She won the Razzie Awards for the Worst Actress yesterday and she turned up to receive it and make a speech.

"You say that now"

Excellent stuff - why don't more slebs do this sort of thing? They almost invariably go up in people's estimation when they do.

is it just me....

or do you get the strange compulsion to see the film now? I'd never even heard of it till this morning. Although I am also fearful as the last time the winner of worst actress collected their award it was Halle Berry for Catwoman and that by far is the worst film I have ever seen. To the point where no matter how bad a film is now I can always remind myself that Catwoman was worse.

It doesn't really matter what dross she's made

like Speed 2,for example. I will not have a word said against her.

Why not? Well, the fact that she is very easy on the eye helps but, unusually she a) seems to have a sense of humour about what she does and b) isn't a total bitch and c) strikes me as raising the average IQ of the Hollywood fraternity by several points.

And I'm still getting over that uniform in Demolition Man. Sad, really...

It's always pleasing

when someone shows they have a sense of humour about what they do and who they are.She's on for a double tonight.Would she, assuming she gets the Oscar, be the first to win an award for being the best and worst in one round of awards?

Rachael Whiteread won the 1993 Turner

and the 1993 K Foundation Award on the same night.

The Razzies

have totally gone too far this time. They have decreed that Battlefield Earth is the worst fillum of the decade. Utter tommyrot. It was definitely one of the best comedies I have seen this century and as sci-fi films go it was certainly on a par with Black Hole, Flesh Gordon & Galaxy Quest.

She had class back in 2004

when made Harvard's Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same ...

Harvard

They seem to get the best out of famous people.

Here is John Wayne showing a sense of humor about his hair:

A class act

Could you see Julia Roberts doing this?

He looks like a psycho who lives in a trailer park...

and dines exclusively on Chicken McNuggets and Schlitz beer.

Patrick Crowther | 8 March 2010 - 7:05pm

He's called Jesse James

and yes he is related.

So...

she is now worst actress and best actress. Methinks the truth lies somewhere inbetween.

Patrick Crowther | 8 March 2010 - 9:41am

Long overdue.

Yes, we can talk about The Blind Side, but what about her work in the Miss Congeniality films, Speed 2: Cruise Control and that one about the woman being chased around by the internet? Not forgetting, of course, a fine run of slackly paced rom coms, just one of which sticks in the memory and that's only because of its poor apostrophe usage.

Well done, Sandra. Well done for turning up.

The Net

I can watch it again and again and again.

And Speed.

I think she's marvellous.

Am I the only admirer or her sterling work in...

... Demolition Man?

I am serious here, that's a fun film.

Sandra Bullock story....

Story heard from a film journo friend...

Sandra Bullock was dining al fresco with her family on holiday in Sardinia when she was approached by a couple of English tourists with their kids who asked for an autograph. She very genially explained that she was with her family eating and now wasn't an appropriate time for a photo etc but if the family could let her know where they were eating that evening, she'd happily sign an autograph etc. So, the family told Ms Bullock where they planned to eat, thought no more of it until that evening, Sandra Bullock turned up, sat and chatted for half an hour and posed for photo's. Took the families address and upon their return home found a package from LA containing other SB paraphenalia.

That is a class act.

Bugger.

I feel like a heel now.

I take it all back. Sandra, I love you. I thought you were great as Harper Lee and the first Speed film is awesome.

Albert Edward | 8 March 2010 - 10:41am

I think they called it...

"The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"

Six Dog | 8 March 2010 - 10:44am

For short, yes.

But the full title is "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down Because If It Did, It Would Explode".

Even now. ;)

If actors win for turning up

would a musician win for just tuning up?
