Sandra Bullock deserves her Oscar. She's that good in The Blind Side. Her performance is over-the-top when it needs to be, but there's subtle craft at work here. Physically, she's closer to Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich; however the more appropriate comparison would be Helen Mirren in The Queen. Not the look, obviously, but the control that Mirren displayed in that Oscar-winning role. You never quite forget your watching Sandra Bullock. Generally you don't when actors of her fame are on the screen. But she's in rare form, better than she's ever been, essentially carrying the weight of a damn good film on her shoulders.
