2023 was marred by strikes and work stoppages for the cinema world, throwing production and release schedules into chaos.
Looking to catch up ahead of the Academy Awards on March 10?
Here’s how to watch:
“OPPENHEIMER”
13 nominations. Digital purchase or rental. Streams on Peacock starting Feb. 16.
Christopher Nolan’s atomic opus “Oppenheimer” received widespread critical acclaim and broke box office records. It’s half the Barbenheimer phenom with “Barbie” from last July. The threehour film, which is semi-trippy and flashback heavy, chronicles the trials and tribulations of the secret Manhattan Project’s J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy). Available for pay at YouTube, Apple TV, Prime Video, Vudu, iTunes and Google Play and elsewhere.
“POOR THINGS”
11 nominations. In theaters.
Think Frankenstein story, and his bride. Director Yorgos Lanthimos owes a debt to Emma Stone, his childlike and highly randy Bella, in “Poor Things.” The comedy is dark and the vibe Victorian fantasy. And did we mention the sex? How Bella handles that activity has been the talk of film circles. No spoilers here but rest assured her consciousness is raised. Also stars Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo.
“KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON”
10 nominations. Digital purchase. Streams on Apple TV+.
