There’s no better way to judge the success of a movie or actor than to consider how many Oscars they have to their name. The truth is, even just a nomination is enough. The Academy Awards, presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, are fast building up to their centennial year, and 2024 will be the 96th time that all the best movie makers of the world will gather in hopes of being crowned the year’s best entertainer. 

This year’s Oscars will be hosted at the Dolby Theater, otherwise known as the home of the Academy Awards. It’s undoubtedly the best place in the world to experience films with the vivid color of Dolby Vision and the captivating sound of Dolby Atmos because the 3200-seater cinema is fine-tuned by the masters of the Dolby experience themselves. 

Unless you’ll be one of the 3200 people at the theater on March 10th when the awards take place, one of the most immersive experiences you’ll have of the Academy Awards is on a Formovie projector, complete with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision certification. You’ll be able to see, from the comfort of your living room, who the best actors and what the best movies of 2023 are, and who will be walking away with an Oscar in 2024. 

This blog will highlight all of the best movies of 2023 that have been nominated for an Oscar, as well as where you can watch them in the build-up to the Academy Awards on your Formovie projector. Don’t have a Formovie projector yet? Not to worry, we’ll also explore which projector is the best option for you based on your viewing options. 

Who Are the Nominees for the 2024 Oscars?

As mentioned above, being nominated for an Oscar is almost as big of a deal as actually winning one… Almost. All of the actors, directors, and animators in the list below created nothing short of masterpieces last year, so even if your favorite doesn’t win, you can have an incredible experience of trying to figure out who will when you watch the movies for yourself. This list also includes the nominees for the best animated feature film, so you also have the option to make this a family affair.
