The Academy of Motion Picture once again created a monster. In fact, these guys are the Dr. Frankenstein of our time and they don't seem to slow down any soon. the monsters they create are of different kinds: on the one hand there are the legendary actors like Peter O'Toole who never got any Oscar out of 8 nominations (the Honorary Award is his only consolation) and Meryl Streep who gets nominated every year and only has 2 Oscars. Martin Scorsese had also been a monster for many years until he eventually won his award for The Departed. Another kind of monsters are mediocre actors that give a performance slightly better that usual and get awarded for that. That is the case with Charlize Theron in Monster (how ironic), Halle Berry in Monster Ball (how ironic again) and Reese Witherspoon in Walk The Line.
The latest addition to the monster family is Sandra Bullock for her part in The Blind Side. Sandra is a great cult actress and her movies are almost always fun to watch, but I would never consider even as much as nominating her for an Academy Award. The case becomes even more grotesque when considering the fact that 24 hours before winning the Oscar she won a Razzie. This can't be good.
Sandra didn't have much time to celebrate as she discovered together with the whole world that her husband was pulling a Tiger-Woods on her. Now, if there's a bigger idiot than a bunch of guys who decide to give Sandra Bullock an Oscar, it must be the guy who's cheating on her.
