Sandra Bullock warmed up for the Academy Awards with a stop at the Razzies to collect a dubious honour: a worst-actress prize for her romantic comedy flop "All About Steve."
"I think this is an extraordinary award," said Bullock, who had promised throughout awards season that if she won the Razzie, she would accept it in person. "And I didn't realize that, in Hollywood, all you had to do was say you'd show up, and then you'd get the award. If I'd known that, I would have said I was appearing at the Oscars a long time ago."
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was picked as last year's worst picture and won two other Razzies, worst director for Michael Bay and worst screenplay for Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.
Bay and his team probably will not lose any asleep over it. Though reviled by critics, "Transformers" took in $402.1 million domestically, No. 2 on the 2009 box-office chart behind "Avatar."
Bullock, who also shared the Razzie for worst screen couple with "All About Steve" co-star Bradley Cooper, was the first acting winner to show up at the Razzies since Halle Berry won worst-actress for "Catwoman" five years ago.
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."
The worst-actor Razzie went to siblings Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas for "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience." . . .

Razzie voters also made worst-of-the-decade picks, with John Travolta's science-fiction debacle "Battlefield Earth" winning worst picture.
I think I heard that she is the first actress to be nominated for both a razzie and an Oscar in the same year.
Good for her for picking it up. I always respect people who can laugh at themselves.
I guess by now her Oscar fate is known?
I think this category was invented just so that they could give Battlefield Earth one more Razzie.
Don’t know her politics, but being from Hollyweird I can imagine, but that was classy.
She’s a whiny lib. Who Gives a s%$^?
WTG Sandra!
They took an excellent book (Battlefield Earth) and turned into one of the worst films ever.
Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts are two actresses that never appealed to me in any way whatsoever, talent or otherwise. Yes, Sandra is a lib.
There was a Freep article previously about her politics..and it’s pretty liberal. YET she somehow got the braincell to state that a Republican, southern lady was able to accomplish all these things.
her movie was based on a real true life story..

I totally agree with you!
but as for Mizz Roberts...
Well from what I can tell they are all liberals or secret conservatives/moderates.
I never liked Julia Roberts myself. Sandra Bullock has done a few good roles, but not a lot. Nothing in the last 15 years that I can recall.
Sandra is an attractive woman, while as for Julia, why the long face?
I think she also wins the “lemons to lemonade” award for defending her acting with such good humor.
Julia’s ugliness comes from the inside, and she has a lot of it.
(And for the record, Molly Ringwald should’ve done “Pretty Woman” instead)
her movie was based on a real true life story..
++++++++++++
Which movie do you mean? I don’t really pay a lot of attention to Hollywood.
Yeah, I gained a lot of respect for Halle Berry when she picked up her Razzie.
Same with Ms. Bullock.
You must. You on the thread and posting, aren't you.
You did not see The Blind Side. It is a great movie, and she was great in it.
She plays a Christian, republican, southern woman, and she plays her with class.
