Oopsy, Oscar-nom Bullock also up for a Razzie

I've written before about how two well-made, entertaining movies out of three amounted to a very good comeback year, of sorts, for Austin-area resident Sandra Bullock.

As for 2010?

So-so so far, even though the personable actress drew her first Academy Award nomination for "The Blind Side" early Tuesday morning as she slept, according to what Bullock later told Matt Lauer during a "Today Show" telephone hook-up.

So what can possibly be negative?

A day earlier, according to an article posted on the People Web site and other sources, Bullock also got her name tossed into the hat by the Golden Raspberry Foundation for her offbeat, manic performance in "All About Steve," heretofore to be known as "that Sandra Bullock movie that just won't go away." 

In case you're unfamiliar with The Razzies, that means Ms. Bullock, while being considered for best actress by Oscar, is also under scrutiny as worst actress by the Razzie folks. 

The awful news is that if she does win in both races, Bullock will be the first actor (male or female) in history to pull off what Stephen M. Silverman in People calls "the double-barreled win" in the same year.

The good news?  Bullock has some mighty stiff competition for worst actress.  In addition to Megan Fox's dual nominations for "Transformers:  Revenge of the Fallen" and "Jennifer's Body," she's up, no down against  BeyoncĂ© ("Obsessed"), Miley Cyrus ("Hannah Montana:  The Movie") and Sarah Jessica Parker ("Did You Hear About the Morgans?").

Good luck/bad luck, Sandra.
