2010 Oscar Movies On Netflix, OnDemand, on DVD, on Comcast


With the number of On Demand movies from cable services, airplane flights, hotels, Netflix, Blockbuster and the Amazon Video on Demand Service, there are so many ways to view the 2010 Oscar Winner Movies. Here's my list as of March 2010 of where to watch the 2010 Oscar Winner Movies including those movies on Netflix. Also, I think Netflix is a great deal for $8.99 per month + tax (1 DVD at a time). Here are the reasons:
  • You can currently rent 5 2010 Oscar Winners on DVDs including the 2010 Best Picture, The Hurt Locker
  • 20 Oscar Nominees including Precious, Up in the Air, The Cove, Inglorious Bastards and Up.
  • You can even watch 3 Oscar Nominees instantly on your PC or on your TV if you have a Roku box or other Netflix device. These movies include Food Inc, Paris and Il Divo.
See the below list of the Oscar movies you can watch on Netflix as well as other services including Comcast, Dish and Amazon Video. I have also included the estimated DVD release date which gives you a general idea of when you can expect to see these movies on the various On Demand services.
