Sandra Bullock’s Razzie (3-2010)
First of all let me state loud and clear: Sandy, stop your bellyaching, we all get short changed, right or wrong. And to be honest and frank, I saw you do good movies, and bad ones and the bad ones were not bad in theme or plot, but rather with you: “How so?” you say. Well let me put it gentile: you either were over acting or you look like you were acting or you were unsure of your acting at that moment you were acting. The best acting movie you've played in thus far, has been the Truman Capote one, when you played Harper Lee. You were natural. I think recently you’ve got an over gloried attitude about yourself, that may have something to do with it. People like you--who demand a lot of themselves and of those around you find out sooner or later they are not perfect so you don't have to be perfect, but you’re just an actor and will be forgotten ten-years after you’re dead, or twenty, and if you are lucky, maybe fifty--so don't worry about it. What you leave behind will be very little in what humanity can use that is really important.
Anyhow, I’m not surprised; and what might be comforting is, even Hemingway did a few flops in writing, for example, “Across the River and into the Trees.” I liked the book, but his writing skills were off, it was obvious. And for William Faulkner, his last book was his worse book, “The Reivers,” yet they made a movie of it, and it is comical. I bet you will not complain when you get the Best Actress Oscar, if you get it this coming week. So getting the Razzie for the worse actress balances you neck and head out (The Golden Raspberry statue, is just a reminder, you’re human, no more.)
To be down right clever, Mel Gibson was to me at one time a bad actor until he played Hamlet, and did it the best I’ve ever saw it done. And Hemingway, went out and wrote the big fish story, “The Old Man and the Sea,” and laughed all the way to the bank. Critics are not always right, and you are perhaps more right by saying in essence: did you really watch it. But like it or not, you even got to waltz with them a little, even Elvis knew that, so stop that crying and go do something that will make them bug-eyed.
