1) “Dune” (2021), 8 p.m., HBO. On the eve of the Academy Awards, we can catch some of the best-picture nominees. “Dune” (shown here) repeats at 6:15 p.m. Sunday (overlapping the Oscars, at 8 p.m. ET) and is on HBO Max, which also has “Drive My Car” and shares two others – “Nightmare Alley” (with Hulu) and “West Side Story” (with Disney+). Netflix has “Don’t Look Up” and “The Power of the Dog,” Apple TV+ has “Coda” and the others are video-on-demand.
2) “Step Into … the Movies,” 8 p.m., ABC. Here’s another way to get ready for the Oscars: The brother-sister duo Derek and Julianne Hough re-create some of the great movie moments. They’re joined by people skilled in dance (Jenna Dewan), music (Amber Riley) or both (Ariana DeBose). That’s followed at 9 by a rerun of “American Idol” auditions.
3) Basketball, 6 and 8:30 p.m., TBS. It’s time to see which teams will be in the college tournament’s final four. Two will be determined tonight, with the others at 2 and 4:30 p.m. Sunday on CBS. The winners meet next Saturday in New Orleans, with the championship two days later.
4) Figure-skating, 4-8 p.m. USA, 8-10 p.m., NBC. These are the international championships, but don’t expect to see the Olympic champs. Nathan Chen withdrew because of an injury; the Russian team was banned. This has the finals for men at 4 p.m., dance at 6 and women at 8.
5) ALSO: Turner Classic Movies’ Oscar month continues, with sprawling David Lean films – “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962) at 1 p.m., “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (1957) at 5 and “A Passage to India” (1984) at 8. For something brisker, catch “Erin Brokovich” (2000) at 8 and 11 on Sundance. And “Saturday Night Live” has a rerun hosted by Simu Liu, the “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” star; Saweetie, who’s on the “Shang-Chi” soundtrack, is the music guest.
