Where to stream the Oscars and nominated movies From "Mank" to "Judas and the Black Messiah" to "AT&T TV" FacebookTwitterEmail The Oscars will air April 25, 2021, at 8 p.m. EDT. If you want to stream them, and the movies that are nominated, you have your work cut out for you – but why would you bother? The Oscars are just a bunch of malarky, right? Well, sorta. They’re definitely not a real “award show,” as in the movie that wins “Best Picture” is rarely the best film to come out that year (and if it is, it’s a coincidence). Instead, the ceremony is an advertisement for the movie industry. Movies about movies (This year: “Mank”) or movies that cover a timely issue (This year: “The Trial of the Chicago 7” has obvious parallels to the biggest news stories of 2020) have a huge advantage.
