Photogs were snapping their cameras and reporters were clicking their recorders like mad to get a shot or quote from last night's big Academy Award winner, Sandra Bullock.
"I didn't aspire to this," the actress, 45, told reporters after winning the Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side on Sunday. "I was in awe of it. I admired it. I got to watch it like everyone else did, or present, but it wasn't something that I said, 'One day when I get the Oscar.' "
She added, "Don't aspire to be in these shoes. Walk in your own. Everyone's unique, and that's what makes people exciting to watch, I think. So, just savor what you are and not what everyone else wants you to be."
What was most shocking about her win? Bullock's husband Jesse James was all teary-eyed during her acceptance speech. Even the actress couldn't believe that. "Did he cry? He doesn't cry," she said. "He had something in his eye. It's very dusty from the dance music."
When asked about what he whispered in her ear when her name was announced she said, "I'd never divulge what Jesse says unless he divulges it first. It's between me and the man."
What a classy lady!
