Sandra Bullock Never Thought She'd Win an Oscar for 'The Blind Side' & Here's Her Reasoning

Sandra Bullock won an Oscar in 2010 for her work in the movie The Blind Side, but she never thought she was going to win.

Weeks ahead of the film’s release back in November 2009, Sandra was generating awards buzz for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy.

At the time, she was asked to comment on the speculation and she was not hopeful about getting an Oscar nomination.

“People who do what I do don’t do award-winning films,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “Which is kind of a relief because you don’t have to go to that next step when it comes to that awards-season thing. I look at those people, especially the women, and I go, ‘I don’t know how you do it.’ It’s about what dress you pick, what designer you’re wearing. I’d rather roll home, put on the jeans, go outside, pick up dog poop, or go for a run or something.”

Sandra was clearly very wrong as she not only was nominated, but she won the Best Actress award.

The real Leigh Anne commented on her performance, “She did a good job. And if she’d done a bad job, I’d have told you in a second — I’m all about being honest.” She laughs a brassy laugh. “And she has nice ta-tas. I was elated about that.”

Amid the claims from the real Michael Oher and his belief that the movie is a lie, there have been calls to revoke Sandra‘s Oscar. Quinton Aaron, who played the football player, is reacting to those baseless calls.
