I have older family members who truly love this film and Bullock's performance. When asked why they enjoyed the film they replied, "Because that Sandra Bullock seems like a nice girl". And I think that is the reason this performance has brought her this far. Audiences are fond of her and clearly her peers, and some critics groups, are also. It just proves that awards are more of a popularity contest instead of a recognition of a job well done.Billy Held An Oscarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462888920400921139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640233872626289402.post-68629425124612054522010-01-31T19:06:26.626-08:002010-01-31T19:06:26.626-08:00And yes "growth" is one of the many fact...And yes "growth" is one of the many factors considered when making evaluations.<br /><br />Even in film reviews critics tend to brag about an actor's growth...If it's there.
