Where to watch ‘Anora,’ ‘The Brutalist,’ and other Oscar favorites in Philadelphia-area theaters

If you were one of the people who looked at the nominees list at the Oscar ceremony Sunday night, and wished you would’ve watched more films, there’s good news. Yes, the Oscar season is over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still watch the nominees and the winners. Here are some of the films that are still playing in local theaters, and some now available on streaming.

Sean Baker’s romantic comedy drama about a young sex worker from Brighton Beach falling in love with the son of a Russian oligarch, took home five awards including best picture and best director. The film, which has made only $15.6 million domestically, is one of the lowest-grossing best picture winners in a while but that will probably change after the film’s Oscar sweep. “We are all here tonight because we love movies. Where did we fall in love with movies? At the movie theater,” Baker said while accepting the best director award. Several area theaters are playing the film featuring the newly minted best actress winner Mikey Madison.

The Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet may have left some Cape May residents dismayed, but you can still catch the film if you want to know more about the early days of Dylan’s career before his controversial choice to go electric at the Newport Folk Festival. The film was nominated for eight awards but did not take home any. Chalamet’s butter yellow Givenchy suit, however, grabbed the attention of the fashion conscious.

Brady Corbet’s epic saga about a Hungarian Jewish architect introducing Brutalist architecture to the Pennsylvania region is set in Doylestown but largely filmed in Hungary. Adrien Brody, who won best actor, plays architect László Tóth, who is commissioned to build a community center in Doylestown by a rich man named Harrison Lee Van Buren, who, the filmmakers said, was inspired by Albert Barnes, Andrew Carnegie, and other famous industrialists and collectors of the era.

Despite lead actress Karla Sofía Gascón’s controversial social media posts that ended up affecting Emilia Pérez’s 13-nomination Oscar run, the film did win Zoe Saldaña her first Oscar. The best supporting actress winner is the first for an American of Dominican descent. “My grandmother came to this country in 1961 — I am a proud child of immigrant parents,” she said. “With dreams and dignity and hardworking hands, and I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award, and I know I will not be the last.” The film also won for best song for “El Mal.”

Latvia won its first Oscar on Sunday thanks to Gints Zilbalodis’ animated feature Flow. The dreamy film starring Cat, a black cat who survives a deadly flood by jumping onto a boat with other animals, doesn’t use any dialogue. “I think you can express a lot more without words. Some of these emotions and ideas I couldn’t articulate with words, but with music, sound, movement, and editing, I can say a lot more,” the Latvian filmmaker said after receiving the award. The film was made using Blender, a free, open-source graphics software tool.

This Brazilian film is the first from its country to be nominated for the best picture award. While that award went to Anora, I’m Still Here won Brazil its first best international film Oscar.

Fernanda Torres, who plays Eunice Paiva, was nominated for best actress for her moving performance. The film, which faced opposition from the Brazilian far-right, is available for streaming and is playing local theaters.

In an evening of mostly nonpolitical acceptance speeches, the Israeli and Palestinian winners of the best documentary feature accepted their award with a defiant speech decrying the war on Gaza. “About two months ago, I became a father,” said Basel Adra, a Palestinian journalist and filmmaker, and one of the film’s four directors of No Other Land. “And my hope to my daughter that she will not have to live the same life I am living now, always fearing settlers, violence, home demolitions, and forcible displacements.”

The documentary, about the displacement of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, has not found a distributor yet but is playing locally.
