I'm still torn on Sandra being an Oscar-winner.

Posted by ty97 Mar 8 '10, 09:18

She's great, her speech was good, she looked classic, etc, etc. But I don't know that Sandra Bullock is Oscar-caliber.

Responses:

I think she was fantastic in the role and I have no issue with her winning for it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:27 2
- Didn't Goldie Hawn make this movie already? -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 8, 09:39
- For me, it's the same reason Jaimee Foxx won for Ray: she "turned into" that person. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 8, 09:37
"And you thought she was just okay in Miss Congeniality 2." Heh. -- nm - Steve Martin Mar 8, 09:25 1
- I was hoping he'd say "All ABout Steve" and comment on all of her 2009 movies - MDH Mar 8, 09:26
I don't think it's fundamentally different than Julia Roberts'. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 09:24 4

- yeah. And overall Sandra is probably a better actress with slightly more range. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:24 1
  - L3! -- nm - Spawn Mar 8, 09:27
- I agree -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:24
If Halle Berry, Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman can have Oscars...I see no reason Sandy can't. -- nm - Jim Mar 8, 09:23 18
- How do you think she compares with Charlize Theron? -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 8, 09:30 5
  - Charlize really seemed to figure something out about that time. She's been nothing but compelling since - Reagen Mar 8, 09:33 1
    - able to be choosier with scripts, maybe -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:39
  - In Monster? Theron was unrecognizable and was fantastic, IMO. Better than all names I listed above. -- nm - Jim Mar 8, 09:32
  - Charlize has a better rack -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:30 1
    - "My girlfriend looks a little like Charlize Theron...and a lot like Dog the Bounty Hunter." nm - Dignan Mar 8, 09:32
- Witherspoon too -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:26 3
  - Election buys her a bit of leeway, IMO. nm - Dignan Mar 8, 09:28

  - Another good one. -- nm - Jim Mar 8, 09:27
- I'll disagree with you on Kidman. I think she's been great in at least six films. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 09:25 7
  - Amazingly enough...she wasn't even the best actress in the movie she won for. - Jim Mar 8, 09:27 5
    - It's the way it goes. Billy Bob Thornton blew Halle Berry off the screen in Monster's Ball yet wasn't even nominated. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 09:28 4
      - There aren't many movies he's been in where he wasn't the best. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:29

        I hate to say this, but race played a role that year, to some degree. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:30 1

- I think she's proud of this performance, but understands that there was an odd confluence of events that led to this. - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:31 1
  - woo! demolition man 2! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 09:39
eh. There are plenty of overall-average (or less) actors who have won Oscars. She wasn't spectacular in the movie, but there were worse injustices - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:21
I don't think the performance was oscar caliber but for some reason I'm not terribly miffed. - Mel Profit Mar 8, 09:20 2
- I think in attitude and likeability, she's the female George Clooney. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:23 1
  - I don't disagree at all. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 8, 09:24
How can you say that about a Razzie Award winner? -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:19 2
- i love when people show up to claim them, good for her. -- nm - Andie Mar 8, 09:27

would've been great if she acted the slightest bit surprised or emotional when they said her name... -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:19 13
- I honestly think she was heavily medicated. -- nm - Reagen Mar 8, 09:26
- to answer her own question, yes, you finally wore them down, Sandra - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 09:21 3
  - It's refreshing that she understands and recognizes the politics and business of it. - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:27 2
    - kinda. but at least have the grace to not be so obvious about it when you're accepting -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 09:29 1
      - So you preferred the Monique route. - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:35
- nah, I don't want fake surprise (I love Kate Winslette, but the faux shock is dumb) -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:20 7
  - and Kate Winslet looked stunning, btw. Probably my favotire dress of the night. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 09:24 1
    - She looked very tone, but not overly so. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 09:26
  - Winsy can fake anything she wants with me* - HdnAgnda Mar 8, 09:24 1
    - laughing at the IM -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:25
  - you can at least look like you're enjoying the moment. - znufrii Mar 8, 09:21 2
    - She was having a blast up there. -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 09:22 1
      - once she was up on stage she loosened up a bit, sure. - znufrii Mar 8, 09:23
