Need to catch up on your Oscar best-picture nominees? Here’s how.

I consider myself to be pretty up-to-date when it comes to big releases at the box office, but this year’s crop of Oscar-nominated films showed I have plenty of blind spots to catch up on in the coming weeks. 

If you’re woefully trying to cram in showtimes before the March 15 ceremony, here’s a starter list about how to see the films nominated for best picture.

‘Sinners’

Nominations: Best picture, best director for Ryan Coogler, best actor for Michael B. Jordan, best supporting actor for Delroy Lindo, best supporting actress for Wunmi Mosaku, best original screenplay, best casting, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best makeup and hairstyling, best original score, best original song, best production design, best sound, best visual effects.

If you haven’t seen any of the Oscar contenders for this year, this is the movie that I’m requiring you to sit down and watch as soon as you can. This vampire movie set in 1930s Mississippi is an undeniable tour de force, breaking records for both Oscar nominations and at the box office for an original film released this decade.

The movie is playing at Metro Cinemas through next week, streaming on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video, and available for rent through Fandango at Home, Apple TV and Google Play Movies & TV.

‘One Battle After Another’

Nominations: Best picture, best director for Paul Thomas Anderson, best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, best supporting actor for Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn, best supporting actress for Teyana Taylor, best adapted screenplay, best casting, best cinematography, best film editing, best original score, best production design and best sound. 

I loved this Paul Thomas Anderson-directed adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s “Vineland,” about a stoned, washed-up revolutionary pulled back into the fray (or what’s left of it) to save his daughter, and particularly Del Toro’s line reading of “a few small beers.”

It’s streaming through HBO Max, and available for rent and purchase on Apple TV, Google Play Movies & TV and Fandango at Home. 

‘Sentimental Value’

Nominations: Best picture, best international feature, best director for Joachim Trier, best actress for Renate Reinsve, best supporting actor for Stellan Skarsgård, best supporting actress for Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, best original screenplay, best film editing. 

This tender, Norwegian drama about a director, his estranged daughters, and the American actress cast in one of his films was one of my favorites of the year; it’s about family, filmmaking and so much more.

It’s playing at Metro Cinemas, and is available to rent or buy through YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV, Fandango at Home, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. 

‘Marty Supreme’

Nominations: Best picture, best director for Josh Safdie, best actor Timothée Chalamet, best original screenplay, best casting, best cinematography, best costume design, best film editing, best production design. 

Timmy Tim is up for best actor with this frenetic drama, set in 1950s New York as young ping-pong star Marty Mauser experiences the epic highs and lows of table tennis star-making. (I do think a supporting actor nod for “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary, who plays a wealthy businessman drawn into Mauser’s orbit, would not have been out of place.)

The movie is playing at Metro Cinemas, Regal Valley River Center and Cinemark Eugene-Springfield 17, but is not yet available for rent or purchase online. 

‘Frankenstein’

Nominations: Best picture, best supporting actor for Jacob Elordi, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best costume design, best makeup and hairstyling, best original score, best production design, best sound. 

This Netflix original reimagining of the classic Mary Shelley tale, directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, racked up a solid number of nominations in this year’s race. The movie is playing at Metro Cinemas and is available for streaming on Netflix. 

‘Hamnet’

Nominations: Best picture, best director for Chloé Zhao, best actress for Jessie Buckley, best adapted screenplay, best casting, best costume design, best original score and best production design. 

This soulful take on the personal loss that inspired William Shakespeare to write “Hamlet,” which he penned after losing a son named Hamnet, has earned extensive praise for Buckley’s performance as Shakespeare’s wife. The movie is playing at Metro Cinemas and Cinemark Eugene Springfield 17 but is not yet available to watch digitally.

‘Bugonia’

Nominations: Best picture, best actress for Emma Stone, best adapted screenplay, best original score.

This conspiracy social satire, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (“Poor Things,” “Kinds of Kindness”) and anchored by standout performances from Stone and Jesse Plemons, is both sympathetic and electric in its handling of a kidnapping plot where two young men believe a health care CEO is an alien in disguise. The movie is streaming on Peacock and is available for rent through YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV, Fandango at Home and Apple TV.

‘F1’

Nominations: Best picture, best film editing, best sound, best visual effects.

I was surprised to see the “F1” movie in the lineup for best picture nominees, but you know what, sure! It is exciting when cars go fast. The movie is streaming on Apple TV, and is available for digital purchase on YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV and Fandango at Home. 

‘Train Dreams’

Nominated for: Best picture, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography and best original song. 

This Pacific Northwest-set account of 80 years in one logger’s life, starring Joel Edgerton in an adaptation of the 2011 novella of the same name, is playing at Metro Cinemas and streaming on Netflix.

‘The Secret Agent’

Nominated for: Best picture, best international feature, best actor for Wagner Moura and best casting.

This movie, about a former professor enmeshed in political turmoil during the Brazilian military dictatorship of the 1970s, is sadly not yet available for streaming or premium video on demand; its last day at Metro Cinemas was Thursday, Jan. 22. I’ll update this list if there are updated showtimes scheduled.
