[limited]

The Oscars are Sunday and if you're looking to catch up on the nominees, most of them are streaming. Our top suggestions begin with the best-picture nominees “Nomadland (on Hulu and available for digital rental) สล็อตxo the West-wandering tale of itinerant travelers; "Sound of Metal" (on Amazon Prime), a piercing drama of deafness and addiction; "Promising Young Woman" (available for digital rental), the provocative revenge drama; and "Minari" (available for digital rental), the achingly tender Korean-American family drama. Also recommended: the lushly animated Irish animated film “Wolfwalkers” (on Apple TV +); the songs of “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” (on Netflix); the probing investigative Romanian documentary “Collective” (on Hulu, and for rental elsewhere); the joyous disability rights documentary “Crip Camp” (on Netflix); and the artfully composed “Time" (on Amazon Prime), a documentary about incarceration but also the best love story of the year.


- Anna Kendrick, Toni Collette and space is a solid recipe for any film. In “Stowaway,” debuting Friday on Netflix, they play researchers on a two-year mission to Mars who, shortly after liftoff, discover a stowaway (Shamier Anderson) on the ship. The film is directed and co-written by Joe Penna, who previously directed the survival film “Arctic,” with Mads Mikkelsen.


- When the first “Mortal Kombat” film adaptation was released in 1995, gamers were quick to note that it was largely missing one main ingredient in the popular video game: blood.
