Quick Preview of TCM in February: 31 Days of Oscar

The annual 31 Days of Oscar festival, which features films which have been nominated for or won Academy Awards, returns to Turner Classic Movies in February.

The series will begin on TCM on Saturday, February 1st, and run through Monday, March 3rd.

There are a few titles yet to be announced, but the majority of the schedule is now available to peruse.

This year the films will be grouped in a variety of ways, from nomination categories such as Best Picture or Best Song to films featuring teachers, boxers, royalty, reporters, or eccentric characters (think HARVEY).  (Update: A kind TCM employee has informed me that the prime time theme each evening is "Oscar-worthy performances," using the various character "types" to showcase them.)

As usual, the regular TCM franchises such as Noir Alley and Silent Sunday Nights will take a break during February.

The 2025 Academy Awards ceremony will be shown on ABC on Sunday, March 2nd, just before 31 Days of Oscar ends.

I'll have more details on the complete 31 Days of Oscar schedule posted here around the end of January. In the meantime, the January Star of the Month will be George Raft.
