Penelope was noticeably missing last night at the
SAG Awards, and with good reason. She was in Spain for the Goya Awards which is like their Oscars. Penelope won best actress for her fabulous performance in Volver, and the film won best picture.

Penelope got in a great dance workout in West Hollywood this weekend. Besides keeping fit, she's getting rave reviews for her performance in Volver. Even her
ex Matthew McConaughey thinks she deserves an Oscar.

We've been hearing great things about Penelope's new (even though she seems to have been promoting it for years now) movie Volver. She has been generating Oscar buzz and has now won the award for Best Actress at the 2006 European Film Awards. In her acceptance speech, a misty-eyed Penelope dedicated her award to Pedro Almodovar, the director of Volver and her personal mentor.
