Robert Osborne and my friend, Joe Buonocore

As many of you know, I am a major film buff and a big fan of Turner Classic Movies.  February is TCM's annual "31 Days of Oscar" month where they devote the entire month to Oscar nominated and Oscar winning films.

Robert Osborne is the genial host of the channel.  He is an author of books on the history of the Academy Awards, a columnist for the Hollywood Reporter and a great guy.

TCM has a wonderful website found here:

www.tcm.com

They also have a wonderful message board community found here:

As part of all that, TCM is hosting a web-cast only of Robert Osborne answering questions from this forum:

This is the first time that TCM has announced a web-cast with their distinquished nightly host.  So, follow the link above to the TCM forums, register an account, sign on and ask Robert Osborne a question about the Oscars, about the movies or about the stars of the classic studio era.

I'll keep you posted as to when the web-cast will be.

And we have some exciting news about TCM coming up in a couple of weeks as well, so stay tuned.
