America’s Sweetheart, Best, Worst Actress
Within 24 hours Sandra Bullock—one of America’s most endearing actresses—received one of the highest honors of the film industry and one of the lowest when she personally accepted her Best Actress Oscar for “The Blind Side” and her Worst Actress Razzie for “All About Steve.”
On March 6, Bullock showed up to receive the Razzie at Barnsdall Gallery for her unfortunate turn as an obsessed-with-Bradley-Cooper-crossword-puzzle-maker in the critically panned summer comedy. She pulled a red wagon full of DVDs that she said she was distributing to the audience, referencing that she didn’t believe many of them had seen the ill-fated film.
“I think this is an extraordinary award. 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,” she joked at the podium.
The next night, she attended the 82nd Academy Awards alongside husband Jesse James and took home the golden Best Actress award for her positively-reviewed spin on the real-life Leigh Anne Tuohy, a woman who adopted now-NFL star Michael Oher.
Bullock was on a roll this awards’ season winning the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for her part in the fall blockbuster sports drama, but she still did not believe she would win, and while her Razzie speech brought laughter, her Oscar speech brought laughter as well as tears.
“I would like to thank what this movie was about for me, which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from,” Bullock said. She also expressed love for her own mother, who passed away nine years ago from cancer.
After the ceremony, she joked with various publications that her Razzie and Academy Award will sit beside each other at her house.
“They’re going to sit side by side, as they should,” Bullock, 45, said backstage after the Oscars. “They’ll sit side by side in a nice little shelf somewhere… the Razzie maybe on a different shelf, lower.”
I have always loved Sandra Bullock and even watched “All About Steve” in the theater. (Yes, it’s pretty much as horrible as they say.) It makes me adore her even more that she embraced her Razzie the night before the coveted Oscar and can laugh at her own career missteps.

I haven’t seen All About Steve, but I really like Sandra Bullock. She’s pretty, smart, funny, and a great actress. Kudos on the awards
I haven’t seen “All about Steve ” yet but if you say the movie wasn’t the best one ever I trust your judgement…Sandra Bullock acting bad, on the other hand,I cannot imagine myself.
I’ll never forget Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. That’s when I became a fan

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A
A: "This is a tricky situation since you don’t want to upset or alienate either your husband or his mother. But it’s also perfectly reasonable to expect some private family time.
Before you do anything, think about how the rest of your family feels. Do your kids love spending time with her? How important is it to your husband that she comes along? Be sure to consider their needs and how valuable their relationships are so you understand better why she is included so often.
Then talk to your husband in private. Tell him you like spending time with your mother-in-law, but say you crave more bonding time as a nuclear family. (Your husband may not even realize how frequently he invites her.) Make it clear that you don’t want to cut her out of all family outings, but try to work together to find a way to limit the amount or types of activities she joins. For example, agree to invite her for just a portion of your weekend rather than the entire thing. That way, she’ll feel included and you’ll still have time together as a family."

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A
A: "I won’t ask how long you’ve been sporting this Cro-Magnon beast (maybe you kept hoping the caveman look would come back some day?), but now that you’ve manned up to the task of taming it, there are a few things you should know.
First, maybe you should think about switching barbers. A good barber should have taken care of this the last time you got a haircut (with a little tact and a lot of skill). But if you want to try and tackle it on your own, we’ll tell you how.
Second, it’s an old wives’ tale that the more often you shave, the thicker the hair will grow back.
That said, take a beard trimmer, switch it to the No. 1 or 2 setting (for a close cut) and run it over your eyebrows to thin out the hair. Then use a razor to remove the hair in the middle. For a guidepost on how much hair to remove, use the inside corner of your eye -- that’s where the brows should start. Next, use a pair of tweezers to remove any other superficial hairs and flyaways, being careful to stay away from plucking the arch of the eyebrow -- that’s when you’ll risk looking too manicured. And believe me, your girlfriend doesn’t want to be seen with a man whose eyebrows look nicer than hers.
If this is starting to sound too complicated, consider heading to a salon esthetician. She can help determine the best shape for your brows (straight or with an arch) based on your face shape and features. But stay away from waxing -- it looks more obviously “manscaped,” and the hair grows back unevenly. If you’ve read this far and your unibrow is starting to get cold feet, don’t worry: We heard they’re casting extra werewolves for the next Twilight movie."
