With award season in full swing and Oscar night right around the corner, there’s never been a better time to catch up on all of those award winning films you never got around to seeing. Whether for sound or costume design, makeup or music, or the highly coveted Best Picture award, there is no shortage of fantastic Academy Award winners from the past 87 years.
We’ve taken it upon ourselves to round up all of the Oscar winners that are available to stream on Netflix. Yes, all 62 of them ranging in dates from 1927-2012. Between eight Best Picture winners (American Beauty, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, Forrest Gump, Amadeus, Around the World in 80 Days, The Greatest Show on Earth, and Wings), two awards for Christoph Waltz (supporting actor in both Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds), three documentaries (Undefeated, The Long Way Home, and Genocide), six foreign language films (Tsotsi, The Sea Inside, The Barbarian Invasions, Kolya, Journey of Hope, and Cinema Paradiso), and a whopping nine awards for The English Patient, the options of which winner to stream are simply endless.
If you’re more focused on the clothes and music than the story itself, you’ll be happy to note that eleven costume designs (Anna Karenina, The Aviator, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, Restoration, A Room with a View, Amadeus, The Great Gatsby, Love is a Many-Splendored Thing, The Robe, and Roman Holiday) and eight music scores (Finding Neverland, Frida, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Love is a Many-Splendored Thing, On the Town, and Anchors Aweigh) grace this list.
