Phew! No Oscar Mix-up For Sandra Bullock

The bright side for Sandra Bullock after this Razzie award fiasco -- at least the star definitely took home the right Oscar from the Academy Awards.

Just to be sure, PopEater confirmed with the Oscar governing body -- the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

"There was definitely no Oscar mix-up," Academy spokesperson Teni Melidonian confirms. "Sandra Bullock took home the right Oscar that night."

"We hand the Oscar to her right on the stage and that's the one she goes home with."

Sadly, that's what happened with the Razzies, but somehow it still went terribly wrong. When Bullock famously accepted the 'Worst Actress' award for 'All About Steve' she was handed a Razzie onstage. But it turned out that was the prototype award and the organizers needed it back. Bullock was seemingly the last to find out about this mix-up after the British tabloids pounced on the story.

She won't have the same problem with the Oscar she received for 'The Blind Side.' For the first time ever, this year's winners had their names personally engraved on a nameplate which was attached directly after winning.

"[Bullock] had the nameplate attached at the Governor's Ball," says Melidonian.

But then again it was a crazy party and the champagne was flowing. So maybe Sandra should double-check just to make sure she didn't switch with Kathryn Bigelow at some point.

LoL The should just let her keep the one she got and make a new one. She was probably the biggest star to ever go and accept one plus the only one to get both in History. Too bad they couldn't of just told her about THEIR mistake as to trying to get publicity off of her when she doesn't need anymore then what she has. Some people are just rude like this.
