And that's not the only Best Picture at your fingertips: Almost all of the winners from the past nine decades are a mere click away on digital video platforms or streaming services. Whether you want to revisit your favorite winners or fill your personal gaps in Oscar history, Yahoo Entertainment’s comprehensive streaming guide has you covered.

2022: Everything Everywhere All at Once

You don't need to be Doctor Strange to visit the multiverse. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan take that delightfully surreal journey in 2022's most surprising blockbuster.
Where to stream: Everything Everywhere All at Once is currently streaming on Paramount+ with a Showtime subscription.

2021: CODA

Sian Heder's lovingly crafted family drama became the first Sundance film — and the first streaming release — to win the Best Picture statue. That's definitely something to sing about.
Where to stream: CODA is currently streaming on Apple TV+.

2020: Nomadland

Chloé Zhao won her first Oscar — the second female filmmaker to take home the Best Director statue — and Frances McDormand won her third for this compelling portrait of a contemporary nomad. While the film's Big Sky backdrops cry out for the big screen, McDormand's lived-in performance packs a punch whether you're in a theater or you're living room.
Where to stream: Nomadland is currently streaming on Hulu.

2019: Parasite

After 92 years, a foreign-language film finally took home the Best Picture statue, and the Academy couldn’t have picked a better movie to make history than Bong Joon-ho’s gripping social satire. As cleverly constructed as any Coen Brothers yarn, and as superbly orchestrated as any Steven Spielberg thrill ride, Parasite is a film that can and will speak to audiences around the world for years to come.
Where to stream: Parasite is currently streaming on Hulu.

2018: Green Book

Viggo Mortensen drives Best Supporting Actor winner Mahershala Ali through the Deep South in the early ’60s and learns to become a better person along the way. Co-written and directed by Peter Farrelly, Green Book emerged as the controversial consensus pick in a crowded Best Picture race that included Roma, Black Panther and A Star Is Born.
Where to stream: Green Book is currently available to rent or purchase on Apple TV and Vudu.

2017: The Shape of Water

Guillermo del Toro’s lovingly crafted creature feature goes all-in on its unlikely romance between a woman and a fish god (Sally Hawkins and Doug Jones). It’s The Creature From the Black Lagoon by way of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and just as swoon-inducing as that sounds.
Where to stream: The Shape of Water is currently streaming on Hulu.

2016: Moonlight

Even after the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Moonlight‘s Best Picture win fades from memory, Barry Jenkins's vividly-realized coming of age story will rank among the most important — and very best — films to take home that statue.
Where to stream: Moonlight is currently streaming on Hulu.

2015: Spotlight

The heir to All the President’s Men scoops up the award its predecessor missed out on. Come for the A-list cast, stay for the thrill of what classic shoe-leather reporting looks like.
Where to stream: Spotlight is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2014: Birdman

Sure Black Panther is the first comic book movie based on a pre-existing superhero to score a Best Picture nod. But Alejandro González Iñárritu’s eccentric treatise on art and commerce is technically the first superhero movie to win the top prize… with a former Batman as its star, no less.
Where to stream: Birdman is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

2013: 12 Years a Slave

Steve McQueen’s brutal, harrowing dramatization of former slave Solomon Northup’s experience in the pre-Civil War Deep South remains painful, but necessary viewing.
Where to stream: 12 Years a Slave is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2012: Argo

Ben Affleck’s political thriller plays fast and loose with the history of the Iran Hostage Crisis, but that third act airport escape is genuinely edge-of-your-seat fare.
Where to stream: Argo is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

2011: The Artist

Eight decades separate the only two silent films to win Best Picture. Technically, The Artist has one spoken word, but that doesn’t detract from Michel Hazanavicius’s careful recreation of a vanished Hollywood or Jean Dujardin’s Oscar-winning performance.
Where to stream: The Artist is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2010: The King’s Speech

Let’s be honest: The Social Network probably should have won this year. But The King’s Speech does feature a career-apex star turn by Colin Firth, and has more dramatic meat than your typical prestige period picture.
Where to stream: The King’s Speech is currently streaming on PlutoTV.

2009: The Hurt Locker

Kathryn Bigelow made history as the first female filmmaker to win the Best Director Oscar, but the movie’s Best Picture win was a pretty big deal as well. Made on a miniscule budget, this pulse-pounding Iraq War drama proved to be the David that took down that Goliath known as James Cameron’s Avatar.
Where to stream: The Hurt Locker is currently streaming on Tubi.

