-Pretty much everyone I know sent me the link this morning to EW’s oral history of Sports Night. Well played, friends.

-I love this piece on the Serial podcast and our expectations about a satisfying ending. It’s become an international obsession, but everyone’s treating it like a TV show instead of an ongoing investigation.

-Once again, this year is shaping up to be slim pickings in the Best Actress Oscar race.

-If this story is true and Christopher Nolan really is interfering with Jessica Chastain’s Oscar campaign, that’s balls. It’s not like Interstellar needs the extra push.

Taylor Swift says of Spotify: “I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates,” which is easy to say when your album instantly goes platinum.

Lena Dunham’s book tour sounds fun.

-I really liked the novel Whatever Makes You Happy, so news that the adaptation will star Susan Sarandon, Allison Janney and Stephen Amell is all good. I really, really hope Amell is playing Daniel.

-Here’s the final Hobbit trailer, for those of you out there who care about that sort of thing.

-Here’s a new sneak peek at Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man. You go get that Marvel money, Paul Rudd.

-Poo. Beyoncé’s rumored new album track list is “completely made up,” according to her reps.

-As someone who quotes Tina Belcher A LOT, I appreciate this.

Katniss realizes that Peeta is still alive in the latest Mockingjay clip.

-There’s a new Into the Woods trailer and this one actually has singing!
