Sandra Bullock Wants To Weld Oscar To Her Car
The actress was named best actress at the Academy Awards on Sunday, for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side. She is still amazed she won, and is keen to ensure as many people as possible see the prestigious gold statue.
“I’m going to have my husband Jesse weld it to the hood of the car. It will be there to remind me as I do the school and grocery runs.” she laughed. “I’ll take my award food shopping. More people will see it.”
The 45-year-old added she is looking forward to her life getting back to normal. She has been a regular on the red carpet in recent weeks, and wants to spend time at home with her husband Jesse James. Mostly, Sandra can’t wait to not have to wear make-up all the time, and to start gorging on fatty foods.
“There’s a sense of relief. Now I can look back and think, ‘Wow, this is a little piece of history,’ ” she told British newspaper The Daily Star. “It’ll sink in weeks from now and it’ll dawn on me. Then I’ll just drop to my knees and start crying in the middle of the street.”
Jesse attended the awards ceremony with his wife, and is fiercely proud of her. He appeared teary-eyed when she gave her acceptance speech, and has said he was thrilled to be able to support her.
“It's awesome. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to support my wife and her work. She does it all the time for me. She goes to Mexico, to the desert, to the hospital – a lot – to support me and my work. The least I can do is put on a suit and support her,” Jesse, who is a motorcycle mechanic and completes dangerous stunts for a TV show, told People magazine.
“She's beautiful. She's amazing. She takes my breath away. Sometimes I look at her and I do, I just lose my breath. I'm so proud of her. Nobody deserves this more and works harder. She's old-school Hollywood – just gracious and a star who's so much better than you expect them to be.”
