Sandra Bullock Backstage at the Oscars Part I: Kissing Meryl Streep; Ryan Reynolds Naked

Q. Sandra, congratulations.

A. Thank you.

Q. I just would love to hear the story about Clooney throwing you in a pool.

A. Yeah. See I could have taken that moment and gotten him back. There was also Tom Cruise involved in that as well, and I told them one day, in a very public forum, I would get them back, but George looked so tired tonight. I saw his little eyes and said, I can't do it to him tonight. Yeah. It was you might want to ask George about that. See how much information he'll give because it was funny to everyone else but me. It was actually really funny, but not at the time. Ask George. It's George Clooney. It's what George does well.

Q. Sandra, in the back. Sandra, firstly, thank you for the free All About Steve DVDs.

A. You are more than welcome. I want you to watch it. No interruptions. I want you to watch it.

Q. I've already seen the film; I have to be honest. You have both an Oscar and a Razzie. How much are you enjoying the irony of that situation and what are you going to do with both awards?

A. They're going to sit side by side, as they should. You know they're both we're in the entertainment business. That's what we're supposed to do. You know, it's you take the good with the not so good. But I had the best time at the Razzies last night. It is what it is and, you know, it probably means more that both of them happened at the same time because it's the great equalizer. You know, nothing ever let's me get too full of myself. It quickly chops me off at the knees, and I like it that way because it just it keeps things stable and they'll sit side by side in a nice little shelf somewhere, the Razzie maybe on a different shelf, lower.

Q. Congratulations.

A. It's like one of those kids' games where you pick up the apple do you remember where else you saw the apple?

Q. Hi. Congratulations.

A. Thank you.

Q. This might be a bit of a personal question, but you and your husband your husband whispered something in your ear after you your name was called and [...]

A. You expect me to tell you that? I know, bless your heart for trying. I mean you got to ask.

Q. Well, the follow up is, what's it like for him, to be able to make a tough guy like that cry on national television. He was tearing up right in front of [...]

A. Did he cry? He doesn't cry. He doesn't cry. No.

Q. He [...]

A. He's right there. Don't piss him off. He had something in his eye. It's very dusty from the dance music. I'd never divulge what Jesse says unless he divulges it first. It's between me and the man. This is like an auction. I feel like a baby grand.

Q. Hi. Congratulations.

A. Thank you.

Q. I want to know how you're celebrating tonight? What's the first thing you'll do?

A. 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 just want to eat. I want to eat and not sweat it and not worry the dress will bust open. I just want to relax and just eat. I'm sorry. That's all I can give you. And I'd like a nap. I'd like a nap, too.

Q. Hi. Now that you've won the Oscar will you think twice about doing a more commercial fun film versus a [...]

A. No.

Q. serious critically acclaimed film?

A. I want to do everything. I've always been one of those people that I don't like when people tell me I can't do something. Just because, you know, I did commercial films doesn't mean I couldn't do wonderful small art house films. Just because I won an Oscar, I don't want to ever stop doing something that makes people laugh. I love making people laugh. I don't know what I'm going to do next. I sort of wanted this to sort of all die down, but I'm going make mistakes and I'm going to make everyone roll their eyes and I'm going to maybe do something that works, but I just want to keep working in every genre that I'm allowed to until I'm asked to not do it anymore.

Q. Thank you.

A. Thank you.

    Boo! to you Jesse James. Boo indeed! your tv series just took a dump. If I was a sponsor like the tool company, you would be giving away free soap samples.

    I will not be a fan of Jesse James any longer. I thought he was "cool" when he got his show and then was married to Sandra. What makes celebs destroy themselves and there careers? If I was a sponsor I would bail.
