The biggest night in Hollywood is upon us. That's right, the 88th Academy Awards is set to air on Sunday, and we couldn't be more excited to see which stars will be going home with the gold, and which will be left to sulk into their high-end gift baskets at the after party.

We expect Leonardo DiCaprio to finally take his home his very own golden statute for The Revenant, which we also predict will take home the award for Best Picture. But you can't expect to rightfully cheer — and drink — along at home without first having seen all the nominated films. There is still enough time to go on a serious Oscar binge-watching marathon to get you prepared.

Just don't expect to be able to stream all the nominees. Unfortunately, The Revenant is not available to stream just yet, and probably won't be available until the film is about to be released for Blu-ray.

However, movie buffs can still go check it out in theaters. Other movies that are only available in theaters include Room, Brooklyn, Carol, The Danish Girl, Joy, The Hateful Eight and Creed.

That doesn't mean you still can't get your stream on with these other titles. It's still important to add that while Netflix and Amazon Prime members will be able to stream some of these titles for free as part of their subscription, other titles are only available to rent or buy as a digital download.

Cue the applause track, put on your best pajamas and pop the champagne, because here's where you can stream the 2016 Oscar-nominated films.
