TCM's 31 Days of Oscar Giveaway #1 (Ends Sunday)

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats to winner Heather~~

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is commemorating the Academy Awards legacy with its annual 31 DAYS OF OSCAR® festival in February! The 2011 edition of the month-long event will feature more than 340 Academy Award®-nominated and winning movies, scheduled in trivia-inspired marathons. In addition, each night will feature a Best Picture Oscar winner at 10 p.m. ET.

The annual event is hosted by TCM host Robert Osborne, who is also the official biographer of the Academy Awards and the Academy's red carpet greeter. It started on February 1st leading with Eskimo (1963) and Citizen Kane (’41) and will conclude with Jane Fonda’s California Suite on March 3rd. Check out the interactive schedule below for a complete list.



Welcoming its 17th year on Turner Classic Movies, 31 Days of Oscar, the 2011 edition features several high-profile films making their debuts on TCM, including three Best Picture winners: Cavalcade (1933), Amadeus (1984) and Forrest Gump (1994). It also includes the TCM debuts of the blockbusters Pretty Woman (1990) and Thelma & Louise (1991), as well as outstanding dramas like Hugh Hudson's Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), Hector Babenco's Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (1989) and Michael Mann's Ali (2001).

Among the month's many interesting marathons are a collection of films starring Jack Nicholson, the most nominated performer of all time; four films that received nominations in all four acting categories; an entire day featuring all ten Best Picture nominees for Hollywood's Golden Year, 1939, including Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz; a day of romantic comedies on Valentine's Day; a night of Oscar firsts; a slate of films that earned Best Director nominations but failed to earn Best Picture nods; and a night of films that earned participants posthumous nominations.

The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2010 will be presented live on Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center® and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation will also be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.
