Marisa Berenson, Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli at the premiere of Cabaret (1972)Vanity Fair smart piece by Mark Harris on what four Oscar campaign's (or rather the potential success thereof) might tell us about the "new" Academy including Lupita Nyong'o in Us

The Guardian
talks to Marisa Berenson (Cabaret) on why she walked away from the spotlight so many years ago.

After the jump animated short Oscar hopefuls, Taylor Swift Cats news, Jeff Goldblum, a new film from The Lighthouse's Robert Eggers and more...

The Sunday Times profiles Jeff Goldblum. Great subheader on this piece that makes you want to read: "Cult actor. Style icon. Jazz star. Viral meme. Older dad. Where did it all go so right for Jeff Goldblum?"

MovieMaker Sienna Miller thinks her best scene in American Woman (which, yes, they're still pushing apparently!) was left on the cutting room floor. For the record we agree that she's terrific in that little seen 2019 indie.

Variety Producer Robert Evans (who Dustin Hoffman famously got Oscar nominated for doing an imitation of in Wag the Dog) has passed away. Have you ever seen The Kid Stays in the Picture? That was quite a juicy showbiz doc

 Cartoon Brew 92 animated shorts believed to have qualified for the Oscars in that category (and we would like to add that it's beyond annoying that Oscar no longer lists the eligible contenders and we can't find a valid reason for that decision)

iTunes there's a third trailer for Star Wars Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker but we think 1 teaser is more than enough for a movie that everyone on the planet will likely see even if there were no trailers.

MNPP
details on the next project from Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) which is lining up an incredible cast: Kidman, Skarsgård, and Anya Taylor Joy). Update: It's called The Northman

Out
 Taylor Swift wrote an original song for the Cats movie, and its reprised twice so watch out for it in Best Original Song at the Oscars



Film School Rejects there's a new book out on Rick Baker, Hollywood's most honored Makeup magician called "Metamorphosis"

MNPP wants us to stop undervaluing Mia Wasikowska, who just turned 30
