Sandra Bullock Is Actually Kinda Cool
So The Oscars were last night, and of course people wore pretty dresses and gold statues were handed out and James Cameron went home to wipe away his tears with billions of dollars in cash. Oh, and Sandra Bullock became the first person to win both an Oscar and a Razzie award (for Best and Worst Actress respectively), and she was actually pretty cool about the whole thing.Bullock implied that many Razzie voters had not actually seen the movie but cast ballots for her hoping to get her to show up at the awards. Bullock said if they watched the DVD - "I mean really watch it" - and decided it was not the worst performance of the year after all, then she would come back next year and "give back the Razzie. ... then we'll go drink afterwards."

And of course, her Oscar acceptance speech was equally badass.
"So... if I can take this moment to thank Helga B. for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18 because she was right," Sandra continued. "I would've done what she said I was gonna do. For making me practice every day when I got home. Piano, ballet, whatever it is I wanted to be. She said to be an artist, you had to practice every day, and for reminding her daughters that there's no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. So, to that trailblazer, who allowed me to have that. And this." (Source)
Okay, so while I certainly think there were actresses who deserved the Oscar more than she did, I have to admit, the girl gives some seriously badass Oscar speeches. I'm tempted to give her every award in the world just to hear another one of her speeches. You know what? Eff it, Sandra Bullock, you win the Litely Salted Award for Best Speech. You may leave your words of acceptance in the comments. You can check out both speeches in full after the jump.
Yep, I've said it before and I'll say it again, S.B. gave one of the best acceptance speeches ever.
Wow, that was pretty damn awesome. The capper was the dedication to her "lover, Meryl Streep." A class act.
Thank you, Litely Salted. Let me just start by saying I brushed against Mo'Nique backstage and I thought she had two ferretts trying to escape out the bottom of her dress. First of all, I have to thank the internet (tears begin to well) that thought this movie had a chance when no one else did. And to my husband, for saving my life from Hell's Angels over and over and over again. But mostly I'd like to thank you guys, Litely Salted, for never being bound by the rules of what is a "real" award. (Holds award a loft) For everyone who ever believed in something pointless that seemed important at the time!
It's nice to see she has a sense of humor and doesn't take herself so seriously. Self important actors IRK me. The rest of Hollywood needs to get over itself. ^5 Sandy!
I really like Sandra. She seems like a sweet, down to earth and just 'REAL' kind of woman.
Hum, I think Sandra is fantastic! Do you think she is really having an affair on Jesse?
