10 Movies You Can Stream This Weekend to Get Ready for the Oscars

If you love movies, pop culture or red carpet style, this weekend is your Super Bowl. It’s the grand finale of awards show season: the Oscars. And this year looks like it’s going to be memorable. It’s been a highly politicized year in film, what with #OscarsSoWhite and news regarding the limited types of roles for women who win Oscars in film, so that’s sure to play out in host Chris Rock’s quips. The movies nominated for Best Picture this year are all very different, so all bets are off. To get you all pumped up for your Oscar-viewing party, we’re rounded up a list of previous nominees, winners and this year’s contenders. Now, you’ve only got a couple days to watch as much Oscars material as you can, so get streaming! The winner for best weekend plans goes to…

This Year’s Nominees

1. Spotlight: An all-star cast — Rachel McAdams, Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Liev Schreiber, Stanley Tucci, to name a few — carries this moving film about a team of journalists at the Boston Globe who uncovered the Catholic Church’s child molestation scandal. It’s nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Tom McCarthy), Best Screenplay and Best Film Editing. Both Ruffalo and McAdams are also nominated for their work. (Image via Open Road Films)

2. Steve Jobs: The biopic paints an intricate portrait of the man underneath the turtleneck who revolutionized technology. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen and Jeff Daniels in an unflinching look at the man who brought us our beloved Apple products. Both Winslet and Fassbender are nominated for their work in the film. (Image via Legendary Pictures)

3. The Martian: The nail-biting film stars Matt Damon as an astronaut abandoned on Mars who must find a way to get back home. The film was directed by Ridley Scott, who also did Prometheus and Alien. So if you’re a fan of either Matt Damon or dystopian flicks, it’s a must-see. It’s nominated for seven awards including Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Lead Actor for Damon’s role.

4. Ex Machina: It seems like a weird choice for an Oscar nomination, but the sci-fi movie keeps you on the edge of your seat with unexpected twists and turns. Not to mention, it was without a doubt one of the year’s most intricately written scripts. It stars some of this year’s biggest names, like Alicia Vikander (also in The Danish Girl), Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac (both of Star Wars fame). It’s up for Best Screenplay and Best Visual Effects. (Image via Universal Pictures)

5. What Happened, Miss Simone?: One of the OG Netflix originals, the story of Nina Simone is a fascinating film that every music lover should watch. The life story of one of the 20th century’s most unique and iconic voices also examines racial and mental health issues of the time. It’s up for Best Documentary and has already won awards at three other festivals. (Image via Netflix)

Last Year’s Big Winners

1. Birdman: Last year’s big Oscar winner was packed with an A-list cast: Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Edward Norton and Zach Galifinakis. Keaton stars as an actor fading into obscurity and dealing with life’s big questions. It won Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography. Watch it, and you’ll see why every single one of those wins was well-deserved. (Image via Fox Searchlight Pictures)

2. Boyhood: Starring Ethan Hawke as the dad you wish you had, Boyhood was a pioneering film, shot over 12 years. Although the movie lost “Best Picture” to Birdman, Boyhood swept at many other awards shows. Last year, Patricia Arquette won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and made one of the most memorable Oscars speeches of all time. (Image via IFC Films)

Academy Award Classics

1. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Often considered one of the best pictures of all time, Ang Lee’s smash hit glamorized martial arts and put 19th century China on everybody’s radar. The Taiwanese film made history in 2000 when it was nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Film. It received 10 nominations in total and won for Best Cinematography, Best Foreign Film, Best Art Direction and Best Music. (Image via Sony Pictures)

2. Good Will Hunting: For everybody who’s rooting for Matt Damon to win Best Actor this year, go back in time to 1997 when he won for Best Writing, along with Ben Affleck. Robin Williams also won an Oscar for his work in the film. It was up for a total of nine nominations including Best Picture, but it lost out to The English Patient. (Image via Miramax)

3. Annie Hall: According to many film critics, this film starring Diane Keaton and Woody Allen is as iconic as films come. It’s a constantly referenced movie that masterfully explores every aspect of love: the good parts, the bad parts and the hysterical parts. When it was nominated in 1978, the film won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Diane Keaton also won for Best Actress. (Image via United Artists)

4. Roman Holiday: Audrey Hepburn first came to the public eye as a runaway princess opposite Gregory Peck. The film is still as charming, witty and romantic as it was when it came out. Somehow, it manages to feel simultaneously modern and like a time capsule from the ’50s. When the film was nominated in 1953, it won Best Writing and Best Costume Design, while Hepburn took home a win for Best Actress. Plus, it was nominated in seven other categories.

