Sandra Bullock: I'm a 'Better Person' One Year After Oscar Win, Motherhood

By Kelly Fisher Posted Feb 28th 2011 06:19AM

At last year's Academy Awards, Sandra Bullock walked the red carpet as a Best Actress nominee and dished about her love for then-husband Jesse James. Little did she know her personal life was about to change drastically -- but for the better, according to Us Magazine.

Bullock separated from James just four days after the 2010 Oscars when news broke of his extra-marital affairs. The actress then left the limelight to raise her newly adopted son, Louis and focus on her family.

"It's made me a better person," she said about her new role as a mom while speaking with NBC's Maria Menounos during the Oscar pre-show. "I'm more patient and accommodating. I really appreciate where I am."

Bullock was on hand at this year's Academy Awards to present the Oscar for Best Actor, which went to Colin Firth for his role in 'The King's Speech.'

After an extended hiatus, Bullock is back in the acting game herself.

"I just did my first day of work in over a year and a half on Friday," she told Menounos. The actress is currently filming 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' with fellow Academy Award winner Tom Hanks.

When asked what she remembers from last year's ceremony, where she won her first Oscar for her emotional role in 'The Blind Side,' Bullock told E! News' Ryan Seacrest that her memories from the night are a bit hazy.

"I only had two hours of sleep," Bullock said. "I remember none of it."

I personally get tired of hearing how parenthood changed people for the better.
If you are so selfish beforehand, perhaps you should have thought better about bringing a child in to your home. Sure you can afford him, but.....
And if parenthood changes so many people for the better, why so many children abused by parents?
Look, I know parenthood is great. But let's not pretend that only parents know "real love."

sandra enough already. I think you have some mental issues. You could not find one decent guy but you pick jesse who was married before to a porn star,has kids,tattoos,biker, all the ingredients of a bad boy and you went for him? Your a fool...

By Sara

I agree with you on this one. Sandra has picked some major losers in her life. And now she has adopted a child because he too apparently is considered an "underdog". Made a huge mistake there Sandra - just like the day you married James.

Here we go again poor poor Sandra
Adopts a baby ( Just like the lipped wonder Jolie).
Everybody feel sorry for her when her dope head husband cheats on her.
Feel even more sorry for her when they get separated.
Pitty the poor ritch bratt.
But now she's a mother and a better person.

Sandra Bullsh**

Bullock's hair looked very unattractive. There is nothing appealing about that type of hairdo on anyone.

A bad marriage is something you can get rid of in a matter of months. A poor choice in the adoption of a child is with you for the rest of your life. Jesse James knew this - too bad Sandra did not.

By Sam

Poor choice in adoption? What are you talking about? Baby needed a home. Sandra providing love and devotion...are you off your rocker?

By Jan

How and why can you call this adoption a poor choice? Are you a bigot?

Not a bigot, not a racist. Just a realist.
