Sandra Bullock to display Oscar trophy
Sandra BullockHollywood actress Sandra Bullock plans to display her Oscar and Golden Raspberry trophies side by side to remind her of the highs and lows of the movie industry.

"They’re going to sit side by side, as they should. You know we’re in the entertainment business. That’s what we’re supposed to do. You take the good with the not so good”, said Bullock.

"I had the best time at the Razzies. It is what it is and, you know, it probably means more that both of them (awards) happened at the same time because it’s the great equalizer. Nothing ever lets me get too full of myself. It quickly chops me off at the knees, and I like it that way because it keeps things stable.

"They’ll sit side by side in a nice little shelf somewhere; the Razzie maybe on a different shelf, lower."

Sandra Bullock at the peak of her career
Sandra BullockHollywood actress Sandra Bullock says that with the success of ‘The Blind Side’, and sharing the Best actress award with veteran star Meryl Streep at Critics Choice Awards, she has reached the peak of her career

"I’m just so happy to be here and I got to share the stage with Meryl Streep”, said Bullock.

"I just adore her, so that for me was the height of my career and it just happened. I’m so thankful and it’s unexpected, as most good things are," she added.

She says that filming for ‘The Blind Side’ has also helped her friendship circle.

"I met this extraordinary family the Touhys, who I wish I would have remembered to thank since they already did the extraordinary deed and Michael Oher did the most extraordinary thing in opening his heart and allowing himself to be enveloped by this family,” said Bullock.

“They changed my life and I am so happy to call them friends,” she added.

The actress has also bagged the Golden Globe award for Best actress for The Blind Side.

Sandra Bullock stands 2009’s top Hollywood star
Sandra BullockIn the eyes of US movie theater owners, Sandra Bullock shined as 2009’s top Hollywood star at the box office, as the actress nicknamed “America’s Sweetheart” scored with audiences after a two year absence from screens.

Quigley Publishing Company’s annual list of top money making stars, based on a poll of hundreds of theater executives, had Bullock beat out such stars as George Clooney and Denzel Washington, on the strength of her roles in “The Proposal” and “The Blind Side”.

Romantic comedy “The Proposal” made $315 million at worldwide box offices following its June release, and football drama “The Blind Side” has made $193 million only in the US and Canada since its November 20 release, with its roll-out in other countries still to come.

Bullock, who also starred in the 2009 comedy "All About Steve" with its $34 million take in the U.S. and Canada, is the eighth woman to top Quigley’s list of top money making stars, which the company has put out each year since 1932.

Quigley Publishing said the list does not rank stars only on how much cash their films made, but on what theater owners say about who attracts audiences on their star power alone.

For instance, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” was the top movie at US and Canada box offices in 2009 with more than $400 million, but many in Hollywood attribute that to the appeal of the franchise itself and the toys it’s based on.

The last woman to top Quigley’s list was Julia Roberts in 1999. She failed to make Quigley’s 2009 top 10 this year, after her turn in romantic comedy “Duplicity” bombed at the box office.

Bullock scored her first smash hit with 1994 action movie “Speed” and became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but before “The Proposal” she had not starred in a film since 2007.

“Public Enemies” star Johnny Depp came in at No 2 on Quigley’s top 10 list, followed by Matt Damon, George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and Denzel Washington.

Sandra Bullock to seduce Prince
Sandra BullockThese days Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock is busy fantasising about seducing popstar Prince so that she can inspire him to write a hit song for her.

The “Miss Congeniality” star has idolised the “Purple Rain” hitmaker since her early teens but was too shy to meet him when she had the chance.

"There was a moment in New York in some nightclub when he was there years ago when I was a waitress. I kept walking by him, hoping he would notice. He never looked at me. I think maybe he saw me once and wrote me off and I’m pretending I might have a chance to inspire a Prince song," the 45-year-old actress said.

Bullock who is married to celebrity mechanic Jesse James is still hopeful to catch the eye of Prince but her husband need not worry too much as the actress fears shattering of her dreams if she was to actually hang-out with her pint-sized crush.

"I’ve seen the concerts and I don’t want to meet the man who makes me feel sexy. Maybe he’ll hate me and then I’ll 0lose my sexiness," Bullock added.
