It’s always one of the most poignant short films of the year: TCM’s Remembers, documenting the lives of film industry people who passed away. See it at TCM Remembers 2013.
Last year, the Academy Awards version of the same tribute was woefully lacking and failed to include a number of performers–like Andy Griffith, Ben Gazzarra, Phyllis Diller, and even more. Maybe this year the Academy will use the TCM piece as a reference.

The first time I really noticed TCM was when I saw one of the TCM Remembers tributes. Before I saw it, I thought TCM just showed old movies. When I saw that tribute, I stared in wonder and amazement. There was WAY more to TCM than I thought.
Agreed about last year’s Academy tribute.
