Sandra Bullock played the biggest week end of her career brilliantly, initial by branch up at the Razzies on Saturday night to accept the endowment for Worst Actress (for her purpose as a crossword-compiler-turned-stalker in All About Steve), afterwards by delivering a delightfully batty acceptance debate at the Oscars where she won Best Actress for The Blind Side, in that she plays a mom who turns a disadvantaged teen in to a football star.

"Did I unequivocally consequence this, or did I only wear you all down?" she asked her peers at the Academy Awards, prior to dogmatic her love for the alternative nominees in her category: Gabourey Sidibe ("exquisite… over words"), Carey Mulligan ("your grace, elegance, beauty and bent have me sick"), Helen Mirren ("I feel similar to we are family") and Meryl Streep ("such a great kisser").

She afterwards thanked everyone who had shown her affability "when it wasnt fashionable" and to "everyone who was meant to me", together with George Clooney, who, she alleged, once threw her in to a pool.

It was all really desirable and good-humoured, and someway when the tears proposed to upsurge as she thanked her mom "for not vouchsafing me float in cars with boys until I was 18", it was endearing rather than irritatingly self-indulgent.

Certainly, it was not in the same joining as Gwyneth Paltrows barbarous impulse of romantic incontinence at the 1999 Oscars. From the second that Jack Nicholson voiced her best-actress feat for Shakespeare in Love, she was blubbing.

The duct persisted as she ran by her list of benefactors, together with her representative ("a pleasing man and a smashing agent, and, in his case, that is not an oxymoron"), prior to utterly losing it when she thanked her mom for all the love that had been bestowed on her.

It was a noted opening for all the wrong reasons, something that Paltrow gamely concurred the following year when, announcing Kevin Spaceys best-actor endowment for American Beauty, she admitted: "You probably recollect how wimpy I was."

Other interesting outbursts on Oscar night embody the one by an over-excited Roberto Benigni, who won Best Actor in 1999 for Life is Beautiful, and who sensitive the audience, "My physique is in tumult", adding : "I would similar to to have love to everybody."

Then there was Sally Field (1985 Best Actress for Places in the Heart) who insisted: "You similar to me, right now, you similar to me!"; Cuba Gooding Jr (1997 Best Supporting Actor for Jerry Maguire) who delared: "Everybody I love you. I love you all!"; and executive James Cameron who boasted in 1998: "Im aristocrat of the world" when he won for Titanic.

But maybe the majority ill-judged debate came from documentary-maker Michael Moore, (2003 Best Documentary for Bowling For Columbine), whose conflict on the President "Shame on you, Mr Bush, contrition on you" was roundly booed.
