| Academy Awards, 2012-2022 |
And the Oscar goes to: what's on television for tonight, Sunday, March 12!
Our Top Pick tonight is the 95th Academy Awards, commonly known as The Oscars (ABC, 8 p.m.). It's time for the annual 3-hour ceremony that never ends on time and always gets some awards wrong. Don't worry, you aren't gonna be behind if you missed the first 94. The Oscars should also recognize cast, stunts, and choreography and needs to be resplit sound. Oh, well. Our always-lively live-thread goes up during the Red Carpet shows.
Elsewhere, Damian Lewis finds a Spy Among Friends, The Equalizer goes after anti-Semites, the Last of Us gets to the last, the Great North wants to be liked, a body turns up in gentrified East New York, and the Godfather uncovers a CIA plot.
