Bullock's uncomfortable audition experiences
Recalling one of the moments when Bullock was living in New York, she said, "I was in New York, I was a waitress, I was auditioning for every pervert that existed asking me to drop my pants.

The second major career decision came after Bullock had already become closely associated with romantic comedies.

She has done films such as While You Were Sleeping, Miss Congeniality and Two Weeks Notice that helped establish her as one of the genre's most recognisable stars. "The only time I was intentional about my career was when I said, 'I need to stop right now with the rom-coms,' because I was getting so much shit for them. And I took a role in this film called 'Crash'… I wanted to start flexing other muscles."
That decision brought Bullock to Crash, the 2004 drama that went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Bullock eventually returned to lighter projects. In 2009, she starred in The Proposal and The Blind Side. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the latter.
Her filmography has since covered a wide range of genres.
