It's Oscars season and there are a lot of movies to watch this year — and that means you've got some work to do if you want to pretend you know what's up!

The 94th Academy Awards will be hosted by Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall and will air on Sunday, March 27 at 8:00 p.m. EDT/5:00 p.m. PDT. You can watch the Oscars live on ABC in the U.S. or CTV in Canada.

This will be the first time the Oscars will have a host since since 2019, when Kevin Hart was forced out of the gig over his past homophobic tweets. This year's show will also have a new producer, so you can expect them to play around with the format once again.

How can you prepare for the Oscars? By watching the top movies ahead of time, of course.

Here's how to watch every film that's nominated for Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars from the comfort of your couch, whether you're in the United States or Canada.
