A combination of awards, A-listers and Hollywood antics made for an entertaining evening at the 2010 Critics' Choice Awards in Los Angeles. After a tongue-in-cheek threat to fellow nominee Meryl Streep earlier in the week, Sandra Bullock (in an Alberta Ferretti dress and Irit Design earrings) made nice with the acting legend, planting a kiss on Streep when they tied for the Best Actress trophy. "I didn't expect it. It was all a sweet surprise," Bullock told USA Today of the attention she's getting this awards season.