2008: Slumdog Millionaire

Danny Boyle traveled to India and returned with a crowd-pleasing hit that proved to be the Academy’s final answer for that year’s Best Picture.
Where to stream: Slumdog Millionaire is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2007: No Country for Old Men

Best Coen Brothers movie ever? There’s a strong argument to be made in its favor, with or without the Best Picture statue. (But the statue definitely helps.)
Where to stream: No Country for Old Men is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2006: The Departed

Martin Scorsese turns the lean, mean Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs into a sprawling and totally seductive Boston-based crime epic. Watch one scene, and you’re in for the whole ride.
Where to stream: The Departed is currently streaming on Prime Video.

2005: Crash

Love it or hate it, Paul Haggis’s controversial race-relations drama does feature an ensemble of terrific actors (including Oscar nominee, Matt Dillon) wrestling with still-timely material.
Where to stream: Crash is currently streaming on Hulu.

2004: Million Dollar Baby

Clint Eastwood enters the Best Picture ring for the second time with a boxing drama that starts off like a modern-day Rocky only to take a tear-jerking turn.
Where to stream: Million Dollar Baby is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Peter Jackson’s trilogy-capper remains the only “Part 3” to win a Best Picture statue. But really, it’s the culmination of an epic 12-hour movie, one that thrilled Middle-earth fans and first-timers alike.
Where to stream: The Return of the King is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2002: Chicago

Rob Marshall’s jazzy adaptation of the long-running Broadway favorite kick-started the return of the movie musical, complete with razzle-dazzle production numbers and chart-worthy songs.
Where to stream: Chicago is currently streaming on HBO Max.

2001: A Beautiful Mind

Ron Howard and Russell Crowe team up for a biopic that mostly prizes inspiration over authenticity. But with a gross of nearly $200 million, it clearly inspired a whole bunch of people.
Where to stream: A Beautiful Mind is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

2000: Gladiator

Ridley Scott’s Roman epic is the blockbuster he and Russell Crowe were born to make together, combining the spectacle of ’50s swords-and-sandals adventures with 21st century digital tools.
Where to stream: Gladiator is currently streaming on Paramount+.

1999: American Beauty

A critical and commercial hit in its initial release, American Beauty is perhaps best enjoyed today as a turn-of-the-millennium time capsule, filled with performances (and plot points) that reflect how much the times have changed.
Where to stream: American Beauty is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

1998: Shakespeare in Love

Sure, Saving Private Ryan has that masterful Omaha Beach sequence, but Shakespeare in Love boasts an equally masterful Tom Stoppard script, plus a delightful ensemble headed up by Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes.
Where to stream: Shakespeare in Love is currently streaming on Paramount+.

1997: Titanic

James Cameron’s sweeping star-crossed romance made the world safe for Leonardo DiCaprio stans, “I’m the king of the world” jokes and Céline Dion ballads.
Where to stream: Titanic is currently streaming on Prime Video.

1996: The English Patient

1993: Schindler’s List

Steven Spielberg’s transition from blockbuster hit machine to elder statesman of historical epics began in earnest with this World War II drama, which depicts in stark terms how a civilized nation can turn a blind eye to suffering and horror when the ruling party reaps the profits.
Where to stream: Schindler’s List is currently streaming on Prime Video.

1992: Unforgiven

For Westerns, there’s before Unforgiven and after Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood’s best movie as a director (and actor) profoundly impacted the genre going forward, leeching all of the romance out of playing cowboy.
Where to stream: Unforgiven is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

1991: The Silence of the Lambs

One of the few horror films to be nominated for Best Picture — and still the only one to ever win — Jonathan Demme’s masterful adaptation of Thomas Harris’s bestseller pairs well with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Where to stream: The Silence of the Lambs is currently streaming on Tubi.

1990: Dances With Wolves

These days, Kevin Costner’s sprawling Western is probably best remembered for beating out the superior Goodfellas for Best Picture. What it lacks in edge, it makes up for in scope and generosity of spirit.
Where to stream: Dances with Wolves is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Where to stream: Driving Miss Daisy is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman’s odd, but believable brother act is the engine that powers Barry Levinson’s smoothly assembled drama.
Where to stream: Rain Man is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Nearly 20 years before American Beauty, this Robert Redford-directed drama mined the fissures in a seemingly picture-perfect suburban family.

Where to stream: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

1974: The Godfather Part II

Where to stream: The Godfather is currently streaming on Peacock.

1971: The French Connection

Popeye Doyle’s desperate car chase through the New York City streets may be The French Connection‘s most famous sequence, but the greatest accomplishment of William Friedkin’s gritty cop thriller is how raw and vital it feels decades later.

George C. Scott commands the screen from the first frame to the last as the iconic World War II general.
