31 days of oscar TCM, beginning at 7 p.m.
A long, spectacularly epic movie production always seems likely to get at least some attention when it comes time for the Academy Awards, and the three films airing tonight during Turner Classic Movies’ 31 Days of Oscar are good examples of that. The evening begins with “Spartacus” (1960), which runs nearly three and a half hours and was nominated for six Oscars, winning four, including Best Supporting Actor (Peter Ustinov). Next, clocking in at nearly four hours, is “Ben-hur” (1959), which won a whopping 11 of the 12 Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Picture, Actor (Charlton Heston), Supporting Actor
(Hugh Griffith) and Director (William Wyler). “Ben-hur” reigned alone for decades as the movie with the most Oscar wins ever until it was eventually matched by 1997’s “Titanic” and 2003’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” Tonight’s final acclaimed epic feels like a quick watch next to the first two: “Quo Vadis” (1951), which runs just a bit under three hours. It was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture and two Supporting Actor nods (Ustinov and Leo Genn).
