Chloé Zhao's celebrated drama Nomadland was one of the best films of 2020 and has emerged a champion of the 2021 awards season. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it took home the Golden Lion (the fest's top prize), before scooping up the People's Choice Award at TIFF, Critics Choice Awards, BAFTAS, Golden Globes, and ultimately, the Oscars for Best Actress (Frances McDormand in her second win), Best Director (Zhao), and Best Picture.

Which is all a very long and fancy way of saying you don't want to miss this one! So if you're wondering how to watch Nomadland, if it's still in theaters, and where you can stream or rent the film online, here's a handy guide.

Good news! Nomadland is one of the few theatrically released 2021 Oscar winners that you can already watch on a streaming service. Nomadland is currently streaming on Hulu, and available with all subscriptions. A regular Hulu subscription will cost you $5.99 per and the ad-free subscription costs $11.99 per month - but if you're not sure about committing to a full sign-up or you really just want to see Nomad, both are available for a free month-long trial to new users.
