Where to find 2019 Oscar nominees and winners on Showmax

The much-anticipated Academy Awards 2019 nominations were announced by Black-ish actress Tracee Ellis Ross and winner of last year’s Best Original Screenplay for Silicon Valley Kumail Nanjiani.

Of course, as is expected, in that old Oscars fashion, there were a few snubs, shocks, and surprises – and yes, Wakanda Forever as Black Panther became the first superhero movie to receive a Best Picture nomination.

Drum roll please… here are the Oscars 2019 nominees and winners that you can find on Showmax.

Succession, directed by Adam McKay (first episode), follows the filthy rich, dysfunctional Roy family and their quest to dethrone the patriarch who is unwilling to let go of his media empire and relinquish his power to his children, even after a death scare that puts him in a coma, instead pitting them against each other – and tearing them down whenever he has the chance. Succession is streaming exclusively on Showmax. Watch now »
