Page "Sandra Bullock" Paragraph 10

In November 2009, Bullock starred in The Blind Side, which opened at # 2 behind New Moon with $ 34. 2 million, making it her highest opening weekend ever.

The Blind Side is unique in that it had a 17. 6 % increase at the box office its second weekend, and it took the top spot of the box office in its third weekend.

The movie cost $ 29 million to make according to the Box Office Mojo.

It has grossed over $ 309 million to date, making it her domestic highest grossing film and the first movie in history to pass the $ 200 million mark with only one top-billed female star.

She won the award for Best Actress at the Golden Globes, Academy Awards, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance in The Blind Side.

Bullock had initially turned down the role three times due to a discomfort with portraying a devout Christian.

Winning the " Oscar " also gave her another unique distinction — since she won two " Razzies " the day before, for her performance in All About Steve, she is the only performer ever to have been named both " Best " and " Worst " for the same year.

Sandra was asked to return her 2009 " Worst Actress of the Year " Razzie award ; however, this wasn't because of a change of heart for Bullock's performance but because Bullock personally accepted her Razzie and accidentally took the original one-of-a-kind prototype Razzie, as opposed to the cheap trinket normally handed out to celebrities.
