Sandra Bullock has won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in The Blind Side as Leigh Anne Tuohy, a tough interior designer who takes in a homeless teen, changing the boy’s life and her family in the process. The race was thought to be between Sandra and Meryl Streep. Meryl gave a sublime performance in Julie & Julia, but she has two Oscars already and has been nominated more than any other actress. Sandra claimed she wasn’t going to take home the statue, but she was wrong. It was Sandra’s turn to shine and she definitely did.

Did I really earn this or did I just wear you all down? I would like to thank the academy for allowing me in the last month to have the most incredible ride with rooms full of artists that I see tonight and that I’ve worked with before and that I hope to work with in the future who inspire me and blaze trails for us, four of them that I’ve fallen deeply in love with, I share this night with and I share this award with. Gaby, I love you so much. You are exquisite, you are beyond words to me. Carey, your grace and your elegance and your beauty and your talent makes me sick. Helen I feel like we are family… I don’t have the words to express what I think of you. Meryl, you know what I think of you and you are such a good kisser. I have so many people to thank for my good fortune in this lifetime. And this is a once in a lifetime experience I know.

To the family that allowed me to play them, the Tuohy family, I know they’re in here and you’ll probably hear her in a minute. Maybe not. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to… the family that made this film that gave me the opportunity to do something different John Lee Hancock, Gil Netter, Alcon, Warner Brothers, the actors…

Everyone who’s shown me kindness when it wasn’t fashionable, I thank you. To everyone that was mean to me… George Clooney threw me in a pool years ago, I’m still holding a grudge. But there’s so many people to thank, not enough time. I would like to thank what this film is about to me, which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from. Those moms and parents never get thanked. I in particularly failed to thank one.

So, if I can take this moment to thank Helgibe for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18 because she was right I would have done what she said I was going to do. For making me practice every day when I got home, piano, ballet whatever it is I wanted to be. She said to be an artist you had to practice every day, and for reminding her daughters that there is no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. So to that trailblazer who allowed me to have that and this [holds up Oscar] and this… I thank you so much for this opportunity that I share with these extraordinary women and my lover Meryl Streep. Thank you.

[From Sandra Bullock’s acceptance speech]

Sandra also earned the good sport award at the Razzies this weekend by picking up her two awards, worst actress and worst couple for All About Steve, in person! Sandra even had a charity event to host at the same time but skipped out for a short while to head over to the Razzies. In her acceptance speech she joked that she had vowed ahead of the awards to show up, and that “I said I would show up and then I miraculously won!” Oh Sandra, it really is your year, you just forgot to thank your husband in your Oscar acceptance speech! Will you be making a veiled reference to it next year like Sean Penn did when he presented your Oscar?

Update: As a lot of you pointed out, Sandra thanked her husband when she said she thanked her mom for making her Oscar possible. She said she “who allowed me to have that and this [holds up Oscar] and this” at which point she pointed to Jesse.
