Sandra Bullock took the Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild award, the Critics' Choice Movie Award and is the odds-on favorite to win as Best Actress at Sunday night's 2010 Oscars – but those are for her true-life role in the drama The Blind Side. For her multi-dimensional part of a newspaper crossword puzzle writer in the 2009 comedy All About Steve, Bullock has now claimed the fun award: the 2010 Golden Raspberry, or Razzie.
Besides the singular distinction for Bullock, All About Steve, which also starred Bradley Cooper in the titular role, also took the worst-screen-couple accolade (for Bullock and Cooper together).
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was cited as worst picture and for worst director (Michael Bay) and screenplay. Worst actor honors were divided among the Jonas Brothers for the Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience.
This also being the 30th anniversary of the Razzies, which were founded by irreverent copywriter and publicist John Wilson, special prizes were given for worst-of-the-decade selections. Those dis-honored include Battlefield Earth as worst picture of the 00's and, for their acting performances, Eddie Murphy and Paris Hilton.

Would Bullock Really Show Up?
Bullock had promised beforehand that she would claim her prize in person, calling her Oscar and Razzie nominations "exactly the way it should have happened, because it's a great leveler." Speaking last month, she added, "If you don't show up for something like the Razzies then you're a little hypocritical. You can't just show up for the good stuff."
Either way, Razzie win also puts into motion what could prove to be a record-establishing weekend for Bullock. Should she now also win the Oscar, she will be the first star ever to pull off the double hat trick in the same year.
Others have been dual winners but in non-acting categories, and some – such as Halle Berry – have already taken home both the Oscar and the Razzie, though not in the same year.
As it is, Berry also deserves a good sportsmanship award, for establishing the precedent of graciously accepting her Razzie in person. That momentous – and surprising – occurrence took place in 2005, when she was "honored" for her role in the stinker Catwoman.
Clutching her Razzie – which really looks more like a tacky golden pineapple than a raspberry – Berry said at the time, "I never in my life thought I would be up here. It's not like I ever aspired to be here." Shaking from the excitement, Berry then held up her Oscar for the crowd to see. "And no," she said. "I don't have to give this back. It has my name on it."
Sandra, take heed.
