Sandra Bullock picked up the Academy Award for Best Actress this weekend for her role in The Blind Side, and she joked that she now wants regular reminders of her A-list status.

She said: “I’m going to have Jesse weld the Oscar to the hood of the car. It will be there to remind me as I do the school and grocery runs. I’m taking my award food shopping. More people will see it.”

She told the Daily Star newspaper: “It’s really hard for it so sink in. Now I can go days without wearing make-up, eating cheese burgers, get back to my life walking the dogs and doing the things everybody else does."

She added, “There’s a sense of relief. Now I can look back and think, ‘Wow, this is a little piece of history.’ I’m glad I got to share this time and exhilaration with extraordinarily beautiful and talented women.”

Meanwhile, Jesse can't stop saying how proud he is of Sandra. He told People magazine: “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."

He continued, “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."
