The annual Academy Awards show airs Sunday (6 p.m. Central on ABC), with eight films vying for an Oscar. If you haven't caught them yet, there's time before the red carpet rolls.
While top contender "The Revenant" is available only in theaters, you can buy or rent the other seven online and binge watch to your heart's content from your couch. In addition to Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon, we checked YouTube, Google Play and iTunes and found most offered. Older rentals cost about $5; the more recent the release, the higher the price.
Another power-watching plan: Some AMC theaters will screen four films in an 11-hour marathon Best Picture Showcase Saturday starting at 10 a.m. A $35 pass gets you in to "Brooklyn," "Spotlight," "The Martian" and "The Revenant." The other finalists were featured last week. (Check listings.)
Here's the rundown:
"The Big Short" The comedy infused take on the recent recession and collapsed housing market is still in theaters.
"Bridge of Spies" Find this Tom Hanks Cold War spy thriller in one metro-area theater through the weekend — Mann Hopkins Cinema 6, in Hopkins.
