So does that mean you can watch “Killers of the Flower Moon” on Apple TV+ right now? Yes! It’s poised to be a major player at the 2024 Academy Awards, and it’s finally available for all to stream. Among the most nominated films of the year (after “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things”), “Killers of the Flower Moon” snagged 10 nominations including best picture, best director, best actress for Lily Gladstone and best supporting actor for Robert De Niro.
