It was the first time Sandra Bullock was nominated for a Best Actress in Oscars. It was for her role in The Blind Side. And what do you know! She won!
She bested Hollywood greats Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren as well as Carey Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe. Wow! And she was so gracious in her acceptance speech! Congrats to her! I was teary-eyed when I watched it