When any red carpet rolls around, there are certain couples we can pretty much always count on to show up looking cuter than ever. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend… But anyone who’s ever seen a tabloid knows that celebrity couples often have a relatively short lifespan. And so when we decided to look back at the red carpet couples of the past, we rediscovered a whole bunch of duos we totally forgot ever existed. These stars are incredible on their own, but even more powerful together. Scroll on down to take a look at all the now-Hollywood exes who made us do a double take.

Juliette Lewis + Brad Pitt

We tend to think of Angelina and Jennifer as Brad’s two big loves, but before them (and Gwyneth) came Juliette Lewis. The two dated for four years when they were both on the cusp of total stardom. These two just might be tied with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss as the most ’90s couple that’s ever existed.

Michael Jackson + Brooke Shields

A budding supermodel and a global pop sensation? It’s kind of a Hollywood match made in heaven, just like Brooke's curls. That dress on the other hand? We’re not so sure.

Matthew Broderick + Jennifer Grey

As much as we’d like to believe Sarah Jessica Parker was Matthew Broderick’s one and only, this couple makes a lot of sense. The two were both the main characters in epic teen ’80s movies – we’ll just forget about the fact that they played brother and sister in one of them…

Jake Gylenhaal + Reese Witherspoon

Dang, why didn’t this couple work out again? Oh right, probably because that much wonderfulness packed into one couple would make the world explode. But they sure did look good together!

Drew Barrymore + Corey Feldman

Feldman once said that his first date with Drew was arranged by her mother when she was 10 and he was 14, because apparently Barrymore had a huge crush on him. They later dated briefly (this time for real) in 1989, when Drew was a teenager. Unfortunately, he was heavily into drugs during that time and she was trying to stay sober after multiple stints in rehab, so it didn’t last long.

Winona Ryder + Christian Slater

Here’s to hoping this relationship ended a little more amicably than it did for their Heathers characters.

Julia Roberts + Kiefer Sutherland

It was supposed to be one of the biggest Hollywood weddings ever, and then all of a sudden, Julia called it off. Tragic. At least we have this red carpet moment to remember the couple by.

Stacy Keibler + George Clooney

Now that Amal is in the picture, it’s hard to imagine George with anyone else. But before that British vision of elegance came Stacy Keibler, the stunning professional wrestler and George’s beau for two years.

All it takes is a few episodes of Nobody Wants This to realize it's one of the best rom-coms of the year — and that Adam Brody is still super hot. The series, which also stars Kristen Bell, has gone viral for everything from its hilariously relatable approach to dating to "the best kiss of all time" to how eloquently it explains the fear that we're too much for a romantic partner. With an 8.1 out of 10 on IMDb, a 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and literally millions of TikTok views, it's no surprise the show was just renewed for a second season. Here's everything we know about Nobody Wants This season 2.

Is there going to be a season 2 of Nobody Wants This?

Stefania Rosini/Netflix

Yes on October 10, Netflix announced that Nobody Wants This will be coming back for season 2. And (spoiler!!!) now that Joanne and Noah have decided to be together, and Noah's decided to give up his position as Head Rabbi, I have a feeling they'll have to deal with a lot of opinions. (Namely, Noah's mother).

"Creating Nobody Wants This will forever be a career highlight for me," creator Erin Foster says in a statement. "The incredible cast, crew, producers and executives all made this into the show it is today, and to experience viewers' reactions to this series now that it's out in the world has been more than anything I could have dreamed. I’m so lucky to be able to continue this story, and to do it alongside Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I've been such a fan of since Girls... Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!”

When is Nobody Wants This season 2 coming out?

Netflix

We know season 2 is coming out in 2025, but stay tuned for an official Nobody Wants This season 2 release date.

Who's in the cast of Nobody Wants This season 2?

Netflix

The Nobody Wants This cast includes Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Stephanie Faracy, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Michael Hitchcock, Jackie Tohn, Sherry Cola, Shiloh Bearman, and Emily Arlook.

Does Nobody Wants This End on a Cliffhanger?

