The Oscars are just under one month away and many are wondering if any of the nominated films are available to stream on Netflix.

As it turns out, there are quite a few of this years nominees that fans can watch on Netflix, and a few others available on additional streaming sites.

Many of the nominees, such as The Post (Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell) are too new to be streaming anywhere just yet, but they will possibly be available before the end of 2018.

As was previously reported, Jimmy Kimmel, the host of ABC's late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, will be handling hosting duties at this year's Oscars ceremony.

Kimmel hosted the awards show last year as well, his first time doing so, and received high praise, especially in regard to how calmly and smoothly he handled the fiasco of La La Land being named Best Picture when it was actually Moonlight that had won.

It has also been confirmed that the Academy Awards will take place on March 4th, at 8 p.m. ET, which is a full 30 minutes earlier than many of its prior telecasts.

Scroll down to see which Academy Award-nominated films you can watch right now on Netlfix, as well as some additional films that are available elsewhere.
