What's on: Sunday

There aren't many people looking to challenge the 79TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS (ABC/8:30 p.m.). Probably best to TiVo and then start fast forwarding through the boring parts about 10 p.m. Ellen DeGeneres isn't a bad comic, so I'm curious to see her host.

AMAZING RACE ALL-STARS (CBS/8 p.m.) is banking that you don't care about the first half-hour of the Oscars (thereby missing Ellen's monologue and probably the best-supporting awards). It's not a bad move on their part since there's really almost nothing else new tonight.

Third chair goes to THE L WORD (SHO/10 p.m.) premiering tonight for its fourth season.

On that note, also new is NBC's Grease: You're the One That I Want and Crossing Jordan (the 10 p.m. one, not the 9 p.m. rerun); MTV's True Life (I'm in Debt) and I'm From Rolling Stone; Dresden Files and Battlestar Galactica. Jimmy Kimmel's doing a live, post-awards show... and... yeah, that's it.
