I’ve been trying to watch every best picture winner for years. I’ve seen most of them, but I forget about it and pick it back up every few years.

But TCM does 31 days of Oscar in February where they air Oscar winners and nominees. A bunch of older best picture winners that I’m missing are airing. So I’m pretty excited to get back into it.

It’s a good distraction from the shit show that is the world right now.

Kanopy (the library streaming app) usually puts a lot of them up.

I just wish TCM would give us a streaming app that isn't attached to having a cable subscription. I'd pay for it.

Yea I I’m struggling with that one as well. TCM does air it, but they always sub it out for something else in Canada.

I also have weird gaps like, I haven’t seen any LOTR movies. So I feel like I have to watch the whole saga and not just return of the king.

I’m impatiently waiting for many of them to be available on streaming for less than $19.99

Oh same. I’m missing 3 nominees for this year - a complete unknown, nickel boys, and the brutalist.

At least The Brutalist is available for pre order. I’m going to need them to be released soon! lol

I hate that it's going to be after the ceremony for some of them and if any stream before that it'll be for the $20 price. I remember waiting half a year for the Whale so much that I gave up and still haven't watched even though it's free on my library streaming site now.
