TCM

Turner Classic Movies’ 31 Days of Oscar celebration continues to be one of the best-loved annual network programming events. No matter when the Academy Awards ceremony is held on a given year, TCM has been there to celebrate Hollywood’s biggest night with a month of Oscar-nominated and -winning movie titles leading up to (and sometimes past) the Oscar ceremony.

This year the network offers a different spin, as it is putting aside the old cliché of “it’s an honor just to be nominated” to populate its 31 Days of Oscar lineup — airing March 1-31 (the Oscar ceremony is on March 27) — only with movies that have actually won at least one Oscar (including Honorary Awards).

That means every minute on TCM this month, you will be enjoying the best of the best of films that have been honored throughout the Academy Awards’ nearly century-long history, in an event divided by daily themes: Mondays are devoted to Oscar-winning films of the 1920s and ’30s; Tuesdays feature 1940s winners; Wednesdays, 1950s winners; Thursdays, 1960s winners; and Fridays, 1970s winners.

These weekday lineups go all day long. The weekends run a bit differently, with Saturday and Sunday daytime lineups consisting of winners in select categories (see below) from across all decades, culminating with Best Picture winners on Sunday, March 27, ahead of the Oscar ceremony. Saturdays beginning in primetime until early the next morning will feature 1980s winners, while Sunday evenings/early Monday mornings will spotlight winners from the 1990s and 2000s.
