East Carolina alumnus Sandra Bullock won best actress in a motion picture (drama) for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy in “The Blind Side.”

In an upset, “The Hangover,” starring N.C. State alum Zach Galifianakis, won best motion picture (musical or comedy), beating “(500) Days of Summer,” “It’s Complicated,” “Julie & Julia,” and “Nine.”

Julianne Moore, an Army brat born in Fayetteville, was nominated for best supporting actress in a dramatic motion picture for “A Single Man,” but she did not win.
