One of 2009’s best Hollywood releases was The Blind Side, a purportedly based-on-a-true-story flick about a poverty-stricken African American student-athlete who was generously taken in by a white family on his way to making his NFL dream come true. It was a feel-good story that garnered many accolades, including an Oscar Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role and a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, both for Sandra Bullock.
