Sandra Bullock's Post-Oscar Plans: "Take a Nap!"

Sandra Bullock proved she can do both comedy and drama -- all during her Oscar acceptance speech for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
Accepting the award on Sunday -- her first Oscar and her first nomination -- Bullock flirted with Meryl Streep, took a dig at George Clooney and paid touching tribute to her mom.
See what all the stars wore on the red carpet at the 2010 Oscars!
"Did I really earn this, or did I just wear you all down?" said Bullock as she reached the podium.
The actress, 45, who won for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side, said that she "fell in love" with her four fellow nominees -- especially Streep, whom she famously kissed at the People's Choice Awards.

"You are such a good kisser," Bullock said, later jokingly calling Streep "my lover."
She also thanked those in Hollywood who were "mean to me" in her past -- including George Clooney, who, she says, "threw me in a pool."

The actress got quiet and teary, however, when thanking "Helga B," her mom. The star credits her mother "for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18" and for teaching her about tolerance: "there no race, no religion, no color, no sexual orientation...we are all deserving of love."

Her most emotional fan at the Kodak Theater? Husband Jesse James, who watched teary-eyed in the audience.
Backstage in the press room after accepting her award, the beaming actress joked that James, 40 (who stood to the side while she spoke to reporters), teared up because something was in his eye. "The dancers kicked up a lot of dust," she joked. (She also declined to elaborate on why Clooney threw her into a pool because "he looked so tired tonight.")
She told UsMagazine.com her post-show celebration plans.
"Food. I just want a burger and I just want some food. I want to sit down, take the shoes off. You know, we got some friends that are all meeting. I want to eat and not sweat it and not worry the dress will bust open," she told Us. "I just want to relax and just eat... And I'd like a nap, too."
Tell Us What You Think
24Love you Sandra!!!
Oscars are fixed, can't you guys tell? Meryl Streep hasn't won an Oscar yet,but they really don't need to give one, since we all know she's a great performer and she does not need a reward to convince us to go see her movies!!! But, Bullock needs one bad,after all have you seen her act? And I'm not saying how sweet or funny or good looking is. In fact, contrary to other people's beliefs, I don't think she has any of these qualities, but let's say she does, once you remove them, you know what you get? Me, with no acting abilities whatsoever! Yet, she got an Oscar, but she deserved my ass, not the Oscar. Men, people are stupid to believe that they really thought that through who to give the Oscar to!!
My goodness, trsquare, which actor is sooo worthy of an Oscar and yet they act so terrible at the same time? I guess the great Oscar worthy, Bullock is!!
I decided to not watch the Oscars this year only because I see how the awards have become: who's gotten one and who's turn is it this year to get one" kind of competition.And, my hunch did not dissapoint me, but I wish it had. How can Meryl Streep's great performance lose to luke warm one of Sandra Bullock?!!! In Hollywood, just like their plastic faces, everything else is fake too! This was not a real competition, it is a fake make to advertise their movies and fullfill their obligations/debts/getting laid prices to each others, while we sit on our couches and are made to believe otherwise...
I am appalled that Meryl Streep with her perfect pitch vocal delivery and all around awesome perfomance did not win. I am even more appalled that Bullock did. How pathetic is this! If people want to give Oscars away to the person they most likely find themselves in and want to see succeed aka "such a sweetheart", then maybe they should add such a category and then give it to Bullock. But, I thought Oscars belong to best in acting and directing, not sentimentalisms.And yes, Anna, Meryl should win each time, IF she deserves it!
CONGRATS SANDRA YOU DESERVED IT.
She has my utmost respect because she not only got up to receive her Oscar, but the night before, she went up to receive her Razzies. It's too easy to accept praise, but it's difficult to acknowledge criticism, and she did both admirably, and with a great deal of humor.
Sandra Bullock is an alright actress, and The Blind Side was by far her best role, but in no way did she deliver an oscar-worthy performance. She only won because she was the popular choice among viewers, and that does not merit an Academy Award. The Oscars used to be about talent, now they only care about ratings.
By the way, Anna, Meryl hasn't won an Oscar in 26 years...so I wouldn't say that she even comes close to winning every time. It should be about the acting alone...Just because Sandra Bullock FINALLY gave a great performance doesn't mean that she has to win the Oscar. I think Meryl deserved it. Her portrayal of Julia Child was amazing and historic.
CNOGRATS!!!! I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD WIN... YOU LOVE SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL IN THAT VELVET DRESS.. GREAT TASTE... STAY TRUE SANDRA... WE LOVE YOU GIRL...
I cannot believe she is 45! We should all look this way when we're 45.
Lots of hate on the boards today.Sandra gave a great performance. I love Meryl, but she can't win every time. Gabby is having a wonderful season and will have another shot. Just because our favorite doesn't win,there is no reason to dispargae others, it reflects on you.
Hey Snarky, Maybe learn to spell BUFFOON before you call someone a BAFFOON.
I'm so proud of her. She really deserves this. Congrats!
Meryl should have won for portraying Julia Childs; she was awesome in that role/movie. I have seen the Blind Side and Sandra was ok. I didn't like her attempt at a southern accent and she was over the top.
Sandra won the oscar because she deserved it. Congratulations Sandra!
To you morons that are saying Sandra didnt deserve to win, did you even see the Blind Side? She gave an Oscar winning performance.
Sandra Bullock's Post-Oscar Plans: To take a nap sound great, enjoy it, you deserve it!
I am amazed by some of the mean spirited comments written here. She is a talented actress who can meet the challenges of comedy or drama. Has she had some bad movies? Of course. But in The Blind Side she gave an Oscar worthy performance and deserved the win.
She is the best!!! She won because she knows how to act, she can play all sorts of rolls. As for Gabby, wonder why she hasn't recieved anymore acting gigs? hummm? She's got a longggg way to go before she ever catches up with the likes of Sandra Bullock!
