Aravinth's real world

In a super competitive category, the 2010 Screen Actors Guild award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role went to Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side. Bullock also won the Golden Globe for Best Actress and tied with Meryl Streep as co-winners of the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Best Actress award. “If this were only not televised so I could use the appropriate words I’m feeling right now,” joked Bullock upon receiving her trophy.

“I’m Sandra Bullock, and I’m an actor. And I am so proud to say that in a room full of faces that have inspired me and allowed me six years ago to say, ‘I’m going to stop working,’ – because I wasn’t doing good work – and audition again. And you said good-bye to the money, and you say good-bye to all the things that you became comfortable with. And in 2006, I sat in this room with a little film called Crash and I got to look at the people who got me here. So to the Screen Actors Guild, thank you so much.”

Bullock also spoke directly to her husband, Jesse James. “You get dressed in monkey suits and you sit at tables with people you don’t know. And I leave you there and then you come back with Morgan Freeman’s email…I don’t know how you do it. I love you so much and you’re really hot.
