The 2023 Oscar nominees are an eclectic bunch of films, from smaller crowd-pleasing indies like Everything Everywhere All at Once to blockbusters Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick.
Unlike in previous years, the 2023 Oscar nominations are dominated by theatrical releases, rather than titles that were exclusive to streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max and Amazon. However, many movies have since moved to streaming after racking up big money at the box office.
The Academy has grown much more diverse and international in recent years, which was proven again by the inclusion of Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund and his film Triangle of Sadness in several top categories.
There were plenty of Oscar nomination snubs, of course. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Knives Out: A Glass Onion Mystery and The Whale all failed to crack Best Picture. And while Women Talking did appear in that category, none of its acclaimed cast members (including Claire Foy, Rooney Mara and Jessie Buckley) were nominated.
Here's the full list of 2023 Oscar nominations and where to find them streaming online. Movies labeled "n/a" are not available for streaming, and you'll soon be able to watch Tár online without renting it.
