They don’t have many roles like this for women in Hollywood. They had them in the 30s and 40s and then Lucille Ball sort of left with it. This is sort of my Dumb And Dumber phase.

I was looking for a love story, I’ve always wanted to do one and I read it and as soon as I read it, it was like, you know those novels that you read when you were younger and you were absolutely lost in that scenario.

Oscar nomination
0 CommentsBullock is nominated for Best Actress at the 82nd Academy Awards for portraying Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side.
I’d always assumed that the road to Oscar was planned. I thought people chose projects that were considered ‘Oscar-worthy.’ No one wanted to make this film. I didn’t want to make this film for the better part of the year. Everyone is as blindsided — can I say that? — as I am.
Wins Oscar
Bullock wins her first Academy Award as Best Actress for the movie The Blind Side. On thanking her mom:
She reminded her daughters that there’s no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love.
Cheating rumors
Bullock pulls out of the London premiere for The Blind Side because of rumors that her husband of five years was committing adultery. James:
The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment. There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.
Sandra Bullock interview
0 CommentsThe Guardian interviews Bullock about her role in the film The Blind Side.
I mean, I loved the story but I didn’t know how to play her and it was a while before I got there. The director said, after about eight months, ‘Why don’t you go and see Leigh Anne and see what I’m talking about? It’ll explain her.’ I met her and was really blown away by the energy she had. I stopped thinking about it like an actor just seeing a part, and the story is what finally got me.

Gravity
Bullock plays astronaut and medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone in this science fiction thriller written and directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Stone is on a mission with Lieutenant Matt Kowalski , played by George Clooney, when their shuttle is destroyed by high speed debris from a damaged Russian satellite. Kowalski saves Stone from drifting off into space and then together they must find a way to get back to Earth.
We had no idea if it would be successful. You’d explain that it was an avant-garde, existential film on loss and survival in space and everyone would be like: ‘OK …’ It didn’t sound like a film people would be drawn to.

Even those people that have been nominated more times than I can count will probably say the same thing: you don’t expect it, you don’t assume it and it’s just sweet.
