Oscars 2017: how to watch the nominated movies, from Arrival to Zootopia

The 89th annual Academy Awards announce their winners this Sunday, February 26, so if you want to catch up on the nominees — the better to know when to celebrate and/or roll your eyes during the ceremony — you’ve got a couple days left to do so.

Most of the major nominees are still in theaters, including favorites like 14-time nominee La La Land and eight-time nominee Moonlight. But there are also several nominees from last year that you can check out without having to venture to the multiplex.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
