Oscars 2017: All nominated movies available at a click

All one needs is to take subscription of streaming sites like Amazon Prime, HBO now, Netflix and HULU and rent the movie of your choice.

From the weekend collections of the Oscar-nominated films in India, it looks like the reception to the English films has been half-hearted. According to Livemint, films like Moonlight, Silence and Hidden Figures have only managed to collect less than Rs 50 lakhs each despite the films having received rave reviews from critics.

Watching movies like Sparrows, submitted by Iceland would be more interesting. For movie buffs, the Best Foreign Language Film category will be the mother lode of treasures. About 60 countries have submitted films for the Best Foreign Language Film category 2017, including India. Visaranai, a Tamil film directed by Vetrimaaran and produced by Dhanush’s Wunderbar Studios was India’s official entry and is another must watch. However, it has not made it to the nominees’ list.

For starters, Australia’s submission Tanna can be rented from one of the streaming sites, similar to Sweden’s submission titled A Man called Ove.
