Why Sandra Bullock will win the Oscar for best actress on March 7—an analysis
The Blind Side, a surprise hit at, as of this writing, has grossed more than $240 million, and earned an Oscar nom for its star, 45 year old Sandra Bullock, whose first-rate performance as a Christian mother whose family takes in an African-American football player, surprised some. Bullock’s acting chops for dramatic stuff was strongly revealed in a little indie called Infamous when she played writer Harper Lee;
Why will Bullock triumph over Meryl Streep, who deserves the Oscar? Here is a list of the (slightly cynical) reasons.
-
Bullock, with two hits this year (The Proposal and Blind Side), has never won. Streep, with two wins and l5 nominations, is too on-the-nose, as they say in la-la land.
-
It’s an acknowledgement of the Christian audience, who really got behind the Blind Side release.
-
It’s a “family film,” usually in short supply as Oscar material.
-
Bullock also produces some of her movies.
-
It’s Bullock’s “turn”.
There are several women that I find extremely fascinating. The first is my mother she passed away 2 years ago but she was an awsome woman with a strength that I truly admired. Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and Sandra Bullock. The very first time I ever saw Sandra Bullock was in the movie Love Potion No.9 and though she played a sort of nerdy character in the beginning, as the movie progressed I began to see another side and in every movie she has ever starred in I found that she seemed real although she may have been reading lines that were written for her. Her true self is displayed in everything she does there is no phoneyness about her she is one of few actresses that I have seen that really bring about their true self in everything they do. That’s why I feel she is going to win the oscar. Because she knows how to be her real self and not just read some lines. She has a gift and I think everyone sees this. She is truly an amazing actress,.
