Oscar darling Poor Things is coming to Hulu next week
The Oscar-nominated film Poor things coming to Hulu in the US on March 7. This means you have just enough time to watch it before the Oscars broadcast on March 10. If you are anywhere else in the world, you can already rent or buy it Poor things via Amazon’s Prime Video or Apple TV Plus. It will also release on Disney Plus in other regions, but there’s no official confirmation on when that will be.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (The lobster, the favorite), Poor things is based on a 1992 novel by Scottish writer Alasdair Gray. It follows the story of Bella Baxter (played by Emma Stone), a woman living in Victorian London who receives a brain transplant from scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) and later embarks on a journey of self-discovery with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo) to assert her independence.
The film has been nominated in 11 categories at the 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Lead Actress and Director. The film already won the Golden Globe for best film – musical or comedy in January, when Emma Stone also won a trophy for best actress in a musical or comedy.
Where can you watch the rest of the Oscar nominees?
If you want to catch up on the rest of the Best Picture Oscar nominees before March 10 rolls around, here are the top streaming services where you can currently find some of our favorites.
American fiction is one of our top picks in this year’s lineup of Best Picture nominees. It follows the story of a frustrated writer and professor who writes a hard-hitting satire on stereotypical ‘black’ fiction. However, the stereotypes he creates are taken seriously and highly praised. You can currently buy American fiction on Prime Video and Apple TV Plus in the US and stream it on Prime Video in Australia. Sorry British viewers, you can’t get your hands on it yet.
Barbie is currently streaming on Max in the US and you can rent or buy it elsewhere on Prime Video. Although the Golden Globes snubbed Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, it was an incredibly fun film that made some smart, sharp observations about our patriarchal culture throughout its entertaining journey.
You will find Killers of the Flower Moon on Apple TV Plus. This epic tale from Martin Scorsese follows the story of the brutal murders of Osage Nation members and the subsequent cover-up in a dark and violent western crime drama film.
