Sandra Bullock has certainly had a memorable year, receiving rave reviews and a potential Oscar for her role in the based-on-a-true-story drama “The Blind Side.” Even more memorable, perhaps, is the fact that Bullock may be receiving a “Worst Actress” award the evening before.

The 30th Annual Razzy Awards, which will take place March 6 at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre in Los Angeles, assign nominations for worst “achievements” in film, with categories like “Worst Picture,” “Worst Actor” and “Worst Director.”

This year, the members of The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation will vote for nominations for both the year and the decade.

Bullock is up against Beyonce (“Obsessed”), Miley Cyrus (“Hannah Montana: The Movie”), Megan Fox (“Jennifer’s Body” and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”) and Sarah Jessica Parker (“Did You Hear About the Morgans?”). In addition, “All About Steve” was nominated in the “Worst Picture” category.

On the other end of the spectrum, Bullock is up against Helen Mirren (“The Last Station”), Carey Mulligan (“An Education”), Gabourey Sidibe (“Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire”) and Meryl Streep (“Julie and Julia”)in the Oscar’s “Best Actress” category. Ironically, “The Blind Side” was nominated for “Best Picture.”

Having seen both “The Blind Side” and “All About Steve,” I can attest to the fact that Bullock gave a much stronger performance in “The Blind Side.” She brings many layers to her character, Leigh Ann Tuohy, a tough and confident Southern suburban mom who opens her home and heart to the future football star Michael Oher.

Underneath her oversized, diamond-studded sunglasses, Bullock reveals Leigh Ann’s iron determination and pure compassion for humanity. Bullock undoubtably deserves recognition for her stellar performance in this role, and an Oscar would be an ideal way to cap off her successful year.

“All About Steve” was definitely one of the strangest movies I have seen, but we cannot fault Bullock entirely for the film’s disappointment among audiences and critics. Her portrayal of the socially awkward, crossword puzzle-obsessed Mary Horowitz is not particularly impressive, but the creative scope of the role is somewhat limited.

In the face of this humbling criticism, Bullock takes a lighthearted stance and attributes the irony of her situation to the balanced nature of the movie business. Then again, it must be somewhat of a consolation that a coveted Oscar may be coming her way.
