Can We Have Oscar Movies on DVD from Netflix? Pleeease???

Sue Millinocket | March 23, 2010

Providing DVD dates for the Big Movies.  A Public Service just for you.

 

I know – I feel it, too.  I want to know when I can get all the big Oscar movies on DVD from Netflix.  Well, how about I tell you!  Lots are already released (more nominees, fewer releases to theaters at the last minute).  The dates for others are out there, some have only estimates.  Let’s just have them all in one place, shall we?

Best Picture Nominees:

Up (also Best Animated film win) - Currently available on DVD (released November 10, 2009) and at Netflix

Inglourious Basterds (also Best Supporting Actor Win for Christoph Waltz and Best Director nomination for Quentin Tarantino) - Currently available on DVD (released December 15, 2010) and at Netflix

District 9- Currently available on DVD (released December 22, 2009) and at Netflix

The Hurt Locker (also Best Actor nomination for Jeremy Renner, Best Director Win for Katherine Bigelow) - Currently available on DVD (released January 12, 2010) and at Netflix

A Serious Man- Currently available (released February 9, 2010) and at Netflix

Up in the Air (also Best Actor nomination for George Clooney, Best Supporting Actress nominations for Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga, Best Director nomination for Jason Reitman) - Currently available on DVD (released March 9, 2010) and at Netflix

Precious (also Best Supporting Actress Win for Mo’Nique, Best Actress nomination for Gabourey Sidibe and Best Director nomination for Lee Daniels)  - Currently available on DVD (released March 9, 2010) and at Netflix

The Blind Side (also Best Actress Win for Sandra Bullock) - DVD release date set for March 23, 2010 (hey, that’s tomorrow!)

An Education (also Best Actress nomination for Carey Mulligan) -  DVD release date set for March 30, 2010

Avatar (also Best Director nomination for James Cameron) - DVD release date set for April 22, 2010

Additional titles with acting nominations:

Julie & Julia (Best Actress nomination for Meryl Streep) - Currently available on DVD (released December 8, 2009) and at Netflix

The Lovely Bones (Best Supporting Actor nomination for Stanley Tucci) – DVD release set for April 20, 2010

Nine (Best Supporting Actress nomination for Penelope Cruz) – DVD release date set for May 4, 2010

The Messenger (Best Supporting Actor nomination for Woody Harrelson) – DVD release set for May 18, 2010

Crazy Heart (Best Actor Win for Jeff Bridges, Best Supporting Actress nomination for Maggie Gyllenhaal) – Estimated DVD release date of April, 2010

A Single Man (Best Actor nomination for Colin Firth) – Estimated DVD release date of May, 2010

Invictus – (Best Actor nomination for Morgan Freeman, Best Supporting Actor nomination for Matt Damon) – Estimated DVD release date of May, 2010

The Last Station (nomination for Helen Mirren as Best Actress and Christopher Plummer as Best Supporting Actor) – DVD release estimated for June, 2010

Netflix tends to have movies available on the day they are released on DVD – I’ll be hoping to have The Blind Side in my mailbox by the weekend.  There might be a wait for that one, but I’m guessing it won’t be long.

Interesting that so many of the Best Picture nominees are already out, but many of those with nominated performances have yet to set dates.  I don’t know what that means (probably nothing) but it is interesting.  Okay, maybe just to me.

So there you have it, DVD watchers!  Lots of this year’s Oscar Biggies are already out there and others are arriving very soon.  Most have or will have both regular and Blu-Ray versions available.  If there’s a movie I missed, leave a comment and I’ll try and find out when you can get your hands on it.  Let’s watch us some movies!
