Sandra Bullock

OSCAR LOVES SANDY LOVES US: You could be forgiven for mistaking this past weekend’s Academy Awards for the 2010 Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Film fest director Roger Durling was not the least bit surprised, chalking up Bullock’s win to playing a real-life character, being a comedienne with acting chops, and striking box-office gold with The Blind Side. But then there’s “the clincher,” says Durling: “Sandra’s self-deprecation and humility, as displayed in this photo — and you have your reason why she was unbeatable.”
