THE BLINDSIDE<\/em> SNUBS<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll post my Oscar Thoughts and Oscar Suites columns in the next couple of days, but for now, I have to get one thing off my chest. It\u2019s about Sandra Bullock<\/strong>, and I have more to say on this particular situation than the one quick sentence I would put in my bigger Oscar Musings column.<\/p>\n

I had met her before she was famous, when we were two of the last five girls up for a series (that neither of us got–though it was actually based on MY show!), and she was as nice then as everyone thinks she is now. So, I have absolutely no problem with her in general.<\/p>\n

But I have a big bone to pick with her on all her The Blindside <\/em>wins. She\u2019s never once mentioned the real-life hero of the story, NFL-er Michael Oher<\/strong>, and possibly even more deservedly, the actor who played him in the film, Quinton Aaron<\/strong>. I\u2019ve muddled through all of her acceptance speeches, and nope, nary a word.<\/p>\n

At the Golden Globes, she didn\u2019t even mention the real-life family who adopted the guy! At least, last night, she mentioned the mother she played. But to not mention these people is 100% unacceptable, in my opinion. After the Globes, I figured she\u2019d correct the oversight when she won the SAG Award. When she didn\u2019t, I realized that it wasn\u2019t an oversight at all. For some odd reason, she\u2019s leaving them out. And I don\u2019t get it at all.<\/p>\n

She seems to be very popular in the show biz community, and my little mother loves her. But I must say that I\u2019m disgusted with the whole season. Hopefully, she\u2019ll read this, or come to her senses on her own, and take out an ad in a trade paper, or something to that effect.<\/p>\n

I saw Quinton at the Secret Room Oscar Suite this week-end, and he seemed very happy. This snub probably doesn\u2019t bother him as much as it does me. And Michael Oher\u2019s been though so much in his life that this most likely wouldn\u2019t phase him.<\/p>\n

But I believe in fairness so much, though it usually doesn\u2019t exist, that I just had to say something. So, there you have it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
