Plot Synopsis

Each year since 1995, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has scheduled 31 consecutive days of its programming to showcase and honor Oscar-nominated and winning films and performances. From 1995 through 2003, TCM aired 31 DAYS OF OSCAR during March as a monthlong tribute to the ACADEMY AWARDS, because the Oscars were held toward the end of the month. In 2004, the ACADEMY AWARDS were moved to late February, so TCM moved 31 DAYS OF OSCAR one month earlier, starting on February 1, continuing for a full 31 days into the beginning of March. Since 2004, the ACADEMY AWARDS have been held late February or early March, and TCM has started 31 DAYS OF OSCAR on February 1 each year.
