Sandra Bullock Wins Best Actress Oscar Award

“I have so many people to thank but not enough time. But I want to thank my family and my family of the film, everyone who showed kindness and also those who were mean. I want to thank my mom…,” said Bullock, who broke into tears while giving her acceptance speech.

Bullock, who got the best and worst actress awards back to back, beats Helen Mirren (”The Last Station”), Carrey Mulligan (”An Education”), Gabourey Sidibe (”Precious”) and Meryl Streep (”Julie & Julia”).
