Catching up with Oscar: Checking out the nominated films from the comfort of home

The Academy Awards will be handed out on Sunday. Are you caught up on the major nominees?

Some of the nominated films are still going strong in theaters, notably the modern musical “La La Land,” which has 14 nominations (tying the record held by “All About Eve” and “Titanic”), and the historical drama “Hidden Figures,” with three nominations. “Lion” (six nominations) and “Fences” (four nominations) are harder to find but are still hanging on to some screens. A surprisingly large number, however, are already available to watch at home.

Here’s an easy guide to what you can see and how you can see them.
