1) Academy Awards, 7 p.m. ET Sunday, ABC. Conan O’Brien hosts a night led by “Sinners” and (shown here) “One Battle After Another.” They have 16 and 13 nominations; for best-picture, they face “Marty Supreme,” “Frankenstein” and “Sentimental Value” (9 apiece), “Hamnet” (8) and “F1,” “Train Dreams,” “Secret Agent” and “Bugonia” (4 each).
2) Prepping for Oscars. HBO has “Sinners” at 9 p.m. Thursday and “One Battle” at 6:15 p.m. Friday. Those two are also on HBO Max; in addition, streamers have six of the other best-picture nominees: Peacock has “Hamnet” and “Bugonia” … Netflix has “Frankenstein: and “Train Dreams” … Hulu” has “Secret Agent” … and Apple has “F1.”
3) “Stumble” season-finale, 8:30 p.m. Friday, NBC. This has become an above-average comedy, with interesting characters, sharp sight gags and (at times) some seriously good cheer-team moves. Now the rag-tag team is at the national championships, where its coach collides with her enemies. The result is inconsistent, but has some excellent moments.
4) “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” 8:30 p.m. today, NBC. Reggie’s ex-wife plunges back into the dating world … which has changed in the smart-phone era. Add another plot (a frantic search for a cat) and you have a funny episode. It follows a fairly good “St. Denis Medical” that has the same theme (mid-life dating) with so-so results, but ends cleverly.
5) “RJ Decker,” 10 p.m. Tuesday, ABC. Decker is a private detective, but his prison days linger. Now a former cellmate wants help clearing a late friend’s son; it gets messy. That’s in ABC’s new Tuesday crime-show line-up. At 8 p.m., “Will Trent” eyes the murder of a fraternity guy; at 9, “High Potential” has Daphne probing the attempted murder of her mentor.
6) “Hollywood Squares” return, 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, CBS. After a four-week break, “Squares” returns … but only for a half-hour a week. This week, it surrounds Drew Barrymore with reality-show veterans Rob Mariano, Niecy Nash Betts and Ms. Pat, plus singer Ariana DeBose and comedians Ron Funches, Tiffany Haddish, Pete Holmes and Jo Koy.
7) “Some Like It Hot” (1959) and “A Streetcar Named Desire” (1951), 6 and 8 p.m. ET Thursday, Turner Classic Movies. The final days before the Oscars are packed with top films. The American Film Institute put these at No. 22 and 44 on its all-time list and called “Hot” the funniest movie ever. Also: “Field of Dreams” and “Tootsie” are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
8) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m. Saturday, NBC. Wrapping up a post-Olympic stretch of three new “SNL” episodes, this has Harry Styles doubling as host and music guest. It’s his second time doing both and ends a busy stretch: On March 6, he had a concert (now available on Netflix) in England. Then it was time for his “SNL” week.
9) Oscar day, Sunday. The E channel starts its preview at 2 p.m. ET, then has red-carpet coverage frtom 4-7 p.m. It pauses, then adds an “after party” from 10:30 tp midnight. Also at 10:30, ABC looks at “The Bachelorette.” After an overhaul (and an 18-month break), the show returns March 22, focusing on Taylor Frankie Paul of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
10) “Dark Winds,” 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC; also 11:32. Things have been tough for these Navajo tribal cops, ever since they reached Los Angeles in search of a runaway teen girl. This hour starts with Joe in deep trouble, ends with Chee in worse. In between, this deeply layered, 1960s drama sees both men with frayed emotions … while a killer pursues the runaway.
