31 DAYS OF OSCAR
March 3, 2018  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

We’ve come to the end of TCM’s massive celebration of Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated movies. The network’s "31 Days of Oscar” ends tonight, because the Academy Awards themselves begin tomorrow night. And on this last evening, “31 Days of Oscar” salutes, and presents, three sprawling, Oscar-winning epics about men who led a revolution. The action starts with the nonviolent social change of 1982’s Gandhi, starring Ben Kingsley as the peaceful social activist from India, at 8 p.m. ET. Then it proceeds at 11:30 p.m. ET to 1995’s Braveheart, starring Mel Gibson (pictured) as the face-painted Scottish warrior. Finally, it concludes, at 2:45 a.m. ET, with 1959’s Ben-Hur, starring Charlton Heston as a proud Jewish defender and warrior. The first two cinematic heroes defied British rule, and the final one opposed Roman rule and law.
