Working for the weekend

With the Sunday-morning news circuit as crowded as ever, Fox News has wisely expanded the table talk to Saturdays. "Cavuto Live" puts longtime business anchor Neil Cavuto in the driver's seat as he gets a one-day head start on the competition, navigating the week that was.

Going gangster

Catherine Zeta-Jones has shown plenty of bite lately, both in defense of husband Michael Douglas, who faces allegations of sexual misconduct, and in a variety of roles. Her latest, "Cocaine Godmother: The Griselda Blanco Story," gives the Academy Award winner a chance to play a real-life character so dark and relentless that she earned the nickname the Black Widow.

Bell of the ball

The Golden Globes established the rules for a whole different approach to the awards season with a greater emphasis on women's rights than women's fashion. Expect "The 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards" to follow suit with host Kristen Bell leading the way. Morgan Freeman will be honored for his body of work.

7 p.m. Sunday, TNT and TBS
