To anyone who has ever read The Blind Side, they will realize just how bad the movie version is. Focusing the movie on this white woman was not the intentions of the writer. Beyond that, Bullock gives nothing more than her usual workmanlike performance. Would she give a heartfelt acceptance speech? Ya betcha! Give her an award for best speech then. Does she seem like a nice person? You bet she does. So what does that have to do with winning an acting award. It would be one of the Academy's great embarassments if she were to win, and one that would be endlessly criticized, and definitely one of those awards that years from now people will say, how the hell did THAT happen?! Other than best picture, this is the only category that offers any sort of suspense. Lets not turn it into a joke. I'm for Streep, but based on merit, ALL of the other four nominees deserve this award over Bullock.

How can they not sing their (stupid) NOMINATED song? What is all this bullshit with the Academy lately? I WANT to see Marion Cotillard perform live, and Anika Noni Rose sing in front of a screen showing a "Princess and the Frog" montage. Plus the beautiful "Paris 36" star singing that lovely song no one knows, another rousing "Frog" number that could bring Randy Newman onstage. Viewers like the music. And not random, thematically ambiguous dance numbers but the actual songs that were considered good enough and relevant enough for the Academy to nominate in the first place.

I want the best for Sandra, I want her to succeed, but I don't want to see ANY more "vehicles" like The Blind Side or Crash. I'd like to see her in a film that EARNS its emotions. I hope she's up to such challenges. No offense, but until then I think the Oscar will be devalued if one of the other nominees don't win this year.

Go Sandra! I hope she wins and cannot wait to here her speech. Charming, lovely. I'm looking forward to more good work from her in the future. I'm glad she mentioned no "slipping backward even one small bit" at the Oscars luncheon. I am excited to see her in more vehicles like "The Blindside" and "Crash." Some say Meryl Streep disappeared into her portrayal of Julia Child, but I don't agree. I thought she did a fine job, but there was never a time I didn't see Meryl behind the look created for her.

Meryl Streep is going to win.
