“They all took a shine to him – the girls”: Sandra Bullock’s Speed Put Keanu Reeves on the Map, But Michelle Pfeiffer Predicted His Stardom Years Before in 7-Time Oscar Nominated Movie

How Sandra Bullock’s admirable plan backfired spectacularly: “I’m not going to allow myself to be mediocre”
No actor wants to become associated with constant mediocrity, so Sandra Bullock was hardly making a revelatory proclamation when she outlined her desire to banish anything average from her filmography for as long as possible.
Unfortunately, she made that sweeping judgement at the worst possible moment in her professional life, which instantly caused her words to age like milk. Of course, Bullock has been in plenty of terrible films, but she’s always taken those hits squarely on the chin before moving on.
The best example came when she reached the pinnacle and the nadir of the industry within 24 hours of each other after Bullock showed up in person to collect her ‘Worst Actress’ gong at the Golden Raspberry Awards for the risible rom-com All About Steve, embracing the ignominy that it brought her.
The very next day, though, Bullock strolled onto the stage at the Academy Awards after she was named ‘Best Actress’ for The Blind Side. It was the duality of Hollywood superstardom in microcosm and proof that even the biggest names can make plenty of missteps without losing any of their shine.
