1) “Sinners” (shown here), 9 p.m., HBO. With the Academy Awards coming Sunday, this is your last chance to catch some of the front-runners without streaming. HBO has another one — “One Battle After Another” — at 6:15 p.m. Friday. They lead with 16 and 13 nominations respectively and are also on HBO Max.
2) “Some Like It Hot (1959), 5:45 p.m. ET. Turner Classic Movies. Also gearing up for the Oscars, TCM has great films. The American Film Institute put “Hot” at No. 1 on its funniest-movie list. (No. 2 is “Tootsie,” airing at 8 p.m. Saturday; both are guys-in-frocks films.) Also, at 8 p.m. today is the brilliantly acted “A Streetcar Named Desire” (1951).
3) “Animal Control,” 9 p.m., Fox. It’s always funny to see clumsy liars try to keep a secret. Now Emily and Shred hide romance that’s forbidden because she’s the boss. The result is very funny, two other stories are so-so. That follows a “Next Level Chef” that’s fun, yet noisy and chaotic. As one person asks: Who knew food could be so scary?
4) “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” 8 p.m., CBS. This should be a festive day: Georgie is finally 21, the age he claimed to be four years ago. But Mandy, 32, is in a deep funk, after quitting her TV job amid the backlash after she said God might be a woman.
5) ALSO: At 10 p.m., try ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” (on his first day back, Richard faces a tough case). Or NBC’s “The Hunting Party” (a twisted neuro-scientist has secrets about the hidden prison). Or CBS’ “Elsbeth”: When a games editor is killed, Elsbeth enters the intense world of crossword puzzles.
