Sandra Bullock Bets Against Herself in Oscar Race

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 7th 2010 10:22AM

Keep this in mind when making your office Oscar pool picks - even Sandra Bullock doesn't see herself winning. "I'm so not winning an Oscar," said Bullock, who received her first Academy Award nomination for the leading role in 'The Blind Side.' According to the actress, we can take that prediction to the bank.

"Nine times out of ten I always pick who's going to win," Bullock told reporters at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (via PEOPLE). "And I already know who's going to win. I'm not going to say, but nine times out of ten, I'm right."

"I have to say, all the ladies in our category, we don't care who wins," she added. "Someone's going to win and the rest of us will be really happy for whoever won. We're just happy to be here. And we like the company we're in."

"I'm so bad at taking in compliments or flattery. I'm better taking in the bad than I am the good. So I'm trying very hard just to be present and enjoy the moments," she said, but joked that receiving the nomination is not the relaxing victory she thought it might be. "I said, 'OK, where are the bonbons and champagne?' No one brought me any. They just told me I had to work. So I'm like, 'OK.' "

The life of an Oscar nominee is filled with the same everyday tasks, Bullock said, but she's not complaining. "You go home and you have to pick up dog poop – and we have a two-legged dog," she explained. "To me, that's not mundane, though. Life is tricky enough that I actually love and embrace the normal day-to-day rituals. You get up, you make your coffee, read your paper, you do the school run, you go do your things. I'm just lucky that I get to do them."

You are so wrong Sandra. You swept the major awards and also you won the SAG. We will see, Sandra.

she was totally wrong, she won it and I believe she deserved it, but saying"I'm not going to win it, I know who is and 9/10 times I'm right" just sounds so silly.....
