Sandra Bullock is officially the freakin’ shiznit. She won a gold statue for her performance in The Blind Side. Yep and she can say that she beat out Meryl Streep for the Oscar for Actress in a leading role category. Fabulous.

Check after the jump for Sandra Bullock’s Oscar for Actress in a Leading role speech.

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 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.

Gabby, 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 through family and I don’t have the words to express just
what I think of you. And 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 Bros., the actors, everyone who’s shown me kindness when it
wasn’t fashionable, I thank you. To everyone who was mean to me when it wasn’t…
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, so I would like to thank what this film is about for 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 particular, failed to thank
one. So… if I can take this moment to thank Helga B. for not letting me ride in
cars with boys until I was 18 because she was right. I would’ve done what she said I
was gonna 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’s 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. And this. I thank you so much for this opportunity that I share with
these extraordinary women and my lover Meryl Streep. Thank you.

So yeah, Meryl Streep…better luck next year!
