Classic Movies





The 80th Academy Awards

Welcome to the annual Classic Movies Salute to Oscar®. For classic movie fans, this is one event that ties the past to the present. Though we may not admit to a love for many of the new films, most of us will be in front of the TV set on Sunday, February 24, 2008, when the envelopes are opened. And we're all very pleased that the Writers Guild strike has been settled so the ceremony will be held in all its pageantry and ultimate silliness.

There are lots of places on the Web where you can find Oscar info -- including this site. For example, do you know what films swept the Oscars? Can you descramble anagrams for these best pictures and famous performers? Warm up with these tests of your film knowledge from the Classic Movies feature archives, then move on to the following collection of Oscar tributes, reviews, and predictions, beginning with the official site.

Click here for a printable ballot that you can use on Oscar night to keep track of the major awards or to make your own picks in advance, from Oscar.com.

Not interested in this year's nominees? Would you rather see a list of winners from the first three decades or so? Start with the winners of the major awards from 1927 to 1939, then move on to the 1940s, the 1950s, and the 1960s.
