Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Hillary Clinton heads into the today’s Iowa caucus with some big backers, the SAGs school the Oscars, and Liz Cheney throws her hat back into the ring. Have a fantastic Monday.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• Take notes, Oscars. A flurry of awards from the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Sundance Film Festival provided a stark contrast to the diversity-impaired Oscars. Among the winners: Queen Latifah, Uzo Aduba, Viola Davis, and Idris Elba. Time
ALSO IN THE HEADLINES
• Hillary's fans... Just in time for today's Iowa caucus, the New York Times editorial board is endorsing Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, calling her "one of the most broadly and deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history." Clinton also picked up a stamp of approval from Lilly Ledbetter, the activist who made it easier for women to challenge their employers over unfair pay.
• ...vs. Bernie's booster. While Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has yet to endorse a presidential candidate, Fortune's Tory Newmyer argues that she's made a better case for Bernie Sanders than the Vermont Senator has made for himself. Fortune
• Donald's discriminating? Elizabeth Mae Davidson, a former paid organizer for Donald Trump who was fired this month, has accused his campaign of gender discrimination, alleging that men were paid more for the same jobs and were allowed to plan and speak at rallies, while her requests to do so were ignored. She also said the presidential candidate once told her and a fellow volunteer: “You guys could do a lot of damage,” referring to their looks. New York Times
• Being Belle. For Belle McElroy, protagonist of Maureen Sherry's new novel, getting groped on the trading floor and shrugging off lewd remarks is just part of working on Wall Street. But while Belle’s on-the-job trials are fictional, many of them were inspired by the real life of Sherry, once a managing director at the failed New York-based investment bank, Bear Stearns. Fortune
• Uncertainty over Ursula. Xerox CEO Ursula Burns defended the decision to split her 109-year-old company in two, insisting that it wasn't driven by activist investor Carl Icahn. It remains unclear what role—if any—she will play in the post-split companies. WSJ
• Down under duel. In her first-ever Grand Slam final, Angelique Kerber upset Serena Williams to win the 2016 Australian Open. SI
MOVERS AND SHAKERS: Claudia Fan Munce, a 30-year veteran of the venture group at IBM, has joined New Enterprise Associates as a venture advisor. Anne Richards has been appointed CEO of M&G Investments, an investment management company under the Prudential Group umbrella.
