I certainly didn't, said Bullock, an enduring box-office draw who had never before been nominated for an Oscar. I'm really very amazed and thankful to be here, because I'd like to work hard for another 10, 15 years. So if this is what that means, bring it.Bullock, Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe, a best-actress nominee for the Harlem drama Precious: Based on the Novel Push' By Sapphire, said they have barely started to consider what to wear to the Oscars, one of the world's top fashion bashes.
