The day before she is favoured to win an Oscar, Sandra Bullock
was crowned with the dubious title of worst actress of 2009.
Bullock, whose drama The Blind Side has made her the odds-on
favourite to claim the best actress Oscar, was given a Razzie Award
for worst female performance in All About Steve.
No performer has ever won a Razzie and an Oscar the same
year.
Unlike most Razzie honourees, Bullock showed up to collect the
award, dragging a cart of DVDs to hand out to members who she
accused of never seeing the dud movie.
"Thank you for ruining my career with a very bad decision," Bullock
told the group, while threatening to read her dialogue from the
role until four in the morning.
The actress played a socially awkward designer of newspaper
crosswords, who falls in love with a cameraman (Bradley Cooper) and
stalks him in the movie.
Organizers of the Razzies, an annual event that began in 1980 to
spoof the glitzy Oscars, which take place on Sunday, also named
Bullock and Cooper the worst screen couple of 2009.
Hollywood stars are rare sightings at the Razzies, but in 2005,
Halle Berry claimed her award for Catwoman, and brought along the
Oscar she previously won for her role in Monster's Ball.
The Razzies this year also turned their inside Hollywood sarcasm on
one of the biggest box office hits of 2009, Transformers: Revenge
of the Fallen.
The critically panned blockbuster was named worst film, and
organizers bestowed a second trophy of shame on its director,
Michael Bay.
Special awards were given for the past decade.
The 2000 film Battlefield Earth, based on the writings of
Scientology creator L Ron Hubbard, was named worst picture of the
decade.
"I especially want to thank the dozens and dozens of people who
went to see the movie," said J.D. Shapiro, a brave Battlefield
writer who showed up to collect the award.
Comedian Eddie Murphy, who has had several box office duds in
recent years, and Paris Hilton were named the worst actor and
actress of the 2000s, respectively.
The so-called "winners" were determined by mailing ballots to 657
voters in the United States and 19 foreign countries.

Worst picture: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Worst actor: The Jonas Brothers (Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert
