Your binge of nominated films starts here

The winner in the Oscar nominations race was “Oppenheimer” with 13 nods, followed by the otherworldly “Poor Things” with 11 and the period epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10.

Looking to catch up ahead of the Academy Awards on March 10? Here’s how to watch.

‘Oppenheimer,’ 13 nominations:

Christopher Nolan’s atomic opus “Oppenheimer” received widespread critical acclaim and broke box office records. It’s half the Barbenheimer phenom with “Barbie” from last July. The three-hour film, which is semi-trippy and flashback heavy, chronicles the trials and tribulations of the secret Manhattan Project’s J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy). (Digital purchase or rental; Feb. 16 on Peacock)

‘Poor Things,’ 11 nominations:

Think Frankenstein story, and his bride. Director Yorgos Lanthimos owes a debt to Emma Stone, his childlike and highly randy Bella, in “Poor Things.” The comedy is dark and the vibe Victorian fantasy.

And did we mention the sex? How Bella handles that activity has been the talk of film circles. Also stars Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo. (In theaters)

‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ 10 nominations:

Martin Scorsese delves into the systematic killing of Osage Nation members for their oilrich land in the 1920s in his drama “Killers of the Flower Moon.”With a star-bright cast, including Lily Gladstone, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. (Digital purchase; Apple TV+) ‘Barbie,’ 8 nominations: Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” in the billion-dollar club at the box office, is a live-action musical comedy focused on the 64-year-old plastic doll in a range of iterations. It also took the globe by storm, culturally speaking. The film stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (as Just Ken). (Digital purchase or rental; Max)

‘Maestro,’ 7 nominations:

With the help of a prosthetic nose, Bradley Cooper brings Leonard Bernstein alive in “Maestro,” which he also directed. The famed conductor’s personal life and persona on stage benefit from Cooper’s energy, and chain smoking. Carey Mulligan plays actor Felicia Montealegre, Bernstein’s stylish wife.(Digital purchase or rental; Netflix)

‘American Fiction,’ 5 nominations:

Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut “American Fiction” is what satire should be: funny while succinctly pointing at truths. Jeffrey Wright plays a frustrated academic up against the wall of what Black books must be to sell. He takes action. The film is also about families and the weight of their struggles. The cast includes Leslie Uggams, Erika Alexander, Issa Rae, Sterling K. Brown and Tracee Ellis Ross. (In theaters)

‘Anatomy of a Fall,’ 5 nominations:

Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” took the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. It stars Sandra Hüller as a writer trying to prove her innocence in court in her husband’s death at their chalet in the French Alps. The verdict? We won’t tell. (Digital purchase or rental)

‘The Holdovers,’ 5 nominations:

The themes of loneliness and belonging in Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers” resonate and are wrapped in a comedic package.

Set in 1970 over the holiday break at a boarding school, there’s plenty of nostalgia in the details. Paul Giamatti stars as the teacher stuck minding Angus (Dominic Sessa) and other students with no place to go. (Digital purchase; Peacock)

‘The Zone of Interest,’ 5 nominations:

There’s another meaty role for Sandra Hüller in the Holocaust story directed by Jonathan Glazer. She plays Hedwig, the wife of Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel), the real-life, bloodthirsty commandant of Auschwitz. The action largely has Rudolf and Hedwig living their everyday family lives just a few steps from the ovens and trains that were instruments in the slaughter of millions of Jews. (In theaters)

‘Past Lives,’ 2 nominations:

Celine Song’s feature debut “Past Lives” is a triumph for her as director and writer, and for Greta Lee, one of her stars. Largely autobiographical, it tells the story of childhood companions in Seoul who reunite and rekindle in New York years later, landing in a love triangle. The other thirds of the equation are played by Teo Yoo and John Magaro. (Digital purchase or rental; Feb. 2 on Paramount+)

‘Nyad,’ 2 nominations: Annette Bening plays the never-say-die marathon open-water swimmer Diana Nyad and Jodie Foster portrays Nyad’s best friend and trainer, Bonnie Stoll. Enough said. At age 60, Nyad decides to attempt to swim the shark-infested ocean from Cuba to Miami. Nothing will stop her and lots of things try. A lesson in single-focus excellence. (Netflix)

‘Society of the Snow,’ 2 nominations:

The story of an amateur Uruguay rugby team’s 1972 plane crash in the Andes as they traveled with relatives and friends to Chile for a match has been told on film many times. They faced biting cold, massive snowstorms, avalanches and starvation. In “Society of the Snow,”J.A. Bayona wanted to honor the tragedy’s victims and survivors, including him. It’s bleak indeed, with a spirit of love and camaraderie.

(Netflix)

‘The Color Purple,’ 1 nomination:

It was a book (Alice Walker). It was a dramatic film (Whoopi Goldberg as Celie). It was a Broadway musical (Fantasia Barrino as Celie). This

“The Color Purple” has Barrino back. It’s a musical, too, adapted from the stage version, and it’s directed by Blitz Bazawule. He squeezes the strength of Black women out of his harrowing film. Colman Domingo, Halle Bailey, Taraji P. Henson and Danielle Brooks help the story along amid all the singing and dazzle. (Digital purchase or rental; in theaters)

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,’ 1 nomination:

Welcome to an animated high-octane comic-book sequel that manages to work. Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) is a 15-yearold better able to deal with his crime-fighting powers. Spider-Gwen is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. By sequel, we mean the first half of the first sequel to “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”There’s your cliffhanger alert. (Digital purchase or rental; Netflix; in theaters)

‘May December,’ 1 nomination:

The breakout star of Todd Haynes’ tense “May December” is Charles Melton. He’s the May to Julianne Moore’s December, with a whole lot of Natalie Portman thrown in. Inspired by the Mary Kay Letourneau case, Moore plays a ripped-fromthe-headlines woman who went to prison over an affair with a seventh grader she later marries. Portman’s character comes for a visit as she studies how to play Moore in a movie. Things, as they say, fall apart. (Netflix; in theaters)

‘Rustin,’ 1 nomination:

Who engineered the 1963 March on Washington? Bayard Rustin, somebody lots of people knew nothing about before Colman Domingo came along in George C. Wolfe’s “Rustin.” With verve, Domingo digs into the experience of a Black gay man in the racist and homophobic 1960s. Cameos abound: Jeffrey Wright, Adrienne Warren, Kevin Mambo, Audra McDonald, Chris Rock, Glynn Turman. (Netflix)

‘20 Days in Mariupol,’ 1 nomination:

A joint production by

The Associated Press and PBS’ “Frontline,” the documentary has been met with critical acclaim and an audience award at the Sundance Film Festival. AP journalist Mstyslav Chernov directed the movie from 30 hours of footage shot in Mariupol in the opening days of the Ukraine war. (Digital purchase or rental; pbs.org, PBS app)

‘The Boy and the Heron,’ 1 nomination:

Dreamy and enthralling, director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli do it again. Well. The beautifully animated Japanese fantasy “The Boy and the Heron” has young Mahito late in World War II mourning the death of his mother and encountering a talking and ornery gray heron he can’t get rid of. And there’s a very important tower. (In theaters)
