This is the last full week of Turner Classic Movies’ annual 31 Days of Oscar. I feel like I should pick one of the many important Oscar winners airing this week. But since they’re airing Dick Tracy (1990) Saturday morning, I can’t resist making it my pick.

Filled with wonderful performances by Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and even Madonna, Dick Tracy isn’t one you’d typically think of when thinking of Oscar winners, but it did win three Oscars for Art Direction, Makeup, and Original Song. No other comic book movie has won that many. The Dark Knight is next in line with two. Disney had planned to make this a franchise, but although the film was received well critically, it was a box-office disappointment, and Disney scrapped their plans. I guess we’ll just have to live with one.
