Much like I predicted yesterday, Sandra Bullock is well on her way to becoming this year’s Erin Brockovich-esque success story. Bullock was one of the big winners last night at the People’s Choice Awards, helping The Proposal take home “Favorite Comedy” (jointly with Ryan Reynolds) and picking up “Favorite Actress Drama” for The Blind Side. Sandra was warm and funny throughout the evening, even though several people were making jokes at her expense. Ellen Degeneres cracked one about how she (Ellen) had won eleven People’s Choice Awards, saying “One for every one of Sandra Bullock’s toes.” George Lopez, who is Bullock’s friend and former boss, joked that she was one of “five white women who hasn’t slept with Tiger Woods.” When she won for The Blind Side, Bullock got emotional as she said: “I am only up here because I am fortunate to work with people who make me look good… and most of all to my family…Life is hard sometimes, but we get through with laughter.” She also thanked her family and wished her father well- it sounds like he’s health is failing, so hopefully he’ll be doing better soon!
As far as fashion went, the People’s Choice was rather boring. Most of the women wore boring black or white cocktail dresses, but there were some exceptions. Mariah Carey picked up an award for “Favorite R&B singer” and it took her so long to get on stage because of her epic white dress. Plus, I don’t think Mariah knows how to walk. She get carried everywhere. Nick Cannon even had to go on stage to help fuss with her dress. It was ridiculous! Oh, well. At least she wasn’t sh-tfaced again.
Alyson Hannigan was another favorite of mine, just because she’s so damn cute. Her dress wasn’t even that great, but she looked radiant and thrilled. Her husband is cute too! When she won her People’s Choice award, she leaned over to kiss her husband and he accidentally (?) grabbed her boob.
Jesus, is it just me or does Jessica Alba even grate your nerves when she’s just standing there? I don’t like her dress either. It was too tight, she looked like she was going to pop out of it. And I don’t like the fake hips either.
There were other notable women who won or showed up, but none of them made a huge impact. Taylor Swift took home a big award and she was gracious as usual. I’m sure people will be pissing all over her this morning, but she’s probably gotten used to it by now. Diane Kruger was cute too – she, Eli Roth and B.J. Novak accepted the award for Inglorious Basterds and they also presented the Breakthrough award to Taylor Lautner. Kruger did a fake Twihard scream for Lautner that was pretty funny. Who else? Let’s see… Carrie Underwood was meh. Jenna Elfman was wearing a weird pregnancy dress. That’s about it for the women. Bullock was definitely the star amongst the ladies!
Oh, I almost forgot about Nicole Kidman! She looked like a wax figure, as usual. And what’s with the gloves?

Diane Kruger is so pretty… That is all.
Sandra Bullock can do no wrong in this guy’s eyes; she’s a person who has always struck me as being a warm, genuine, and sincere human being. Sandra could show up wearing a friggin’ garbage bag and I’d still proclaim her to be a knock-out! Kudos to her.
As for many of the other ‘celebrities’ at the People’s Choice Awards (red carpet photos that I perused on-line) well, I must be getting older, because I didn’t know who the hell 90% of these people were! Photo after photo that I’d open, my response to myself was “Eh? WHO?” LOL!
This is what ya get when you’re popping in old 70’s/80’s DVDs, and watching too many ‘Brady Bunch’, ‘Get Smart’, and ‘The Partridge Family’ episodes on cable.
And speaking of feeling older, my big time 80’s crush, Pamela Sue Martin, turned 57 on January 5!
AAAAAAAAAAAH!
I second that.
This “awards” show is a joke. “Bride Wars” was nominated for best comedy? That was the worst, most insipid movie of 2009.
Yeah, you’re right Msat. I sat through Bridewars because Anne H. was in it. It blew big green chunks. I hate to say it, but Nicole K. looks really good in that photo.
I think Nicole looks beautiful. Best she has looked in ages. Nothing wrong with her at all in that pic, IMO.
Love Alyson Hannigan! Think Diane looks beautiful, and I like that Nicole Kidman looks a little edgier here – sometimes she dresses so prim and proper it annoys me. Jessica Alba – ugh – the dress – the hair?!
I don’t see anything wrong with Jessica’s dress other than the hip part. Doesn’t look too tight at all. Sandra’s dress could have been a bit cuter though.
Birdie: Agreed, Diane is lovely
The fabric of Sandra’s dress is stunning, just not sure I like the dress itself. She just seems so damned cool though. Like you’d want to have a beer with her. Regularly.
I think you might just as well roll in a statue of Nicole, for all the difference it would make. What the HELL is on Keith’s chest??? Dear Lord. Mariah is R& B? Really??
I think Sandra’s dress was very nice, she has a nice natural looking body and she’s dressed her age (take notes JLo)
I don’t see what’s the big deal with Alba. Maybe it was that comment she made about people calling her latina and saying Cameron Diaz was more Latina than she is. Anyway, all the movies she’s been in sucked!
When I saw Jessica Alba I showed my husband and told him, “That’s it for her. She’s over now.”
Of course, I’m usually wrong about this stuff but she sure does look it!
I thought Nicole looked pretty, don’t like the gloves but I like to see her take risks.
I love Diane Kruger. She is amazing and beautiful and perfect. THAT is how you wear a tight, white dress.
Mariah annoys me to no end.
alyson hannigan = adorable.
I’m sorry, as much as I like Sandra Bullock why the heck do we need to know she wanted to bleach her crotch for Valentines day and ended up getting a burn? She’s 45 freaking years old, not 16. It was a classless disclosure and so many of these celebrities make the mistake of saying too much. Barbara Walters turned the stomachs with her own tell all. UGH. Minus 1 for Sandy Bullock and oh, last nights Academy Awards…she looked great but her dry sarcastic humor just doesn’t play well across the airwaves…she comes off snooty and bitchy. Didn’t thank the husband she makes so much over and instead called Meryl Streep her lover. I get it, I really do, but give it a break Bullock – you don’t have to be really “so clever” do you? AFterall, isn’t it Jesse James’ ex-wife who’s the trashy one?
