Standing in front of an international audience clutching her Best Actress Oscar, Sandra Bullock was perhaps the only person at the Kodak Theatre willing to admit some level of surprise about her giddy ascension to the ranks of Meryl Streep and Dame Helen Mirren - two of the acting titans she sweetly steamrolled over for the acting honor...
...While the movie was not overly appreciated by critics, Bullock's road to Oscar might have been cemented when she tied - literally tied - for the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress with Meryl Streep. Onstage that night, Bullock showed the zany streak that endeared her to Oscar voters by mock-charging Streep when accepting her half of the award and then planting an openmouthed kiss onto a surprised but game Streep.

...genealogy fascinates everyone who is not in my family. PBS's new show Faces of America, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., traces the lineage of Dr. Oz and Meryl Streep, while NBC's upcoming Who Do You Think You Are?, executive-produced by Friends actress Lisa Kudrow, seeks out the dead relatives of Sarah Jessica Parker and Spike Lee. In an episode of the NBC show, Kudrow goes to Belarus to find the grave of her great-grandmother who was killed in the Holocaust and meets a family member who survived. It's fascinating, but probably only because...
