Sandra Bullock Warns Meryl Streep: "I'm Gonna Take You Down"

Both Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep received the award for Best Actress at the recent Critics Choice Awards. They even shared a kiss to celebrate the winning.


Determined to rise up to Meryl Streep's level, 45-year-old Sandra Bullock says:

"With Meryl, when this whole thing started, I left her a voice mail going, 'You've got to watch your back. I'm gonna cut you. I'm gonna take you down. And then she sent me dead orchids and told me to die, so I sent her a case of liquor and told her to toast to white trash."

Apparently, Sandra Bullock's revelation to the Associated Press was just one of the elaborate cat-fights that she's been staging with Meryl Streep since the award season started.

The two just vowed Golden Globe Awards for their latest film projects. Sandra Bullock's performance in The Blind Side has been favored by award-giving bodies. Albeit widely regarded as one of the most talented and respected movie actors of the modern era, Meryl Streep has not won an Oscar's award for best actress since the 1980s film Sophie's Choice.

Now that they're both eyeing the best actress award at the Oscar's, lots of bitchiness may follow, all in good fun.

James Cameron's Avatar Wins Big At The Golden Globe Awards


Twelve years after winning the "Best Motion Picture - Drama" and "Best Director in Motion Picture" awards for Titanic, filmmaker James Cameron received the same honors at the 67th Golden Globe Awards for his sci-fi film "Avatar," raising prospects for another domination at this year's Academy Awards.

James Cameron received the awards with a lecture on the message that he wants his new film to be remembered:

"Avatar' asks us to see that everything is connected, all human beings to each other, and us to the Earth. And if you have to go four and a half light years to another, made-up planet to appreciate this miracle of the world that we have right here, well, you know what, that's the wonder of cinema right there, that's the magic."

Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock won the award for the best dramatic female actor while veteran Jeff Bridges received the best dramatic male actor honor. The crowd gave Bridges a standing ovation as a tribute to the beloved actor generally overlooked by major Hollywood honors.

Meryl Streep received the acting honor for best actress in a musical or comedy. With numerous honors that the 60-year-old actress has won over the years, she gladly shared:

"I just want to say that in my long career, I've played so many extraordinary woman that I'm getting mistaken for one. I'm very clear that I'm the vessel for other people's stories and other people's lives."

Robert Downey Jr. from his crime romp "Sherlock Holmes" won the award for best actor in a musical or comedy.

Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz received the supporting-performances award. Mo'Nique was recognized for lowbrow comedy but startled audiences with her impressive performance in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire," playing an abusive welfare mother. Waltz, on the other hand, is a veteran actor in Austria but a relative newcomer in Hollywood. He played the bloodthirsty Nazi in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds."

Despite the glamorous occasion, the annual Golden Globe Awards did not forget to support the earthquake victims in Haiti as many stars came wearing ribbons.

GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2009 - With Kate Moss

The GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2009 that took place at the Royal Opera House had been glitzy and controversial.

Aside from "celebrating the cream of the crop from the world of entertainment, politics, literature, film and music," it was also the event when supermodel Kate Moss turned up late, showed some legs, and stormed out of the ceremony cursing "I'm never coming back to these f*cking awards again."


The British supermodel, known for causing troubles here and there, was supposedly at the awards ceremony to present to pal Lily Allen the GQ's Woman of the Year honor.

People who attended the ceremony might have gotten excited for the guest appearance of someone like Kate Moss so that she became the subject of onstage jest from the evening's host, James Nesbitt. The Irish actor made a joke about her appearing naked on the cover of GQ. He also said, "She's still got it. I hope she has, I gave it to her before she came on... my number."

The jibe was not taken lightly by Kate Moss. She marched out of the awards fuming, "He's so f*cking rude! How very dare he? Do you know what, I'm never coming back to these f*cking awards again."

Kate Moss past straight through Dizzee Rascal's interview and later came back to ask "Has anyone seen my lipstick?"

The rapper later told the camera, "Kate Moss has lost her lipstick - f*cking disaster."

OK. So Kate Moss did steal lights and raised hell at the GQ Men of the Year Awards 2009. Still, the awarding ceremony continued and all 22 men, one woman and one television series were deemed worthy winners:
