TCM’s 31 Days of Oscar

Yesterday the  Academy Award  nominations were announced, so what better time to remind our WAMG readers about Turner Classic Movies annual 31 Days of Oscar ® festival. From Feb. 1st – March 3rd  you can catch up on some  films that you may have missed along your way to becoming a true movie geek. The entire month is filled with 360 Oscar winning or nominated greats  of the silver screen.  Ones to set your DVR/TIVO for are  SHANE, ON THE WATERFRONT, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, BEN HUR, and  FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. I like that Mickey Rourke’s HEAVEN’S GATE  and DINER are the last two films of TCM’s annual festival.  Click here to see TCM’s entire schedule on their new, cinemascope-like site.

Co-hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, the 82nd Annual Academy Awards will air LIVE on Sunday, March 7 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on ABC.