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Nobody Wants This might not end on the same kind of thrilling, dramatic cliffhanger as Outer Banks season 4 part 1, but it definitely leaves us with a ton of questions. How will Joanne and Noah's families react to the news? What does life look like as a couple? Will Joanne be able to flaunt their relationship in front of all the teenagers? No matter what comes, these two are very much in love, and I can't wait to see them continue to heal and grow together.

We've known for a decade that Selena Gomez can command any scene she's a part of. (Hello Wizards of Waverly Place!) And the entire world is starting to take notice thanks to her newest movie, Emilia Pérez. The musical thriller, which hits Netflix this fall, won both the Jury Prize and Best Actress Awards at Cannes in May 2024. We finally have the Emilia Pérez trailer, and it looks just as stunning and emotional as Cannes audiences promised it would be. Here's everything you need to know about the new 2024 movie.

What is the film Emilia Pérez about?

This new musical thriller, from writer & director Jacques Audiard, is split into four acts as it follows four women in Mexico. At the center of the story, cartel leader Emilia (played by Karla Sofía Gascón) gets the help of lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) so she can fake her death and live her truth. It bends genres, defies expectations, and is just as gritty as it is beautiful.

Where can I stream Emilia Pérez?

Netflix

Emilia Pérez will premiere in select theaters November 1, 2024. The movie will hit Netflix on November 13, 2024.

If you need an instant mood boost, cute dresses are the way to go. Nothing brings me joy like putting on an adorable mini or a flowy maxi, especially on days where I might not feel my absolute best. It's a special challenge to not only find cute dresses that fit my vibe, but also my body – to a tee. If there's one place I'm shopping for cute dresses for my curves, it's Amazon – and they have so many styles available right now. Scroll on for 12 cute dresses I found that will flatter your figure (and mine) for an unbeatable price!

Amazon

Ewedoos Tennis Dress

Nothing snatches you up quite like a workout dress. This stretchy, shaping mini supports your figure with built-in shorts (they have side pockets!) and a removable bra, which also help add coverage where you need it most. It even has adjustable straps that cross in the back for an eye-catching factor when you're not layering up with a cardigan or jacket.

Amazon

Prettygarden Swiss Dot Ruffle Dress

This pleated maxi dress undoubtedly draws attention to the girls, if you catch my drift. The upper half is thoughtfully designed with an empire waistline to elongate your torso and emphasize your bust, while the ruffled tie-up collar really, well, ties it all together. You'll fall in love with the soft, flowy texture of this subtly-dotted dress the moment you put it on!

Amazon

Prettygarden Wrap Flowy Dress

A wrap dress is gonna do it every time. Whether you're a plus-sized baddie or a petite gal, the waist-hugging nature of wrap dresses help give your body shape. I love that this one is more modest around the neckline, too, so you don't have to worry about tussling with major slips throughout the day. The pleated skirt and wide puff sleeves give it some real flirty flair that you can wear confidently anywhere!

Amazon

Cupshe Cutout Self-Tie Long Dress

More fit for the summer season – but equally stylish for fall – this maxi dress accentuates your waist to a tee. The twisted front detail is met by a playful open back design that lets you show some skin, all while looking ahh-mazing. This breezy number also comes in tons of colors and patterns to match your exact vibe!

Amazon

IHOT Faux Wrap Bodycon Dress

From the ruching along the sides to the tapered skirt, this bodycon dress means business. Though most skin-tight dresses give the impression of being entirely too uncomfortable, this one has just enough stretch to give you ample breathing room! The v-shaped neckline is big bust-friendly, as is the pencil skirt for bigger booties. No matter your body type, you will look on fire.

Amazon

Blencot Short Sleeve Square Neck Split Midi Dress

Milkmaid dresses are where it's at, y'all! This one's full of feminine flair, thanks to the fitted bodice, puff sleeves, and tie-up front. The midi-length skirt even features a high-cut leg slit for a dash of sexiness (and breathability). This pick will look just as cute with casual sneakers as it will with tall fall boots!

Amazon

Dokotoo Elegant Bow Tie Mini Dress

If you're on the shy side to show your arms completely, this fluttery mini is just the perfect piece to add to your dress collection. The flowy, oversized sleeves provide the ideal amount of coverage while still being stylish enough to amp up your outfit. The length is flattering all around, plus it boasts a cute little bow on the front for visual appeal!

