## The Blind Side and the 2010 awards season
Bullock's performance as [Leigh Anne Tuohy](https://www.edgepedia.org/leigh-anne-tuohy) in the biographical drama *The Blind Side* (2009) swept the major precursors and the ceremony itself. She won the [Academy Award for Best Actress](https://www.edgepedia.org/academy-award-for-best-actress) at the [82nd Academy Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/82nd-academy-awards), where the film was also nominated for Best Picture.[2](https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2010/F) For that same role, she won the Golden Globe in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama category as well as the SAG Award for a leading female performance.[4](https://goldenglobes.com/person/sandra-bullock/)
The same season produced an unusual double. Bullock won the Razzie Award for Worst Actress for the romantic comedy *[All About Steve](https://www.edgepedia.org/all-about-steve)* (2009), attended the Razzie ceremony in person, and handed out DVD copies of the film to the audience, asking them to watch it.[6](https://time.com/3666870/razzie-awards-2015/) The Razzie ceremony fell the night before the Oscars, so she collected the Worst Actress award and the Best Actress Oscar on consecutive days.[6](https://time.com/3666870/razzie-awards-2015/) Later that year she received the MTV Generation Award at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards for her career and for entertaining generations of MTV viewers.[8](https://ir.paramount.com/static-files/52112041-4b87-4167-a416-118ab96568da)
