NOBODY would argue that 2010 has been an up-and-down year for Sandra Bullock, given her best actress Oscar for "The Blind Side" followed by her divorce from scandal-plagued husband Jesse James.
But on Tuesday, Bullock landed atop Hollywood's heap again when financial website Forbes.com named her the highest paid actress of the past 12 months having earned US$56 million from two box office hits, romantic comedy "The Proposal" and football film, "The Blind Side."
Bullock not only received a fee for acting, but also participated in the profits, and for both films, the box office numbers were hefty, according to Forbes.com. "The Blind Side" took in nearly US$310 million at global box offices on a budget of around US$30 million, while "Proposal" racked up just under US$320 million and cost roughly US$40 million.
Tied for the No. 2 spot were Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz, both making US$32 million.
Jennifer Aniston came in at fourth place with US$27 million, and "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker was No. 5 at US$25 million.