Amazon

BTFBM Long Sleeve Ruffle Boho Dress

I think I just found my next fall dress. The ruffles! The sleeves! The florals! It's all working for me. This dress' flowy skirt will pair well with riding boots and a denim jacket for a cute-but-casual ensemble.

Amazon

The Drop Lana Maxi Slip Dress

I fear you can never go wrong with a slip dress. From curvy to straight body types, they just look utterly timeless and modelesque. Plus, slip dresses are fairly basic, so you can have fun dressing them up to your liking! This deep red color is the perfect hue for the season – it'll surely turn heads. Plus, the fit of this piece is meant to "follow the body," so it won't be too loose nor too tight.

Amazon

Prettygarden Spaghetti Strap Long Dress

This maxi dress is gonna become your go-to on days you don't necessarily want to wear pants, but still have to dress up a bit. The loose fit around your tummy and legs is super comfy, plus you won't have to worry about any coverage woes since the dress is quite long! The squiggly contrasting trim adds a youthful vibe to what would've been a very plain black maxi, which is always welcome for the sake of the 'fit check!

Amazon

Luxely Spaghetti Strap Angled Tiered Maxi Dress

Simple and chic – just the way I like it! This dress has the best of both worlds. I love the extra details via the side ruching and tiering on the maxi skirt, too. It'd be perfect for brunch parties, baby showers, and every special occasion in between!

Amazon

Sidefeel Button-Down Denim Dress

Denim dresses reign supreme, come fall. This one isn't just your ordinary denim dress, though: it's fitted with fun ruffled sleeves, buttons up along the front, and has plenty of interesting seam work to keep your look fresh.

Sound the fashion alarms because the GAP x Cult Gaia collection is here! I haven't been this excited to shop since H&M dropped their sold-out fall collection — I'm still heartbroken over that TBH, but it's okay! So you don't end up missing out on all the hottest pieces, I picked my top 10 GAP x Cult Gaia items that are begging to be added to your wardrobe. But a little warning: don't wait too long because it looks like all the fashion girls are snatching this collection up without a second thought!

GAP

Asymmetrical Denim Maxi Skirt

There are only a few sizes left of this peek-a-book denim maxi skirt, and I can see why. It's an elevated take on the traditional maxi skirt that's sure to give your fall look a sexy, stylish edge. Pair it with a thin turtleneck sweater or a tailored white button-up shirt along with a pair of cute Steve Madden boots!

GAP

Cargo Barrel Pants

Anyone who knows me understands I have an affinity for wearing oversized cargo pants. This pair has the semi-grunge appeal I love because it can be dressed up or down depending on your preference. It goes without saying, but they deserve some boot action to truly set them off!

GAP

Wool Mini Dress

The GAP x Cult Gaia collection wouldn't be complete this fall without something wool, so they added this cute mini dress for good measure. You can wear it over a cream knit sweater and pair it with a pair of leopard print flats to create a look that feels trendy.

GAP

Leather Jacket

This spicy leather jacket is for the gal who isn't afraid of a little cold because they know the hotness factor of their fall outfit will make up for their bare belly. All jokes aside, I don't have much to say about this one except I need it ASAP.

GAP

Leather Pants

While I'm thinking about it, I should probably buy these sexy leather pants for a cute monochromatic moment! I think I have the perfect wool coat to go with them too!

GAP

Cutout Maxi Dress

This is the date night dress the GAP x Cult Gaia fall collection knows you've been waiting for. It's going to hug every curve you have while giving a little cutout action that will make your beau's breath get caught in their chest.

GAP

Vegan Fur Coat

Vegan fur coats are IN, according to GAP and Cult Gaia! I can't say that I blame them because this will make any casual outfit look cute.

GAP

Backless Classic Shirt

This is one of those "business in the front, party in the back" shirts, and I LOVE IT. Beautiful, give me 10 more!

GAP

Cropped Cardigan

This cropped red cardigan is sure to complete my "I'm turning into a sexy bibliophile" look and I'm not mad at it. I can see myself wearing this while curled up with a good book in my office, or while I'm out to grab lunch with a friend.

GAP

Sheer Wool Sweater

You and I can't go wrong with a wool sweater, especially if it's a little sheer. I'm in my spicy era, so I think a little see-through moment can't hurt anyone — especially when paired with some dark indigo jeans on a chilly night out.
