How (and where) to watch Oscar-winning films (mostly) online

Full of mesmerizing versatility, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” topped the 95th Academy Awards with the biggest wins, including Best Picture and a historic win for Michelle Yeoh. Family tales permeated 2022 cinema and winners this year, as did big-budget blockbusters (even if they were denied top honors Sunday night).

Even the Oscars are streaming now — you can find the star-studded ceremony on Hulu. Some of the winning films are still in theaters, but most are now available online to stream with a subscription or as digital rentals. Here’s where you can watch many of the 2022 Oscar-winning movies:
