31 Days of Oscar *Closed*

All month long Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has hosted it’s annual 31 Days of Oscar leading up to the Academy Awards.  This year’s edition of the month-long even will feature 360 Academy Award®-nominated and winning movies, all presented uncut and commercial-free. The 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 began Monday, Feb. 1, with Kevin Bacon and James Coco in Only When I Laugh (1981). Coco and Harry Andrews were then featured in The Man of La Mancha (1972) that followed by Andrews in 55 Days at Peking (1963). The festivities are continuing 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.  Below, I’ve included the entire schedule:

TCM host Robert Osborne, who is also the official biographer of the Academy Awards and the Academy’s red carpet greeter, will host 31 Days of Oscar, which will mark its 16th year on Turner Classic Movies. The 2010 edition will feature 22 films making their debut on TCM, including Gladiator (2000), Titanic (1997), Mrs. Brown (1997), A Room with a View (1985), Trading Places (1983), Frances (1982), Only When I Laugh (1981), Alien (1979), Julia (1977), Serpico (1973), Lady Sings the Blues (1972), Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967), An American Dream (1966), Morituri (1965), Summertime (1955), Call Me Madam (1953), The Snake Pit (1948), Moonrise (1948), Kiss of Death (1947), Kitty (1945), Alexander’s Ragtime Band (1938) and One Hour with You (1932).
