Where to watch every Oscar-nominated movie
Academy Awards season is back, Polygon readers!
2022 was a great year in movies, with standout blockbuster cinema from the U.S. and around the world, plenty of solid genre offerings, and great arthouse fare. And 2023 movies are off to a great start, too.
With the Oscar nominations officially out and us now just a short time away from the ceremony, there’s no better time to catch up on the awards season contenders before the the awards are doled out on March 12. Here’s a full breakdown of the nominated movies and where to watch them.
What it is: James Cameron’s long-awaited follow-up to the 2009 new sci-fi classic, which has dominated the box office since release. As usual for a new Cameron movie, the technological marvels are on full display, especially when it comes to underwater motion capture. It is also quite long — over three hours (no, there areno plans for a longer director’s cut) — so here’s our guide on planning your bathroom breaks. And, yes, a third movie is on its way.
Where to watch: Avatar: The Way of Water is only in theaters. The movie will eventually be available for digital rental or purchase, and then become available to stream onDisney Plus, but no date has been announced yet.
What it is: Polygon’s No. 10 movie of 2022, EEAAO is a multiverse adventure about a first-generation Chinese immigrant who runs a laundromat and is pulled into a multi-dimensional conflict that threatens to destroy the universe as we know it. Michelle Yeoh shines in the movie — she’s been one of our favorite performers for quite some time, and it’s a breath of fresh air to see this kind of role for her in a Hollywood movie — and the directing duo (known as the Daniels) went for all-out visual excess.
