    Sandra Bullock erased the memory of her name being called out as a winner at the Golden Globe Awards.

    Bullock, whose career is soaring with The Blind Side, took out the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) award for the movie.

    Bullock’s part is of a conservative wife who takes in a promising football player who is down on his luck.

    She said afterward: “I want to go find the family and just recount. I have no idea what happened, no idea. I feel like I blacked out.”

    The Twilight Saga: New Moon followed on from its record-breaking first weekend to bring in a record-making $42.5 million over the three-day Thanksgiving weekend.

    The takings drove its cumulative box office to $230.7 million, which is the sixth highest of the year, just behind Star Trek, which took in $257.7 million.

    Sandra Bullock’s The Blind Side – which took $40.1 million over three days – did well in second spot, holding its own for overall single-day ticket sales on Thanksgiving before Twilight took first place on Friday.

    Many fans flocked to see Twilight more than once. Sarah Weiner, a young professional from of Marina Del Rey past her teens, has already seen it three times. She said:”The first time the girls in the theatre were so loud, screaming for their character as Edward or Jacob came on the screen. So the second time I heard more dialogue and really got into the story. Then, the third time I went with my girlfriends so we could discuss the entire movie over dinner afterward.”

    She was speaking as she waited in line for a fourth showing.

  • Sandra Bullock attends special New Orleans premiere of The Blind Side

    Sandra Bullock appeared at a special charity premiere in New Orleans for her latest movie The Blind Side.

    The football-themed film premiered at an event that also raised money for a high school that was flooded during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

    Bullock said: “We’re investing in a lot of things that we think need preserving. It’s about people giving because they know it’s the right thing to do.”

    Donations from the event were used for such items as band uniforms, scholarships and a health centre.

    The Blind Side, based on a book by Michael Lewis, tells the story of Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher.
