Sandra Bullock continued her remarkable year where she has dominated the box office and been declared the number one top grossing star in the movies today. Bullock has become a serious best-actress competitor in the past month, with her SAG win, a win last week at the Golden Globes and a tie with Meryl Streep in the Critics Choice Movie Awards. The stars seem to be aligning for this well liked actress who has entertained audiences for her entire career. Jeff Bridges is the clear front runner in the Oscar race for his role as a fading country singer. These latest awards make it a virtual lock for Christoph Waltz and Mo’Nique in their supporting actor categories.
