"She said to be an artist, you had to practice every day, and for reminding her daughters that there’s no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. So, to that trailblazer, who allowed me to have that. And this. And this."
-- Sandra Bullock thanking her mother at as she accepts her Best Actress Academy Award.
Bullock’s winning performance helped make “The Blind Side” the first film with a sole female lead ever to surpass $200 million in US and Canada ticket sales.
