Judges want "Worst Actress" trophy back???

What's this, folks? It is not enough that some award giving body has the guts to humiliate a person by awarding her as the "worst actress" , now they have the heart to ask her to return the trophy not because they changed their minds about her deserving the award but because they made a mistake of giving a collector's item. For me that is doubly rude... Reportedly co-founder of the Razzie Awards has taken to the media to ask America's Sweetheart" Sandra Bullock, one of the top grossing actresses of the nineties, to return the award she won last month for Worst Actress. Said they got so caught up in the spur of the moment that instead of giving Bullock the intentionally cheap (it's worth a whopping $4.79), spray-painted replica of the award that all winners receive, the Razzies organizers say they inadvertently handed Bullock the original 30-year-old trophy. Given its age and rarity, the original has much more value as a collector's item. Bullock famously showed up to accept her Worst Actress award for her role in the box-office bomb, "All About Steve," bringing with her hundreds of "Steve" DVDs and promising to return the award if the Razzie judges changed their minds after watching the movie. The next day, Bullock won the Best Actress Oscar for "The Blind Side," making her the only person ever to win both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. The Razzie judges haven't changed their mind about Bullock's performance in "All About Steve" - they just want the actual trophy back. Now that's rare hapenning! But... don't you think they deserve the "worst award-giving body" award instead? Well,you better think about it, but do forgive me 'coz I like Sandra, and my mind says "I do think so.
