The 2024 Oscars are just days away, which means it is time for Turner Classic Movie's annual 31 Days of Oscar celebration. Running from February 9 to March 10, Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated movies are going to be played practically non-stop, from some of its earliest winners like Joanne Crawford in Mildred Pierce to more recent honorees like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and plenty in between. To make things easy for you, we're laying out the entirety of TCM's 31 Days of Oscar schedule for you in this post.
This marks the 30th year that TCM has done the 31 Days of Oscar.
