SANDRA Bullock warmed up for the Academy Awards at the Razzies to collect the worst-actress prize for her romantic comedy flop "All About Steve."
Bullock swung by the Razzies on the eve of the Oscars, where she is considered the favorite to win best actress for "The Blind Side." If she wins, Bullock will be the first person to win an Oscar and a Razzie on the same weekend.
"I think this is an extraordinary award," said Bullock, who had promised throughout awards season that if she won the Razzie, she would accept it in person. "And I didn't realize that, in Hollywood, all you had to do was say you'd show up, and then you'd get the award. If I'd known that, I would have said I was appearing at the Oscars a long time ago."
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was picked as last year's worst picture and won two other Razzies, worst director for Michael Bay and worst screenplay for Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.
Though reviled by critics, "Transformers" took in US$402?million domestically, No. 2 on the 2009 box-office chart behind "Avatar."
As she took the stage, Bullock pulled a little red wagon filled with DVDs of "All About Steve," saying she was giving a copy to everyone in the audience of about 300.
Bullock implied that many Razzie voters had not actually seen the movie but cast ballots for her hoping to get her to show up at the awards. Bullock said if they watched the DVD and decided it was not the worst performance of the year after all, then she would come back next year and "give back the Razzie. ... then we'll go drink afterwards."
