This Controversial Drama Starring Sandra Bullock That Made $309M Is Now On Netflix

Sandra Bullock starred in The Blind Side in 2009, and almost 13 years later, it’s available to stream on Netflix (coincidentally following a newfound controversy concerning The Blind Side’s subjects). Bullock’s list of movie credits is quite long and impressive, especially regarding its diversity. She has appeared in multiple popular romantic comedies (While You Were Sleeping, Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice, and The Proposal), Academy-Award-winning dramas (Speed and The Blind Side), and high-grossing blockbusters (The Heat, Gravity, and more). Consequently, Bullock is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid and renowned actresses.

For The Blind Side, Bullock was nominated for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy at the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010 and won. She was up against four other extraordinary talents — Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan, Gabourey Sidibe, and Meryl Streep. Nevertheless, Bullock came out on top and took home her first Oscar. She would later be nominated in the category again in 2014 for Gravity but lost to Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine. So, many would argue that The Blind Side is among Bullock’s best movies, even after the recent controversy regarding the 2009 biographical sports drama’s legitimacy.
