Hollywood’s biggest night is just a few weeks away and now we know who all of the major players are.

Nominations for the 97th Academy Awards were announced in January. 23 awards categories honor films released theatrically between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

Despite a handful of snubs and surprises, the roster of films being honored this year are quite the well-rounded mix; there are a handful of biopics, two big musicals, animated fare, sci-fi horror representation, and, of course, one 3.5-hour epic.

While not every movie is available to stream online yet, Prime Video has the most comprehensive library of Oscar nominees available from both its on-demand store and its library of channel add-ons that offer free trials.
