Where and when to see big winners this year

Most years, movie fans would have feasted on the year’s Oscar winners well before the red carpet was unfurled at Hollywood’s biggest night of the year.

But following a 2020 that resulted in movie release schedules being thrown into chaos and the enforced closure of cinemas across the UK since Christmas, film fans could be forgiven for being in the dark about some of Sunday night’s triumphs.

For those who can’t wait until some belatedly make their way onto the big screen when cinemas reopen in May, we will usher you to where and when the cream of the crop are available for home viewing.

Best Picture – Nomadland

This year’s top film is still days away from its UK release. It will only be when it is launched on the Disney Plus streaming platform on Friday that people on this side of the pond will be able to decide if it was a worthy winner.

Best Actor – Anthony Hopkins (The Father)

Unlike many films which found alternative homes on streaming services, it has been held back for a theatre release – and is due to hit screens on June 11.

Best Supporting Actor – Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah)

Amid uncertainty about the reopening of picture houses, the film was released earlier this year to rent on Amazon Prime video for £15.99.

It’s also available to watch on Sky Store, Google Play, BFI Player, and BT TV.

Best Supporting Actress – Yuh-jung Youn (Minari)

The film, which follows the trials and tribulations of a Koreanamerican family that moves to an Arkansas farm, is available for rent on Amazon Prime Video for £9.99.
