It’s that time of the year when everyone is talking movies. With awards being doled out on both sides of the Atlantic, we’re offering you the chance to see the hottest movies, animated films and most nominated talent of the season. If you’ve not had a chance to catch Oscar-nominated films on the big screen, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
From now through to July, there’s a wide selection of Oscar-nominated films across all categories on board, with choices for everyone. We’ve got the best offerings from both sides of the Atlantic with some of the UK’s finest film offerings, including this year’s award-season darling The Favourite (nominated for Best Picture, Lead Actress, Supporting Actress, and Director) available from March, which leads the pack with 10 Oscar nods.
