In TCM's own variation of the popular parlor game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", the Channel presents its annual "31 Days of Oscar" salute in a fun format in which each film is linked by a common performer to the one showing after it. As always, every movie in the festival has either won or been nominated for an Academy Award. No films or connections are repeated, and Oscar comes full circle when the final film, Around the World in 80 Days is tied back to the first, Gigi by having that crucial cast member in common. And,yes, Kevin Bacon is one of the actors featured in this chain of connections! Throughout the salute -- running from February 1 through March 2 -- you can learn the names of the linked actors by visiting 31days.tcm.com
