#FIRSTLOOK: OSCAR NOMINEES AND WINNERS AVAILABLE NOW ON PRIME VIDEO CANADA

From heavy hitters like five-time Oscar winner Anora for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress in a Leading Role to fan favourites The Brutalist, Wicked, and Conclave, and more, Prime Video has you covered.

Anora

A young escort from Brooklyn meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

The Brutalist

After surviving the Holocaust, Hungarian-Jewish architect László Tóth emigrated to the United States after being forcibly separated from his wife, Erzsébet, and niece, Zsófia, in Budapest during World War II. He goes to Philadelphia, where he is given permission to stay with his immigrant cousin, Attila and his American wife, Audrey while he searches for work.

Wicked

In the Land of Oz, the citizens of Munchkinland celebrate the death of the Wicked Witch of the West. Glinda the Good tells the Witch’s story: born from an affair between the wife of then-Governor Thropp and a traveling salesman, she was rejected from birth due to her green skin, which caused her to suffer a troubled childhood. When asked if she and the Witch were friends, Glinda replies that they knew each other and reflects on their past.

Conclave

When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church.

A Real Pain

Mismatched cousins reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother, but their old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

The Substance

A fading celebrity takes a black-market drug: a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.
