Welcome to the big time, Jimmy Kimmel.

(Go easy on those Mean Tweets). As for the movies, “La La Land” leads the nomination list with a record-tying 14 and is a good bet to dance off with the biggest prize of the night. Scheduled performers include Lin-Manuel Miranda, Auli’i Cravalho, Sting, Justin Timberlake and John Legend. 8:30 p.m. Sunday, with red-carpet coverage starting at 7, ABC.
