At last, the nominations for the 98th Academy Awards are finally in, and this year's list delivered no shortage of surprises. From unexpected contenders cracking major categories -- including a first-time nod for long-snubbed acting veteran Delroy Lindo -- to the inevitable snubs we expected, Thursday's announcement gave movie lovers plenty to talk about.
The biggest headline, however, belonged to the horror smash of the decade, Ryan Coogler's "Sinners," which shattered a long-standing record to become the most Oscar-nominated film of all time.
Amid all that buzzy news also came the announcement of the nominees for the academy's most coveted category: Best Picture.
After sifting through a pool of 201 eligible films, the academy selected 10 nominees, which include "Sinners," the much buzzed-about "One Battle After Another," and, to many people's surprise, the Brad Pitt racing drama "F1."
Now that the awards race is officially on, there's no better time to start catching up on the year's most talked-about films ahead of Oscar night.
Sadly, that list doesn't include "Wicked: For Good," which was completely shut out after the original film earned 10 nominations last year. Still, you have plenty of time to finally check out acclaimed titles like "Sentimental Value" and "Train Dreams" if you haven't already.
While some films -- including "Marty Supreme," "Hamnet" and "The Secret Agent" -- remain exclusive to theaters for now, the guide ahead breaks down every other Best Picture nominee currently available to stream, along with where you can watch them. Check back here for more updates.
'Sinners'
Ryan Coogler's audacious supernatural saga, which also scored nods for Best Original Screenplay and Casting, is set down in the Jim Crow South, where the notorious Smoke Stack twins (played by Best Actor nominee Michael B. Jordan) return to their Mississippi hometown in 1932 with plans to open their own juke joint with some old friends and family (including cousin Sammie, played by newcomer Miles Caton). However, their bluesy grand opening is interrupted when a greater evil (Jack O'Connell) pops up to welcome them back.

'One Battle After Another'
The pursuit of justice takes on a whole new meaning in Paul Thomas Anderson's action-packed dark comedy. The rousing film, also up for Best Adapted Screenplay, stars Best Actor nominee Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, a burned-out former revolutionary and ex-member of the French 75, who's been living off the grid with his daughter Willa (breakout star Chase Infiniti) since being abandoned by her mother, Perfidia Beverly Hills (Best Supporting Actress nominee Teyana Taylor). After a botched bank robbery led Perfidia to betray their vigilante crew, Bob thought his past was behind him. That is, until an old enemy (Sean Penn) resurfaces with a score to settle. Forced out of hiding, he and Willa hit the road to confront the consequences of their pasts they can no longer outrun.

'Frankenstein'
Guillermo del Toro's monster adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic story is up for nine Oscar nominations this year, including Best Adapted Screenplay. The film follows the life of Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac), a brilliant but egotistical scientist whose daring experiment brings a monstrous creature (Best Supporting Actor nominee Jacob Elordi) to life, though his actions ultimately lead to his undoing and that of his tortured creation.

'F1'
One of the biggest sports dramas of 2025 set its sights on the thrilling world of Formula 1 racing. The surprise Best Picture nominee centers on racing legend Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a once-promising phenom of the '90s until an accident on the track derailed his career. Thirty years later, he's coaxed out of retirement to lead a struggling Formula 1 team -- and mentor a young hotshot rookie driver (Damson Idris) -- for one last chance at becoming the best in the world.

'Bugonia'
Yorgos Lanthimos' "Bugonia" isn't your average movie about extraterrestrials. Perhaps that's why the film notched several Oscar nominations this year, including Best Adapted Screenplay. A remake of 2003's "Save the Green Planet!," the black comedy follows Teddy (Jesse Plemons), a part-time beekeeper and obsessed conspiracy theorist, who has convinced his cousin Don (Aidan Delbis) that the high-powered CEO (Best Actress nominee Emma Stone) of a major corporation is actually an alien in disguise plotting to destroy the planet Earth.

'Train Dreams'
Another Best Adapted Screenplay nominee, Clint Bentley's "Train Dreams" is a moving ode to a disappearing way of life in a rapidly changing world. Based on Denis Johnson's beloved 2011 novella, the period drama recounts the life of logger and railroad worker Robert Grainier, who experiences love and devastating loss during an era of unprecedented change in early 20th-century America.

'Sentimental Value'
"Sentimental Value" is another top Oscars contender that scooped up multiple nods, including Best International Feature, Best Original Screenplay and Best Director for Joachim Trier. The Norwegian family drama explores the fraught bond between sisters Nora (Best Actress nominee Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Best Supporting Actress nominee Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) and their estranged father, Gustav (Best Supporting Actor nominee Stellan Skarsgård), a once-renowned director. In the wake of their mother's death, Gustav offers stage actor Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film, only for her to turn it down. When Nora learns that her father has given the part to an eager young Hollywood star (played by Best Supporting Actress nominee Elle Fanning), she and Agnes are forced to confront the tangled dynamics of their family.
