Sandy Bullock is a giver and the next performance she gives up for Hollywood should be a doozy. The actress who is up for an Oscar for her role in “The Blind Side” is stoked to be nominated against golden goddess Meryl Streep, nominated for her towering role in “:Julie and Julia.” How did she get there? Sandra says a little post-it-note by her bed saying “Expect as Good as You Give” helped her realize she needed to stop being so selfish and to cough up some cash to help others. Bullock admits to being loaded with dough and has no problem funding worthy causes and aspiring film makers. She also says if the right project comes along, she is happy to take a pay cut or pick up her check on the back end if and when the project does well. As for her next role, she is taking some time off to think about what to do next. After all, she is an Oscar nominee and can’t be going back to her “Miss Congeniality” days. Bullock wants to follow in Streep’s foot steps and have little flecks of gold fall from her hair wherever she steps in tinsel town. Sandy has enough money to gamble on some projects and says big, dumb movies with big paychecks are in the past. At this point in Sandy’s career, she gets to pick and choose and this Academy Award nominee is taking her own sweet time. – C. Reeves
