Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
Ellen DeGeneres set the tone; the evening shimmered with grace, style, levity, raucous hilarity and sizzling spontaneity. Stunning acceptance speeches coated with humility, pride; resonating with class and respect: Lupita Nyong’o eloquence, Matthew McConaughey’s uniqueness, Jared Leto’s poignancy, Cate Blanchett’s, aplomb, Steve McQueen’s tribute to historical heroes. No one topped Darlene Love’s musical acceptance of her award for “20 Feet from Stardom”.
It was a softer, kinder broadcast; DeGeneres with her constant interaction with the audience (Tweeting, ordering pizza, collecting funds) erasing the boundaries between stage, audience and viewers; winners or losers, happiness and fun flourished.
This is the first year that peneflix came close to guessing correctly all seven questions; missing by one, the final count for “12 Years a Slave”. There are winners galore and I congratulate those victors and everyone who entered the contest; you contributed to the depth and excitement of the evening. Number “3” was the magic number for “12 Years of Slave”.
Winners will be contacted this week to claim their prize.
It was indeed a FIVE STAR production.

Re the Oscars….I thought it was one of the most entertaining in years. However, I do wish the winning actors would write a short thank you and leave the stage. McConaughey was embarrasing and thankfully the only one to call upon God! Lupito gushed and gushed. I hope Jared had his mother’s permission to ‘out’ her like that! And please leave Sidney Poitier at home in the future! Otherwise, at least there was some attempt to be glamorous and well behaved.
LOVED EVERY LENGTHLY MINUTE, ESPECIALLY THE GUTSY ACCEPTANCES.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MATISSE, NO ONE DOES “RED” LIKE JENNIFER LAWRENCE.
ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS!~ YOU SHOULD HAVE ENTERED THE CONTEST! P.
