Apparently I fell out of bed, on the wrong side, and landed in a parallel universe where Sandra Bullock got acting lessons. She’s cute as crap, don’t get me wrong. Her never-plucked ‘brows and tough-cookie persona do her credit. In fact, she was so outstanding in cinematic masterpieces such as Speed that she should have won in every Oscar category and quite some time ago. But alas she only just won now (even though she was up against much more seasoned actresses).
The star won at the 2010 Academy Awards (fancy people name for the Oscars) last night, the same night I apparently developed a hardened drug habit that affected my memory. She scooped the Best Actress for her well-received role in The Blind Side. A movie I may go and attend, should I ever go blind as I gather that’s one of the requisites of enjoying its wonders. Excerpt from her speech…
While accepting her award, Bullock thanked “what this film was about for me, which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from.” Bullock saved time to thank her mother “for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18, because she was right. I would have done what she said I was gonna do.” [Pop Eater]
