Expect the playful competition between Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep to heat up now that the two both nabbed Best Actress Oscar nods.
They've been facing off at nearly every awards show and even smooched when they tied for best actress at the Critics' Choice Awards last month.

"With Meryl, when this whole thing started, I left her a voice mail going, 'You've got to watch your back. I'm gonna cut you. I'm gonna take you down,'" Bullock tells the Associated Press. "And then she sent me dead orchids and told me to die, so I sent her a case of liquor and told her to toast to white trash."

Kidding aside, Bullock, 45, said she has no ill will against the other nominees. (She is up against Julie & Julia's Streep; An Education's Carey Mulligan; The Last Station's Helen Mirren and Precious' Gabourey Sidibe.)
"You have to enjoy being with these women that you admire or love or like or have had friendships with or are just getting to know because you've got to take care of each other," Bullock told the AP.

"No one, at least the people that I've met, no one cares about the end result or the statue," she added. "It's being able to sit in close proximity with these ladies ... and we have to go through this whole rigamarole and we just all look at each other and we get to know each other and you laugh at the absurdity of it all and how they pit women up against each other."
At what ages did Sandra Bullock and your favorite stars get engaged?
How did she feel about also being nominated as worst actress of the year for All About Steve from the Golden Raspberry Foundation, host of the annual Razzies.
She is honored.
"If I win, I am so showing up," she told USA Today. "I have to enjoy that as much as getting an Oscar nomination. It is the great balance in our business."

9Breathtaking beauty, gorgeous from Woody Allen's Manhattan to the bridges flick with Clint Eastwood. More talented than any A list actress in the United States and I hear she danced in New York City when she was just starting out ( and I am not talking about the Broadway version of West Side Story ).

This post made me laugh!!! I love Sandra, such a funny and down-to-earth woman. They should both win the awards..it's a tie!
Sandra is truly a class act. I love her sense of humor. She is a wonderful actress.
Just when I start thinking really good things, you two start sparring with each other as though you were fighting over the same guy in high school. If you can't behave yourselves you'll have to go to your rooms until you can play nicely. Both Meryl and Sandra had GREAT years and both of deserving of many good things. Congratulations to two of our favorites.
Sandra seems phony. She pretends to be joking but showed real self in some interviews. Jealousy is petty. Meryl Streep is true class and deserves the award, but Sandra will get it due to politics and money promoting that movie
Sandra is solid gold
