TCM 31 Days of Oscar
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will go full circle with its annual 31 DAYS OF OSCAR® festival in February. The 2010 edition of the month-long event will feature 360 Academy Award®-nominated and winning movies, all presented uncut and commercial-free. The month’s schedule is designed so that each movie is linked to the next movie in the lineup through a shared actor or actress.
31 DAYS OF OSCAR will begin Monday, Feb. 1, at 6 a.m. (ET) with Kevin Bacon and James Coco in Only When I Laugh (1981). Coco and Harry Andrews will then be featured in The Man of La Mancha (1972) at 8:15 a.m., followed by Andrews in 55 Days at Peking (1963) at 10:30 a.m. The festivities will continue linking from movie to movie, one star at a time, throughout the month. The final movie in the festival, Diner (1982), starring Bacon, will bring the entire month full circle.
For some Oscar fun you can go to TCM’s site. I like the mood widget they have, you pick a mood they show an old classic that matches!:
Personally I LOVE the Oscars. I don’t know what it is but that day the celebs are just so beautiful and perfectly groomed and they are all in one place. I stock up on popcorn and put everyone on notice that I am going to need someone else to take care of the kids LOL. I try to guess who is going to win every year and don’t do so hot. Some people that I think totally deserve to win never get picked. Like Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth. She was AMAZING.
Do you have any Oscar traditions?
