Re: TCM Oscar documentary
I'm glad it showed my top-two-all-time-favorite Oscar moments, the Lifetime Achievement Award to Charlie Chaplin and Michael Moore's acceptance speech for Bowling For Columbine. The Chaplin award I have only seen on video, as the live presentation was before my Oscar-watching time, while I had the privilege to watch the Moore speech in real time.

Re: TCM Oscar documentary
I watched it.
It was OK, but at 90 minutes it didn't cover much. Interviews with Helen Mirren, Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Fonda and others were all things we've heard before. There seemed to be just as many clips of films that didn't win Oscars, The Searchers; Rosemary's Baby, among them, and too few scenes of Oscar ceremonies. You get more out of the clips at the Academy website or on YouTube.
A for effort, but C for execution.
