If you're dying to watch Oppenheimer following its big night at the Oscars, then look no further. The Christopher Nolan-directed drama is available to stream right now on Peacock—which isn't quite the same as IMAX, sure, but it gets the job done.

Oppenheimer was nominated for 13 Oscars at the 96th Academy Awards, taking home the top prize of Best Picture over The Holdovers, American Fiction, The Zone of Interest, Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, Poor Things, Past Lives, Anatomy of a Fall, and Maestro. The World War II-era drama also won Best Director, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Score (Ludwig Göransson).

"Movies are just a little bit over 100 years old,” Nolan said during his acceptance speech for Best Director at the Oscars. "We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to know that you think I’m a meaningful part of it means the world to me."

For a three-hour-long historical drama, Oppenheimer defied audience expectations. The film rode the popularity boost from the Barbenheimer hype and shattered its initial box-office projections to gross over $950 million. Part of the alchemy that propelled it to such heights? That Nolan treated J. Robert Oppenheimer as the controversial and transformative figure that he was. The physicist developed the destructive nuclear force that eventually ended World War II, killing hundreds of thousands of people in Japan. Oppenheimer felt immense guilt for his creation, regretting what became of his pursuit of science. Nolan doesn't shy away from the knots in his retelling to powerful effect.

Oppenheimer also won five Golden Globes, eight Critics' Choice Movie Awards, six BAFTAs, the People's Choice Award for Drama Movie of the Year, and three Screen Actors Guild Award. Meanwhile, Swedish producer and composer Ludwig Görannsson's score won a Grammy. "Thank you to all the theaters... and everybody else at IMAX for believing in this movie when it maybe didn’t make that much sense to do so," producer Emma Thomas said during her acceptance speech for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. "As a moviegoer and as a filmmaker, that’s why we do what we do."
