What movies to watch on Amazon Prime Video:
It's officially Oscars season, meaning you need to prepare for your Academy Awards betting ballot by watching as many of the movies as possible. Amazon Prime Video has many of this year's nominated films available to rent or buy on their service.
Spike Lee is hoping to capture his first Oscar win with the movie "BlacKkKlansmen," starring John David Washington and Adam Driver as policemen who infiltrate the Klu Klux Klan. The film mixes moments of weighty reflection on race in America with hilarious comedic interplay between Washington and Driver. You can rent the movie for $5.99 on the Prime Video platform. The movie was nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Original Music Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing.
If you are looking for something lighter to watch with the family this weekend, Amazon Prime Video is offering movies like "Black Panther" or "Incredibles 2," available to rent for $3.99. "Black Panther" was one of the biggest movies of the year, and is nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Music Score, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, Best Production Design, and Best Sound Editing at this years Oscars. "Incredibles 2," the sequel to the 2004 legendary Pixar animated epic, is nominated for Best Animated Feature Film.
Finally, if you want an informational and inspiring true story, "RBG" is available to rent for $4.99 on the platform. This film documents the incredible life and career of Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg as she smashes countless glass ceilings in the legal world, inspiring women everywhere. Beyond her unmatched accomplishments in the legal realm, my favorite part of the film was when when we were given a sneak peak of the 85-year-old's current workout routine, emphasized by her "Super-Diva" workout gear.
