Even with social distancing restrictions, this year’s awards season continues to make headlines. The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on April 25, more than two months later than last year’s ceremony. The awards will recognize films released during a year in which movie theaters were largely closed.
Streaming services, which were already on the rise as an awards-season presence, are poised to dominate in April, both with their own productions (like Netflix’s “Mank”) and with traditional studio films that were released through streaming platforms because of the pandemic (like Searchlight Pictures’s “Nomadland,” which is streaming on Hulu).
And while some films are sadly not available to catch online, there are plenty of nominees that are, with the streaming platform giving us access to some of the years most-talked-about pieces of cinema.
