so glad Sandra got best actress
Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 12:21 AM by 2Design
so glad Sandra got best actress - when I first saw the trailer before the film was out - I said this was her film and her award - it was like Sally Field and Norma Rae - great actress and great role

AND
it is a GREAT film

1. I hadn't seen it... But, I am thrilled about Jeff Bridges..
He's a good actor and an overall good guy--unusual combo in much of Hollywood.

18. Not only did she show up in person...
Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 12:43 AM by Contrary1
She brought DVDs of "All About Steve" to hand out to the audience. She really is a funny lady.

Here's a video of her appearance at the Razzies:

9. I thought Halle Berry got a Razzy for "Catwoman."
Or am I misremembering that?

Either way, doing it in the same year is definitely an achievement!

10. I like her movie all about Steve and thought she portrayed that character well
it had a great take away line - find people like you so you know you are normal

16. Come to think of it- she sure did!
And she picked it up in person, too!

"I want to thank Warner Bros. for casting me in this piece-of-sh--, god-awful movie,"

:rofl:

5. I agree,
but I haven't seen the film. I think she has been under-rated.

12. You can get rid of monarchy, and turn away from aristocracy --
you can abolish the House of Lords (the recent UK) or even establish a Republic (as we did over here) ---

but there must be something in the human heart that longs to cringe before some supposed betters. The Social Register may not matter anymore. Debrett's Peerage may be an anachronism, but Hollywood rides in to fill the breach. The Oscars are like the honors list. Good for Sandra! All hail first Duchess of Bullock! Your grace!

13. I haven't seen the film yet but I loved
her acceptance speech. She wanted to thank her mother too, who has passed on, and she had to compose herself first but the tribute was beautiful and brought a tear or more to my eyes.

I've been a fan of Sandra Bullock for some time, so I'm glad to see her get recognition for turning in a terrific performance.

19. And she looked GORGEOUS!
Actually this year was a great year for film AND fashion....I thought there were so many beautiful gowns. Anna Kendrick might have been my fave.
