The 94th Academy Awards are announced on March 27, when Hong Kong cinemas will have been closed for almost three months. Some of this year’s nominees, including Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic Dune and Ryusuke Hamaguchi ’s critics’ darling Drive My Car did score a release before the closure, while others went directly to streaming, including Best Picture front runner The Power of the Dog , and Screen Actors Guild best ensemble winner CODA . Locally, there is still no sign of big hitters like Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast , Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza , or Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley . International titles like Joachim Trier’s The Worst Person in the World , Pedro Almodóvar’s Parallel Mothers , and Danish animated documentary Flee remain equally elusive. Nevertheless, 34 of this year’s 53 nominated features and shorts are currently available to stream legally in Hong Kong, including the following.
