Awards on-demand: Where can I watch the 2014 BAFTA nominees online?
James R | On 24, Jan 2014
From The Selfish Giant to A Field in England, 2013 was a great year for British film – especially for British films on-demand. Ben Wheatley’s supernatural Western broke barriers to become the first film simultaneously released on VOD, cinemas, DVD and TV, while Clio Barnard’s moving drama led the launch of the new BFI Player.
A Field in England may not be nominated, but this year’s awards line up showcases the raft of British talent involved in the industry – whether that’s Framestore’s visual effects in Gravity or Steve McQueen and Chiwetel Ejiofor’s powerful work on 12 Years a Slave. And with an increasing number of movies available on-demand earlier than ever, you can now finally catch up with a considerable number of them before the awards are dished out on Sunday 16th February.
Missed Blue Jasmine in cinemas? It’s out on DVD the morning after the ceremony – but you can download it from 3rd February. Never seen Wadjda? It’s already available on-demand. The same is true of Britain’s smaller releases, with Good Vibrations, Kelly + Victor and Shell all well worth a rent – and all available to do so.
And so, after rounding up where you can watch the Oscar nominees online, we present a guide to the British award contenders available on-demand.
