And the Oscar goes to...
Sandra Bullock! Her contenders are strong and worthy opponents, but what really made Sandra bagged the highly coveted Oscar despite this being her 1st Academy Award nomination for an Actress in a Leading Role is definitely because she is so likeable by all Americans, and everyone else. Indeed, if we look at past Oscar trend in this category, we have witnessed Julia Roberts in her defining role in Erin Brockovich, Reese Witherspoon in Walk the Line, and now Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side. I can only say how much the audiences love to see an American Sweetheart in transition to an Academy Winner. And her winning speech is simply hilarious, typically her =)
Ironically, Sandra Bullock also picked up the Golden Raspberry award for the Worst Role of the year in All About Steve. She is really sporting, as she attended that ceremony the night before the Oscars and she said that she will keep her Razzie on the same shelf as her Oscar! LoL.

As for Best Picture, Im quite surprised Avatar didnt bag it, though its kinda expected Kathryn Bigelow will bag the Best Director for her film. Im so gonna catch the Hurt Locker next to be my own judge of which is better.
Im definitely a Movie Junkie, no doubt on that~
