Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
Thank you for entering and playing the game!
My synopsis of the evening will be posted later in the day; fortunately I do not have posting deadlines looming on the horizon which allows the experience to marinate and eventually solidify into a legitimate evaluation.
Since I never win,
Going out a a limb,
There is talent galore,
Excitement, boredom, and more.
Here are my selections,
After days of “reflections”.
Some might call me insane;
But it’s all in the game!
BEST ACTOR: COLIN FIRTH THE KING’S SPEECH
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: CHRISTIAN BALE THE FIGHTER
BEST ACTRESS: ANNETTE BENING THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: JACKI WEAVER ANIMAL KINGDOM
BEST DIRECTOR: DAVID FINCHER THE SOCIAL NETWORK
BEST PICTURE: THE SOCIAL NETWORK WITH 4 OSCARS
My prime movie of the year was snubbed with only one nomination for costuming. “I Am Love”, a classic study, portrait of having no control, power over who your heart chooses to love.
February 25th is the final entry day. Winners will receive gift certificates to their favorite theatre. Good Luck.
For Now…………..Peneflix
PS. YOU MUST SELECT THE NUMBER OF OSCARS THE BEST FILM WILL CAPTURE!
Penelope, are your picks the ones you WANT to win, or those you think WILL win?
Nancy, the ones I think are the best in their categories. It was difficult for me only in the Best Actress category. But remember I never win and this time I really stepped otside of the box. P
Darling poem. We’ll see how many stars the star gets!!

Wow! Interesting choices, Peneflix! Fun poem! Hope you are wrong in the best actress category, I think Natalie Portman deserves it!
Looking for your review of “The Housemaid”!
L
It was a difficult decision; but everything was so predictable, just felt like gambling!
P
What is your opinion of “Poetry?”
You get the Oscar for “Best Reviewer “!!!!!!!!
I agree with L. about Portman. S.
Also, think she will win; but Benning kept screaming through my psyche!~ xo
Sharp and fun poem, Peneflix. As an avid follower, I’m now looking for how to enter my Oscar contest picks. After finally seeing Social Network a couple of weeks ago, I have to agree with David Fincher as Director. Just need to prep my other picks. I smell victory!
I thought Christian Bale was a shoe in until I saw The King’s speech, now I’m not sure that Jeffrey Rush won’t be right there. Both were wonderful. Tough choice.
I never gave you the number of Oscars the winner will get, I predict 12.
Anxiously waiting for your review of UNKNOWN!!!
L
My problem, you all, is that the ones I think should win because they were so extraordinary, will not win because I do not think they fit into a particular mold that the Academy seems to vote for most of the time. For instance, “Social Network” does show better direction simply because it is TODAY and more original than “The King’s Speech” which came out of reality that has been documented as a part of history and, therefore, there was material on it.
Penelope, not sure how we are supposed to submit our Oscars bets! So here goes:
Actor Colin Firth
Supporting Actor Christian Bale
Actress Natalie Portman
Supporting Actress Melissa Leo
Director David Fincher
Best Movie Social Network with 3 Oscars
Got your votes! P.
Best Actor–Colin Firth
Best Supporting Actor–Geoffrey Rush
Best Actress–Natalie Portman
Best S Actress–Melissa Leo
