Where to See Oscar-Nominated Films in Denver

‘Tis awards season again, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences has spoken from the mountain top and revealed who they deem worthy of potentially taking home the Oscar, the naked little bald statuette that seems to mean so much to so many in the film industry. Did the Academy get it right this year? Many say no; you can follow the #OscarsSoWhite tag to see what people are thinking about this year’s slate. They're hoping that Oscar host Chris Rock will address this elephant in the auditorium when he opens year 88 of the big Academy Awards show on Sunday, February 28.

To see the full list of nominees, go to oscar.go.com/nominees. And here's where you can see those nominated films, starting tonight:
