BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last year at the Academy Awards, host Jimmy Kimmel presided over the most famous major mistake in Oscar history: the awarding of the night’s top honor, Best Picture, to the wrong movie. Presenter Warren Beatty had been handed a duplicate of the previous, Best Actress envelope winner, Emma Stone for La La Land, and, confused, showed it to co-presenter Faye Dunaway, who read aloud the name of the movie as though it had won the top honor. This year, despite that famous fiasco, Kimmel is back. And so are Beatty and Dunaway, scheduled to present the final award once again, as ABC wisely embraces the embarrassment and opts to have some fun with it. And so, Bonnie and Clyde ride again…

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s new animated episode is called “State Dinner,” and the honored guest is Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau – whose polished demeanor and physical fitness drive President Donald Trump into a very competitive mode.
 
  
 
 

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

The continuing, long-running, occasionally super-violent battle between Andrew Lincoln’s Rick and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan is spiking at one of its boiling points tonight. Rick, one of the primary heroes of this series, is more determined than ever to bring down Negan – and Negan, feeling the pressure from Rick’s multi-pronged military offensive, is more bloodthirsty than ever. And that’s a lot of bloodthirsty.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Being released from federal prison and given the top government job in homeland security would sound like good news for Saul (Mandy Patinkin). But now that he’s in charge, tensions on various fronts are mounting – and when people in trouble better call Saul, whom can he call?

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 10:30 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: I thought last week’s episode, set at NACA and giving Pete (Pete Holmes) a new sense of direction, was the season finale. But I was wrong. (It happens.) The real Season 2 finale is tonight, opposite the Academy Awards, in an episode called “Roast Battle."
 
  
 
 

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

I wonder if John Oliver longs for the days when he wondered if there would be enough news of the week to fill an entire 30-minute news comedy and commentary show. Or is that just me?

 
  
 
 

CBS All Access, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: After one year on CBS Access, The Good Fight returns for a second run, with the first episode available today for streaming. And for Season 2, another familiar character from The Good Wife shows up, joining the show as a series regular. Audra McDonald, the Tony-winning musical actress, injects herself into this show’s plots as imposing adversary Liz Reddick-Lawrence. But now, on this series, whose side is she on?

A Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer allows travelers to begin their vacation with comfort, convenience, and confidence. After arriving at Punta Cana International Airport, the last thing most visitors want is to spend time searching for transportation or waiting in long lines. Planning airport transportation before departure helps make the arrival process much easier and allows guests to continue directly to the resort.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana is situated in the beautiful Uvero Alto region, approximately 27 miles (44 kilometers) from Punta Cana International Airport. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 45 to 55 minutes. Choosing a Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer provides a direct route to the resort, avoiding unnecessary stops that are common with shared transportation.
