Unable to separate fact from fiction, ignorants call for Sandra Bullock to be stripped of her Oscar for ‘The Blind Side’

Calls to strip Sandra Bullock of her 2010 Oscar for The Blind Side have arisen after Michael Oher, the subject of the film, alleged that the story was largely fabricated.

Oher claims the Tuohy family never adopted him and profited off his story without compensating him.

While debates over the film's white savior narrative and racism in the Academy are valid, demanding Bullock's Oscar be revoked due to others' actions is a bit unfair.

The accusations also raise concerns about the potential precedent for other films losing Oscars.

Bullock has not commented on the matter, and the Tuohy family's attorney denies the allegations.
