Sandra Bullock, best known for her roles in syrupy and quirky romantic comedies, nabbed an Oscar at last night’s Academy Awards for her leading role in The Blind Side. Unlike some of the previous winners who have played the worst among us, she portrays a Christian woman, Leigh Anne Tuohy, whose life is transformed by taking in a troubled teenager, Michael Oher. Usually, an actress is applauded for “pushing the envelope” or “choosing artistry over modesty” so it’s refreshing when an actress is lauded for her portrayal of an unapologetic, strong-willed, compassionate Christian woman.
