidentally weigh around 4 kilos, will be awarded for the 95th time this year. The gala event will take place on March 12, 2023 at the renowned Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Streaming services are getting involved again this year, especially Netflix. Accordingly, some of the highly regarded Oscar contenders can already be streamed. TECHBOOK provides an overview of which films are nominated for the Oscars in 2023 and on which streaming service they are running.
Oscars 2023 – where to stream the nominated films
the List of potential contenders leads the fantasy film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” with eleven nominations. Unfortunately, the film is still nowhere to be seen in this country. However, “The Bashees of Inisherin” (also not yet available from a streaming provider) followed in shared second place with nine nominations each, as did the German co-production “Nothing New in the West”. The latter can be streamed on Netflix. Somewhat surprisingly, the remake has not only been nominated for best international film, but can even have unrealistic hopes of winning the main prize for best film at the Oscars in 2023. Also worth noting is the biopic “Elvis” with its eight nominations on the way; the film is currently running on Sky and Wow.

You can also stream the frontrunner “Everything Everywhere All at Once” in this country.
