Academy® Award edition
This year, the program is selected from films that won Oscars®. Three were selected by our audience via a survey on this site late 2011. The awards won by each film are listed on this page.
Note that although every effort is made to avoid it, the program is subject to change without notice. However, if you are on our mailing list (click here), we will let you know if this happens.
The following program is as accurate as we can make it but it is possible there may be changes. Watch this site for any updates.
