Nothing beats the big screen. That said, sometimes you just want to stay home and stream a movie on a TV from a bed or a comfortable couch. If you’re a true movie lover, the biggest video streaming services (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ Hulu, Max, Netflix) offer access to the most acclaimed films, including Academy Awards nominees the streamers funded.
The Oscars return on March 10, and you can watch the celebration on ABC. If you don't have access to an over-the-air signal, check out how to stream the Oscars.
