31 Days of Oscar: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Stanley Kubrick's influential science fiction head trip won the auteur his one and only Academy Award - but not for his distinctive direction.

Kubrick actually won the Visual Effects prize for such iconic images as the celestial ballet and the star baby. Now that's what I call a renaissance man.

2001: A Space Odyssey airs tomorrow night on Turner Classic Movies at 8:00 PM EST as part of this month's "31 Days of Oscar" celebration.
