Sandra Bullock at the MTV Awards

Sandra Bullock will be making her first public appearance since it became known that her husband had been having an affair at the MTV Movie Awards. She has largely been absent from functions like this since the news first broke, but has been spotted going for several hikes on trails in the woods. MTV announced today that Bullock would be receiving the “MTV Generation Award” for her portrayals of a number of different characters throughout her career.

The awards will be taking place June 6. Bullock has said that she is happy to be given the award. The official context of the award is “her riveting and diverse contributions to the film industry and for entertaining generations of the MTV audience over the last two decades.”

Bullock had been planning to attend the event anyway, according to her representatives. She was not expecting to be given MTV’s highest honor, but is reportedly very happy that she was even considered for the award. Past recipients for the award include Ben Stiller, Adam Sander, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise, and Jim Carrey. The award has been primarily given to comedians, although many of the comedians who have received the award have also taken part in a number of other roles that were less comedic. For instance, Jim Carrey was heavily applauded for his role in “The Truman Show,” and Ben Stiller has taken part in a number of films that are considered dramas.
