Where to watch this year’s awards-season contenders - Mov’in Bed Cinema
A Luxury Outdoor Cinema Made for Awards Season
If you’re searching for where to watch awards‑season films in Sydney, make it Mov’in Bed at Barangaroo — the city’s luxuriously laid‑back outdoor cinema set on soft white sand in Harbour Park, Central Barangaroo. With 150 plush beds facing Australia’s largest outdoor screen, it turns a night at the movies into a summer mini‑escape by the harbour.
Big-screen spectacle for big-screen films
With its vast outdoor screen and harbour backdrop, Mov’in Bed is built for spectacle — meaning visually rich, technically ambitious films hit even harder here.
Avatar: Fire and Ash
James Cameron’s world‑building epic remains one of the most visually ambitious films of the year. It earned a Best Visual Effects nomination, making it ideal for Mov’in Bed’s giant 4K screen.
Jurassic World: Rebirth
The dinosaur franchise returns with a large‑scale spectacle designed for an oversized screen — and Mov’in Bed’s beachfront setup makes the prehistoric action feel even bigger. Jurassic World: Rebirth is Oscar‑nominated for Best Visual Effects, cementing its status as a technical showcase.
One Battle After Another
A politically charged, emotionally rich thriller that has become one of the year’s biggest awards heavyweights. It scored 13 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actor (Benicio Del Toro & Sean Penn), Best Supporting Actress (Teyana Taylor), plus major craft nods. A must‑see title for awards‑season completists.
Hamnet
Chloé Zhao’s elegiac Shakespeare drama is a gorgeous match for an open‑air screening — and it’s a major 2026 Oscar contender: Best Picture, Best Director (Chloé Zhao), Best Actress (Jessie Buckley), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design and Best Casting.
