We already knew when “Empire” was returning to Fox, but now we’ve got all of the network’s spring premiere dates.
Lord/Miller’s “Making History” debuts on Sunday March 5, an hour before “The Last Man on Earth” sees its spring comeback. That Thursday, the Hannah Simone-hosted competition “Kicking & Screaming” kicks off.
Be sure to mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 22. Not only is that the evening of the “Empire” return, but the hip-hop soap opera nabs a new lead-in with 8 p.m.’s racially charged “Shots Fired.”
On Tuesday, April 4, “Prison Break” returns at 9. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is back on the air a week later, in the time slot 60 minutes earlier than Wentworth Miller and the (chain) gang. As previously announced, “24: Legacy” begins its two-night premiere on Sunday, February 5, following Super Bowl LI. New police drama “APB” launches the next night. “Lucifer” is back on Monday, May 1.
In addition, Fox has ordered four more episodes of the Kaitlin Olson-led comedy “The Mick.” It follows an unapologetic degenerate (Olson) who suddenly finds herself stuck raising her spoiled niece (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and nephews (Thomas Barbusca, Jack Stanton) in affluent Greenwich, Conn.

Worst: "Chastain and the Redmayne"
Sorry, Jimmy Fallon, but leave the rapping to the pros. Fallon introduced Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne, playing off their names in a quick spoof of the Cypress Hill classic "Insane in the Membrane."
It almost slipped by, but eagle-eyed viewers caught the two actors locking lips after Ryan Gosling won for "La La Land." Whether or not tongue was involved is anybody's guess.

Worst: Casey Affleck's Acceptance Speech
Casey Affleck may have won for "Manchester by the Sea," but his speech was not awards-worthy. The younger Affleck looked in need of a nap (and a shave) as he delivered his speech on stage.

Best: Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep is the best by default, but she reminded us why when she accepted her Cecil B. Demille Award. In a passionate speech, Streep called out Donald Trump for his bullying tactics (without mentioning his name), as well as calling on Hollywood to support a free and independent press.
NBC
Best: Matt Damon Mocks "The Martian"
Matt Damon has always been able to laugh at himself. Before presenting an award, Damon laughingly reminisced about how he won in the comedy category last year for his role in "The Martian," a fact he said was funnier than anything that happened in "The Martian."
