Movie up for Oscars Best Picture 'deserved twice as many nominations' and is available to watch for free ahead of awards

A fan-favorite film that's up for Best Picture at this weekend's Oscars is available to stream for free.

Ahead of most awards ceremonies, the movies up for awards sometimes disappear off the face of the earth — or you have to pay a small fortune to rent them online (cough, Marty Supreme).

But, there are some Oscar-nominated movies that are streaming ahead of the awards that are set to take place on Sunday.

The movies up for Best Picture this year are: Bugonia, Frankenstein, F1, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners, and Train Dreams.

So far, the jury is out as to who will take home one of the biggest prizes of the night. While Deadline and The Los Angeles Times has put their money on One Battle After Another, Variety thinks that Sinners will prove victorious.

The news outlet does think that The Secret Agent should win, however, and a lot of people agree. Others have also argued that movie – which stars Narcos actor Wagner Moura – should have received more nominations.

"The Secret Agent should totally win the Best Picture Oscar. It shouldn't even be close. What a masterpiece... and I loved a lot of the others," somebody said on Twitter.

"I think The Secret Agent might win Best Picture at the Oscars," said another.

A third added: "I want Secret Agent to win the most but Sinners will probably win, which is also an incredible movie."

Arguing The Secret Agent should have got more than four nominations, another film fan wrote: "The Secret Agent deserved twice as many Oscar nominations as it received."

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, you'll be pleased to know that the critically acclaimed movie is currently streaming on Hulu, having dropped on the platform on March 1 – just in time for the Oscars.

The synopsis for the film, per IMDb, reads: "In 1977, a technology expert flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown of Recife in search of peace. He soon realizes that the city is far from being the refuge he seeks."

As well as being up for Best Picture, Moura has been nominated for Best Actor. He's up against Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ethan Hawke.

Other 2026 Oscar-nominated movies that are available to stream for free include Frankenstein and Train Dreams (Netflix), One Battle After Another and Sinners (HBO Max), Hamnet (Peacock), and F1 (Apple TV).
