Where to Watch the 2018 Oscar Nominees Online, from 'Baby Driver' to 'War for the Planet of the Apes'

Early Tuesday morning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 2018 Oscar nominations. Though the frontrunners for Best Picture, including Lady Bird, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Post, The Shape of Water and Phantom Thread are still playing in theaters, and therefore unavailable to stream, plenty can be watched online.

Here's your guide to all the Oscar-nominated films available on streaming services. Unless a film appears on HBO Go or Netflix, you'll have to shell out some bucks to watch but a lot less than you would have seeing it at the multiplex.
