Sandra Bullock's Oscar Acceptance Speech

Seeking's picture

Suprised no one has commented yet? I'll quote my favorite part below. Maybe I just took it way too much to heart Smile I guess it was what I needed at the time....some good inspiration and just a reminder that despite everything we will make a difference in our SKs lives....

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

Wouldn't that really be the kicker on us if Sandra is a secret Step talker! LOL

I caught the Oscars last night...and I was floored. I kept thinking of this site, and her situation, and thought, "COOL!"
