We Got the Link

• The Guardian Vanessa Redgrave and Miriam Margoyes in conversation. Wow, love them both
• Variety this year's nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... The Go-Gos, the most success female rock band of all time, FINALLY make the list -- the recent documentary surely helped -- but who knows if they'll actually get voted in because the competition is pretty fierce: Tina Turner, Carole King, Dionne Warwick, Iron Maiden, Kate Bush, LL Cool J, etcetera and only 5 will be chosen
• People Halle Berry putting the trolls commenting on her love life in their place. Queen.

Tina Turner, Priyanka Chopra, and bad news for an animated film we were looking forward to after the jump...

Peggy Link

• Movie City New Gurus of Gold latest predictions - i find it interesting that the ranking is all over the place with Promising Young Woman all the way from #1 to #10 (though it's on all the lists)
• IndieWire There was so much awards stuff happening this week that we never discusseed Todd Haynes planning a Peggy Lee biopic with Michelle Williams. Obviously I feel bad about this because we love all three people and that sounds amazing!
• Empire Got a spare 182 minutes? Directors Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino did a podcast together.

Steven Yeun, WandaVision, a messy Color Purple legal battle, a strange Nicole Kidman story, Edward Scissorhands at the Superbowl, and more after the jump...

Links!

• TFE Nomadland collects a bunch of OFCS prizes (*updated post)
• AV Club Lovecraft Country's Misha Green will direct the next Tomb Raider. Yes, somehow they're continuing this franchise despite the super dull results last time
• Atlantic Hollywood's big studios largely aren't following Warner Bros 'dump it all on streaming' lead. And Warner Bros may have lost one of its biggest revenue-producing directors with that decision.

News of the World, superhero multiverses, child stars, and Jonathan Bailey ❤️ after the jump...
