And the winner is ... Ross, sadly! Tomorrow THE BRITISH ACADEMY FILM AWARDS (BBC2, 8pm / BBC1, 9pm.

MILLIONS of viewers now rely on the brilliant Sky+ recording system to keep tabs on programmes they might otherwise miss.

But, if you are going out, don't bank on it being able to recognise that this programme is, rather annoyingly, being screened over two channels.

Expect Slumdog Millionaire to fly the flag for Britain.

I'm not sure what Jonathan Ross is doing hosting this highprofile event when Carole Thatcher has just been sacked, but that's the unfair lions' den of showbusiness for you.

You can always avoid Ross by switching over for the premiere ofMeryl Streep'sTheDevilWears Prada (Channel 4, 8pm) instead.

Streep the magnificent is in the running for another best actress Oscar award on February 22, whose latest release Doubt gives her a record 15th Academy Award nomination.

Here she has a ball as no-nonsense fashion queen Miranda Priestly in the premiere of the film which earned her a 14th nod just two years ago.

Directed by David Frankel, it's a brilliantly-observed comedy which no fashion-conscious woman should miss, especially as co-star Anne Hathaway is also terrific as an innocent abroad.

Clint Eastwood's The Bridges of Madison County (Channel 4, 11.15pm) delivers another of Streep's Oscar nominations.

Today's live soccer matches include Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal (SkySports 1, ko1.30pm) and West Ham v Manchester United (Sky Sports 1, ko 4 pm).

CAPTION(S):

Slumdog Millionaire is expected to do well at awards.
