This year's Academy Awards will be held Sunday, March 4th. Did you have a chance to see all of the Best Picture nominees in the theater? If you're like most people, probably not--but fear not, most of them are available on DVD at MHL! (A few have not yet been released on DVD--check back in a few months for those stragglers!) Here's the list of this year's Best Picture nominees, with a link to place a library hold on it when available.
Update: Congratulations to The Shape of Water for winning Best Picture of 2018!
