Best Actor

Reviewers didn’t love it But of all the films I’ve seen, My very favorite told the tale Of Freddie and of Queen.* Sometimes actors who are special Can embody, on the screen, Personalities so perfectly There is no in-between. So though I know Rami Malek Starred in every single scene, Freddie Mercury was there On every stage or limousine. Which is why I really get it When the judges do convene, That the honors for best actor Go to…(you know who I mean!) *Bohemian Rhapsody

Reviewers share the same standards of honesty and integrity as Donald Trump, so trust your own instinct! I do recall, "Bohemian Rhapsody", and even Sarah Brightman could not resist singing, "Who wants to live forever?", so Freddy made his mark sans the cinema! Well caught and reported! Aloha! Rico

Oh, Ilene, I am so excited by your poem! Bohemian Rhapsody was the best film I'd seen in a long time and my sister's family enjoyed it with me. Came out of the theater saying he deserved best actor and he got the nod from both SAG and Golden Globe. It really did feel like we were watching Freddie! Awesome poem, Ilene. Let's see what happens with the Oscars. There were at least a few reviewers who did like it, and the performance stole my heart. Applause!! Freddie lives!
