The Academy Awards nominations were announced Tuesday, Jan. 23, with the usual amount of surprises and snubs.

The good? Sterling K. Brown for best supporting actor in "American Fiction," along with Jeffrey Wright for best actor in the same film. And, of course, "American Fiction" getting a best picture nomination.

The bad? Greta Gerwig not getting a best director nomination for "Barbie." Margot Robbie not getting a best actress nomination for "Barbie." And while it's certainly not bad that Ryan Gosling got a best supporting actor nod for the film, it is ironic since it's a movie about patriarchy and overlooking women. (Yay for America Ferrera's nom for best supporting actress, though.)

"Barbie" did get a best picture nomination, though, as did nine other films. Here's a little bit about them and where you can see them.

'American Fiction'

Cord Jefferson's scathing satire is a brilliant takedown of political correctness, the publishing industry, performative progressiveness, you name it. Wright and Brown are great, but so is everyone else.

How to watch: In theaters.

'Anatomy of a Fall'

It's a domestic drama, a courtroom drama, a murder mystery — and an outstanding performance from Sandra Hüller, who scored a best actress nomination. (This will not be the last time we see her on this list.)

How to watch: In theaters and available to rent or buy on Apple TV+ and Prime Video.

'Barbie'

The movie that saved movies. Or something like that. Gerwig's direction is tremendous, and Robbie deserved a nod. Still, it's well worth watching, if only to find out why. (And yay for America Fererra, again.)

Where to watch: Streaming on Max.

'Killers of the Flower Moon'

Martin Scorsese's powerful (and powerfully long) film about white greed is a stunning achievement in filmmaking. That sounds like awards-show pabulum, but it's really true. Nominated for 10 Oscars, but a best actor nod for Leonardo DiCaprio was not among them. Lily Gladstone was for her stunning performance.

How to watch: Stream on Apple TV+.

'Maestro'

Bradley Cooper wrote, directed, and starred in a decidedly non-traditional film about Leonard Bernstein. It's suffering some awards-season backlash (no directing nod for Cooper, for instance, though he did get a best actor nomination), but it still managed to land here.

How to watch: Stream on Netflix.

'Oppenheimer'

The other movie that saved movies. One of the best films in a year of great ones, it received 13 nominations, the most of any film. It deserved them all, and more.

How to watch: Rent or buy on Apple TV+ or Prime Video.

'Past Lives'

Pause for applause. My favorite movie of the year, and it stinks that Greta Lee didn't get a nomination for best actress, and that Celine Song was overlooked for best director. Song was nominated for best original screenplay, at least.

How to watch: Rent or buy on Apple TV+ or Prime Video.

'Poor Things'

Emma Stone is unbelievable in Yorgos Lanthimos' freak-out film about ... well, just see it and find out. It received 11 nominations; most, like Stone's were not a surprise, but it was great to see Mark Ruffalo sneak in the best supporting actor list.

How to watch: In theaters.

'The Holdovers'

Old-school filmmaking with fantastic results. Paul Giamatti is as good as he's ever been (and that's saying something) as an angry hangnail of a classics teacher, stuck over holiday break with an unhappy student (Dominic Sessa, who easily could have been nominated) and the cook (Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who was nominated and will win).

How to watch: Streaming on Peacock. Hey, if you got it for the NFL playoff game, why not enjoy?

'The Zone of Interest'

A tough watch, but a rewarding one, about a Nazi family living just outside the walls of Auschwitz. As they blithely go about their day (the father is the commandant), the phrase 'banality of evil' is inescapable. A great, difficult film. And Sandra Hüller easily could have been nominated for this, too.

How to watch: In theaters.
