When considering which celebrity they would most like to share a fence with, most Americans would prefer moving next door to Sandra Bullock, according to a new survey.

Each year, the website Zillow takes a survey to determine which celebrities Americans would most like to call their neighbors. In 2010, Bullock, who won a Best Actress Oscar this year for her performance in “The Blind Side,” received 26 percent of the vote. Bullock also endured a widely-publicized split from her husband, Jesse James, after it was revealed he had had a number of indiscretions. The story may have gained Bullock more sympathy from females, 30 percent of which said they would enjoy living in the same neighborhood as her.

As usual, Forbes made its list of the The World’s Most Powerful Celebrities. And guess who is the 8th one? You’re right, Sandra Bullock. See below all the informations given by the magazine:

Power Rank: 8
Pay: $56.0 mil
Category: Actresses
Pay Rank: 25
Web Rank: 17
Press Rank: 21
TV/Radio Rank: 6
Social Rank: 62

With two hit movies (The Proposal and The Blind Side) and an Oscar win, Bullock should have been sitting on top of the world. She is financially. With $56 million she’s the highest-earning actress. But a messy breakup with cheating husband Jesse James turned her into tabloid fodder. Bullock overcame adversity with news of an adoption and a public return at the MTV Movie Awards.

“Something tells me you all didn’t watch the film,” Sandra Bullock said as she accepted the Razzie Award as worst actress of 2009 for “All About Steve” at the Barnsdall Gallery Theater in Hollywood on Saturday night. “I thought no one went to see this film, but I know that there are more than 700 members here. That means that the majority of the 700 cast their vote, so that means 352 …?”

As she arrived on stage, she pulled a wagon filled with DVDs, noting, “We brought everybody in the audience a DVD of ‘All About Steve.’” She asked the audience members to watch it, rethink their decision and if they agree that she really wasn’t that bad, “I will come back next year. I will give back the Razzie.”

Showing good humor, Bullock accused members of voting for her just because she promised to attend.
“I said I would show up and then I miraculously won!” she said, adding that her victory is further proof in Hollywood that “all you have to do is show up and you get an award.”

“I brought the shooting script,” she added. “I’m willing to go through page by page, read the line the way I did it in the film and, if anyone wants to give me a line read of how I could’ve done it better…. We can do this till about 4 o’clock in the morning. Or you guys can just watch the movie and rethink your decision, and I’ll show up next year and we can go out for a drink afterward.” The audience cheered and applauded. Read the rest of this entry »

The Oscars are coming and I can’t stop reading the previews and I decided to post this Oscar Roundtable. It’s intersting to read what the critics have to say, let’s hope they’re right and Sandy wins that more than deserved Oscar:

3. In the Meryl Streep vs. Sandra Bullock Best Actress race, do you have a sense that a different actress might upset either of those two? Or do you think Sandra Bullock has it in the bag?

Wloszczyna: Gabby, Helen, Carey? I am just not feeling it although Mulligan is the only one with a teensy chance. What sentiment exists out there right now for one of those ladies to pull off a sideswipe? Sandra feels like a certainty to me.

Harris: I defer to sharper handicappers on this question. My sense from chatting with voters is that it’s very close between Bullock and Streep, and Sidibe and Mulligan are both getting support from people who feel like voting for a promising newcomer (which probably cancels out the possibility of either of them sneaking in to upset the two frontrunners).

Sandra Bullock has news for anyone waiting to see her give an acceptance speech at the Academy Awards – don’t hold your breath!

“I’m so not winning an Oscar,” Bullock, who received her first-ever nomination, as best actress for The Blind Side, told reporters at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Friday, where she received the American Riviera Award for her influence on film.

Bullock considers herself an expert oddsmaker for the annual awards show, so she has strong feelings about her own chance for victory. “Nine times out of ten I always pick who’s going to win,” the actress, 45, said. “And I already know who’s going to win. I’m not going to say, but nine times out of ten, I’m right.”

Bullock isn’t practicing false humility. After all, she’s already won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award this year. She’s just not overanxious to snag the trophy. “I have to say, all the ladies in our category, we don’t care who wins,” she said. “Someone’s going to win and the rest of us will be really happy for whoever won. We’re just happy to be here. And we like the company we’re in.” Read the rest of this entry »

Sandra Bullock wouldn’t reveal where she was on nomination day — “I like the privacy of our home bubble,” she said of her secret California hideaway — but was awakened by a phone call telling her she had snagged an acting nomination for “The Blind Side.” Despite her wins from SAG and the Golden Globes, she still didn’t think she would hear her name, so the night before it was her usual routine: cooking for her family, putting her kids to bed and then hitting the sack. “I’d always assumed that the road to Oscar was planned. I thought people chose projects that were considered ‘Oscar-worthy.’ No one wanted to make this film. I didn’t want to make this film for the better part of the year,” she said. “Everyone is as blindsided — can I say that? — as I am.” But as surprised as she was, Bullock said the most moving part of the morning was hearing that her movie got a best picture nomination. “That’s what makes me emotional. John Lee Hancock spent two years of his life on something that no one else saw. And now he’s been recognized!” She added: “I love that there’s 10 nominees. It doesn’t matter if they win, but I think it’s great that everyone gets their moment in the sun.” Bullock said she planned to talk her dad and sister and “enjoy some time with the people who loved me before I started doing all this.”
