‘Mrs. Maisel’ won the SAG award for best television ensemble tonight for the second year running, and they were not happy about it. Like everyone else, they thought Fleabag was robbed. In fact, Alex Borstein admits that she voted for Fleabag herself before telling the audience that she’s going to go home and f*ck her award through her Spanx hole. (Alex Borstein and Phoebe Waller-Bridge need to work together. Immediately. (Vulture)

I would read interviews with Brian Cox every day. He’s very entertaining. - (The Guardian)

Florence Pugh’s brother is very adorable. - (Lainey)

Are you also sick of the Oscars and how they consistently act like women directors don’t exist? Kayleigh is too, and she’s demanding action. Consider signing her petition to get Academy President David Rubin to commit to long-term change and a greater commitment to the future of inclusivity in storytelling! - (Change.org)

Kristy shared this and I’ll take any bit of good news I can find, “Today in good news: going to the movies counts as a “light workout.”” - (DM)

Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States, but Virginia has other plans. - (The Root)

James shared this on Facebook the other day and I thought it needed to be shared here too.

Titus Kaphar took a painting that used to be on the wall of Yale’s Corporation room, showing Eliyu Yale with two other wealthy white men, with an enslaved Black child in the background, and repainted it, crumpling it up and highlighting one part.

Do you ever wonder about the volunteers who keep Cannonball Read running? Bothari43 has been interviewing Cannonballers in her Quick Questions with a Cannonballer series for a few years. This month she interviewed Beth Ellen, who comes from and is raising a family of readers. "My sister (Ellepkay) and I have even been known to take a sister’s weekend away where we just read together (although she just gifted me a Jane Austen role-playing game for Christmas, so you better believe that’s coming out next trip!)." What does your family do together? (CannonballRead 12)
