I watched the Best Actress announcement hoping against hope that Meryl Streep would pull an upset. She didn't. I started watching Sandra Bullock's speech hoping she would mention her Worst Actress Razzie victory the previous evening, but gave up on it a few seconds later. After those "This Is Your Life" homages, I couldn't take any more speeches — even though I'd only managed to watch the first minute or so of Michelle Pfeiffer's homage to Jeff Bridges before I tuned out.

I'm not Nathaniel, but…
As the writer of this piece I'd like to clarify one thing: I like Sandra Bullock. BUT…
Meryl Streep hasn't won since 1982. She has had 12 nominations since then. It's time she won again.
Maybe next year…
As for the Razzies remark — it's just very ironic that the same performer won a Razzie and an Oscar the same weekend. That's a first.
Nathaniel,
I'm so glad Meryl didn't upset Sandra Bullock's award season glory. That would have been a sad thing. Sorry you are disappointed, but her win is a huge victory for her…and her supporters and fans. I'm glad the Sandra bashing is now meaningless and can have no effect on Oscar outcomes or history.
