The New York Film Critics Circle Awards just wrapped announcing their picks for 2014, including blockbusters like The LEGO Movie along with smaller films that pack an emotional punch, like Boyhood, which took home the top prizes.

With awards season underway, the NYFCC announced which films of the year are the very best in their respective categories: Best Film, Best Screenplay, etc., along with their own “Special Award,” which went to MoMA curator Adrienne Mancia. How much their picks influence the Golden Globes and the Oscars is debatable, but the ceremony has consistently honored films outside of the annual popularity contest; reiterating those they choose have been thoroughly, and critically analyzed as most deserving.

This year, you can stream some of the winners from the comfort of your home and catch up on the awards season contenders without having to venture out to the theater. Here’s where you can stream the NYFCC Award winners available on VOD platforms.

BEST ACTRESS: Marion Cotillard, The Immigrant; Two Days, One Night

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood

To say Arquette was an emotional powerhouse as Mason’s mother, Olivia, is an understatement.
