AND THE OSCAR GOES TO...
February 1, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

This 2014 documentary is a history of the Academy Awards – and presented, tonight on TCM, for viewers who might get more enthused about Oscar trophies than Super Bowl ones. At 10 p.m. ET, this documentary is followed by a showing of the first movie to win an Academy Award as Best Picture: the aviation WWI action picture Wings (pictured), from 1927. Only two silent motion pictures in history have won the Best Picture Oscar – this one, which won the year Hollywood began its transition to sound, and The Artist, which won in 2012, 85 years later.
