Two Oscar-Nominated Films Join Netflix This Week
Netflix added two movies this week that earned Academy Award nominations in the last decade.
“Silver Linings Playbook” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” both joined the streaming service on March 16.
The former earned eight Oscar nominations in 2013, including for Best Picture, and Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Actress award for her performance. And the latter, espionage-centric movie earned three nominations in 2012.
As more and more Americans self-distance during the spread of the coronavirus, these movies are a welcome addition to the Netflix library. For more options on what to watch now, check out an article I wrote two months ago about movies to stream on the service. Netflix changes its library frequently, so a few of them are gone. But the list should still serve as a good starting place.
You can read more about “Silver Linings Playbook” and watch the trailer below.
