2022 Oscar-nominated films


The past 12 months have, once again, been a little bit iffy for the film world. While cinemas have been open around the UK for some time now, the ongoing Covid situation has meant they haven’t always been the most enticing environments for a lot of us.

Because of this, with Oscars season now upon us, it might be the case that there are a few gaps on the list of films you’ve actually seen – but don’t fret, because many of them are now available to watch on streaming and catch-up services.

Here are all the top Oscar-nominated films subscribers to the main streaming services can enjoy…
