The co-founder of the Razzie Awards had to ask Sandra Bullock to return the award she won last month for "Worst Actress".
"We are ready to take the unprecedented step of asking a winner to return a Razzie," John Wilson, the awards co-founder, told the UK's Telegraph newspaper.
If you think this gesture has anything to do with her recent personal-life strife, think again: the Razzie judges haven't changed their mind about Sandra Bullock's performance in "All About Steve" - they just want the actual trophy back.
It seems that instead of giving Bullock the intentionally cheap (it's worth a whopping $4.79), spray-painted replica of the award that all winners receive, the Razzies organizers handed Sandra Bullock the original 30-year-old award.
Considering its age and rarity, the original has much more value as a collector's item.
Mr. Wilson explained the confusion to the Telegraph: "As Sandra was in such a rush after winning "Worst Actress" she ran off with the original handmade prototype which has been present at ceremonies since the 1980s."
Sandra Bullock showed up to accept the Worst Actress award for her role in the box-office bomb, "All About Steve," bringing with her hundreds of "Steve" DVDs and promising to return the award, if the Razzie judges changed their minds after watching the movie.
The following day, Sandra Bullock won the Best Actress Oscar for "The Blind Side," being the only person that ever won both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year.by FW Editor |
