HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 3/15/2010 – As she took home the Oscar for Best Actress at the 2010 Academy Awards, Sandra Bullock asked “Did I really win this or just wear you down?”. At the Razzie ceremony the night before, Bullock pointed out that more people must have seen All About Steve than was generally thought in order for her to “win” the Razzie Award for Worst Actress. Bullock won an Oscar and a Razzie, but what about the other nominees, what do they get?
