From February 1st to March 2nd, Turner Classic Movies is showing only movies that have won an Oscar, or that have been nominated for an oscar. All day. All night. And the movies chosen will span the history of the Oscars, from the 1920's to the 2000's. (http://www.tcm.com/ for more details.)
TCM plans on having certain eras represented during certain nights of the week ...
- Mondays will feature Oscar movies from the 1920's and the 1930's
- Tuesdays will feature Oscar movies from the 1940's
- Wednesdays will feature Oscar movies from the 1950's
- Thursdays will feature Oscar movies from the 1960's
- Fridays will feature Oscar movies from the 1970's
- Saturdays will feature Oscar movies from the 1980's
- And Sundays will feature Oscar movies from the 1990's and the 2000's
Daytimes will feature different themes, for example, today's theme was sci-fi and tomorrow's theme will be journalism.
I encourage all movie fans to turn away from the garbage that is Deal or No Deal, Moment of Truth, the Biggest Loser, and every crappy thing that passes for entertainment on VH1 and MTV. Grab the remote. Turn the channel. Watch Turner Classic Movies for the rest of this month. You will not be disappointed.
