More awards: Samuel L. Jackson hosts the MTV Movie Awards (9 p.m., MTV), with music from the Wallflowers and Natalie Imbruglia and the usual film spoofs, kooky categories and celeb sightings. People of the Century (10 p.m., CBS) selects the 20 most influential entertainers and artists of the past 100 years. S P O R T S NHL Playoffs: Capitols at Sabres (7:30 p.m., ESPN) S E R I E S Veronica's Closet (8:30 p.m., NBC) reruns an early episode in which Veronica is less than flattered by a full-figured doll modeled on herself. Uncle Leo gets busted for shoplifting and George's bathroom reading gets him in trouble on the Seinfeld rerun (9 p.m., NBC). ER (10 p.m., NBC) is, of course, a rerun; it's the one where the docs scramble to treat victims of a school bus crash.
