5 great Oscar-winning horror movies you should stream right now
Daniel Kaluuya as Chris in "Get Out."

For some reason, horror is still a bit of a taboo genre in Hollywood. It’s often seen as a way for studios to make some quick money while spending very little on production costs. But horror movies can be way more than just quick cash grabs. For example, 2017’s It grossed over $700 million, proving that horror isn’t some niche fandom but a valuable part of cinema. And yet, the genre often gets pushed aside and seen as inferior.

So it’s no surprise that only a few dozen horror movies have ever been nominated for Oscars, and out of those few dozen, many aren’t even strict horror films. They walk the tightrope between horror, drama, and thriller, like Black Swan, The Shape of Water, and Parasite. But there are a few horror classics that not only scored Oscar nominations but also won awards. Here are five Oscar-winning horror movies you definitely need to check out.

5 great Oscar-winning movies to watch on Disney+
Wall-E looks to the stars in Wall-E.

There are very few Academy Awards winners on Disney+, simply because Disney's live-action studio hasn't been nearly as successful at the Oscars as its animated counterparts have. There are a handful of special effects Oscar-winners on Disney+ like Star Wars and Avatar, or even winners of Best Song including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and more.

However, we've decided that the five great Oscar-winning movies to watch on Disney+ should be the ones that are winners of the Best Animated Feature award, which has only been given out since 2002. Between Disney and Pixar, Disney+ has 15 Oscar-winners in that category. We narrowed it down to five, and it's not a coincidence that all of our picks were made by Pixar. That studio has had some stumbles in the last few years, but their very best films embody heart and soul like few others.

F0r almost as long as there have been movies in theaters, there's been a need for special visual effects to bring them to life. However, it wasn't until 1938 that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences created an Oscar to recognize the people who create these visual delights. The Academy hasn't always given an award every year, but the Oscar for Best Visual Effects has been pretty consistently present since it was rebranded in 1977.

At tonight's 97th annual Oscars, there will be a new winner in the Visual Effects category. To mark the occasion, we're sharing our picks for the 7 Best Visual Effects Oscar winners of all time. These are the game-changing films that redefined what can be accomplished on-screen.
