PENEFLIX ACADEMY AWARD CONTEST COUNTDOWN

Everyone has favorites; some never waver in their choices; most of us are a thousand percent that we are correct. As I watched the Golden Globe Awards, groaning at some of the winners, questioning the reasoning of the judges, wondering if they had seen all of the films, feeling bewildered, chagrined, massively disappointed as my favorites were felled by what I considered the unworthy; resigned but hopeful that wrongs will be righted on February 24th. Here goes. RULES:

YOU MUST ENTER ON THIS SITE. ALL ENTRIES (ONE PER PERSON) HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED BY FEBRUARY 21ST! ENTER JUST 6 NAMES AND ONE NUMBER (THE NUMBER IS HOW MANY AWARDS THE BEST FILM WILL WIN.) YOU HAVE TO “BEST” PENEFLIX, WHICH IS EASY, SINCE I FARE MISERABLY IN MY SELECTIONS. THE WINNER OR WINNERS WILL RECEIVE GIFT CERTIFICATES AT THE THEATRE OF THEIR CHOICE.
