Sandra Bullock – Best Actress Drama: Golden Globe Predictions
Sandra Bullock, The Blind SideWho would have thought a mere six weeks ago? I don't believe many were expecting The Blind Side to earn even one quarter of what it has so far ($220m at the domestic box office and counting) or that Sandra Bullock would be named the top moneymaking star of 2009, the first woman on that spot since Julia Roberts back in 1999.
Critics weren't crazy about The Blind Side, but the public is. And for the most part even critics aren't screaming bloody murder over the fact that Bullock has been nominated for a best actress SAG Award and will be probably up for an Oscar when nominations are announced on Feb. 2. After all, Bullock has been around for about two decades, she's paid her dues, and hers is the rebirth story of the year. And she's so darned cute. It's her time to get some kind of recognition.
Bullock's competition: Carey Mulligan (An Education), Helen Mirren (The Last Station), Gabourey Sidibe (Precious), and Emily Blunt (Young Victoria). Mulligan is one of the two critics' faves (Meryl Streep is the other) of 2009, but her movie is very small, she's a Hollywood outsider and I don't believe the Sally Hawkins Effect will be manifested again this year.
