Sandra Bullock Backstage at the Oscars Part I: Kissing Meryl Streep; Ryan Reynolds Naked
Q. Sandra, congratulations.
A. Thank you.
Q. I just would love to hear the story about Clooney throwing you in a pool.
A. Yeah. See I could have taken that moment and gotten him back. There was also Tom Cruise involved in that as well, and I told them one day, in a very public forum, I would get them back, but George looked so tired tonight. I saw his little eyes and said, I can’t do it to him tonight. Yeah. It was you might want to ask George [...]

Sandra Bullock’s chat with entertainment reporters can be seen below following her Academy Award win on March 7. Bullock discussed the unexpected success of The Blind Side, her "surprising" Oscar win, and Meryl Streep’s fun-loving character, but refused to give details about George Clooney being mean to her or to tell a questioner what husband Jesse James whispered in her ear when she was named the year’s Best Actress.
The transcript below (in two parts; follow the link at the bottom) is from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
A. It’s like an auction in here with the numbers.
Q. Hi, Sandra. As a fellow [...]

Sandra Bullock, Jesse James & the Oscar Curse (Nonsense)
Sandra Bullock’s separation from reality show personality Jesse James, her husband of nearly five years, has become major news because the actress has just won a Best Actress Academy Award. Just yesterday, she canceled her appearance at the London premiere of The Blinde Side due to "unforeseen personal reasons."
“I leave you alone at the table and you come back with Morgan Freeman’s e-mail," Bullock told James during her SAG Awards acceptance speech. "I don’t know how you do it … I love you so much! And you’re so hot!" This was in late January. At the Oscars on March 7, Bullock thanked her mother, mothers in general, her "lover" Meryl Streep, and expressed her admiration for her fellow Best Actress [...]

Oscar Box Office Effect: CRAZY HEART, THE BLIND SIDE, THE HURT LOCKER Benefit
At the North American box office, Crazy Heart (above), The Blind Side, and The Hurt Locker were the only three movies that benefited from their Oscar victories last Sunday.
Starring Jeff Bridges as a down-and-out country singer who strikes up a relationship with a younger woman (Maggie Gyllenhaal), Crazy Heart earned Bridges the Best Actor Oscar, in addition to another statuette for Best Original Song ("The Weary Kind" by T Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham).
More than any other film, Crazy Heart has been immensely helped by the awards season buzz. Following Bridges’ win the film lost a mere 5.7 percent from the previous weekend — the smallest decrease among the top twelve films at the North American box office according [...]
