BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood host again, for the sixth time, in this annual awards show that’s heavy on the performances, and on sharing the stage with fellow artists. So Taylor Swift, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill all sing… and not necessarily by themselves.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

It’s Burt Lancaster month on TCM, which means Wednesday nights will be filled with his movies – starting tonight at 8 p.m. ET with his impressive feature-film debut, in this moody 1946 thriller, based on the Ernest Hemingway story and co-starring Ava Gardner.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Jessica Lange is dressed in black for this episode’s funeral service. That’s not unusual – but the service itself certainly is, even among the creepy shenanigans common to this series, which, so far, is having a very good year.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 11:45 p.m. ET

Another part of this month’s TCM salute to Burt Lancaster, this 1953 film featured Lancaster in an iconic cinematic clinch: on the beach with Deborah Kerr, having an illicit affair between an Army sergeant and the wife of a superior officer as the waves lap around them. And in other scenes, Donna Reed and Montgomery Clift co-star, and Frank Sinatra makes a mid-career comeback by playing Maggio.

 
  
 
 

IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

“Food all right? Try the wine!” Patrick Magee, as the victim turned avenger in this 1971 Stanley Kubrick masterwork, asks this of Malcolm McDowell’s Alex, who, at that point in his unforgettable journey, has made a drastic turnabout of his own. Alex fears the old man is trying to drug or poison him with the wine, and it’s a great scene. But A Clockwork Orange is one great scene after another, and is one of my favorite films of all time. Viddy well, my brothers.
