Razzies 'laud' 'Transformers' and Bullock
Monday, March 08, 2010

LOS ANGELES -- Sandra Bullock, nominated for best actress at the Academy Awards was a winner before the curtain went up on last night's Oscar show.

Ms. Bullock walked into the Kodak Theatre for the Oscars just after gardnering an award that most aspiring actors pray they'll never receive.

Ms. Bullock, who drew raves for her performance in "The Blind Side," was honored twice Saturday for something very different at the 30th annual Razzie Awards, which good-naturedly tweak Hollywood every Oscar weekend for the films it cranked out at the other end of the quality spectrum.

In Ms. Bullock's case it was "All About Steve," the comedy that cast her as a lovesick stalker and earned her honors as worst actress and worst screen couple (with Bradley Cooper).

It could have been worse for Ms. Bullock, though. "All About Steve," which she helped produce, also was nominated as worst picture of 2009, but that (dis)honor went instead to "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," which wound up as the night's big winner (or loser, depending on your point of view), collecting Razzies for worst director (Michael Bay) and worst screenplay (Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman).

In ceremonies at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre in Hollywood, other awards went to:

• Siblings Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas, who collectively were named worst actor for "Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience."

• Sienna Miller for her supporting role in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra."

• Billy Ray Cyrus for his supporting role in "Hannah Montana: the Movie."

• "Land of the Lost" for worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel.

The Razzies are presented by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation based on ballots sent to 657 journalists, industry workers and fans.
