Sandra Bullock stays classic in a black fringe corseted Alberta Ferretti cocktail dress at the 2010 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards held at the Hollywood Palladium on Friday (January 15) in Hollywood, Calif.
The 45-year-old actress is nominated for Best Actress for her work in The Blind Side. She’s up against Emily Blunt (The Young Victoria).
Critics Choice Awards 2010 are given by Broadcast Film Critics Association in the recognition of best of cinematic accomplishments. Critics Choice Awards 2010 are going to be held at Hollywood Palladium.
The women of Hollywood were shown a lot of love at this year's Critic's Choice Awards, particularly Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock.
The stars gave audiences an eyeful Friday night when Bradley Cooper announced that they had tied to win Best Actress: Streep for "Julie & Julia" and Bullock for "The Blind Side."
Streep and Bullock took to the stage and proceeded to give each other a spontaneous open mouthed kiss, much to Cooper's enjoyment.
The smooch was no doubt an homage to the Adam Lambert's controversial same sex kiss at this year's MVMAs. And if anyone wants to complain, they'll no doubt get the kiss off.
Both Streep and Bullock have been making waves in Hollywood for disproving the belief that female-driven films cannot bring in the big bucks. Streep became a top earner with the summer hit "Mamma Mia!", while "The Blind Side" is the first movie in history to pass $200 million with only one female A-list star to support it.
Later on in the ceremony, Kathryn Bigelow officially ousted the boys of Tinseltown by becoming the first woman ever to take home the Best Director award.
An unofficial member of the boys club, having directed the likes of "Point Break" and "K-19: The Widowmaker," the 58-year-old Californian took home the gold for "The Hurt Locker." Her gritty take on an elite bomb squad unit in Iraq beat out "Avatar," "Inglourious Basterds" and "Precious."
Other ladies who ruled the ceremony included talk show host Mo'Nique, who won best supporting actress for her terrifying turn as an abusive mother in "Precious." Best Young Actress went to Irish starlet Saoirse Ronan, whose poignant turn as a raped and murdered school girl lit up the otherwise flawed, "The Lovely Bones."
One of the highlights of the evening was a tribute to John Hughes, the 80s film director who died in August.
John Krasinski and Amy Poehler appeared dressed as Andie and Duckie from "Pretty in Pink" to remember the late director whose teen fims - including “Ferris Bueller's Day Off?a>?? and “The Breakfast Club” – changed the depiction of teenagers on the big screen forever.
There was a Best Actress tie -- Sandra Bullock kissed Meryl Streep to celebrate their joint win. Who else took home a Critics Choice Award?
