‘I was hiding a newborn’

Sandra Bullock reveals why she barely remembers her Oscar win Sandra Bullock has revealed that she barely remembers winning her first Oscar in 2010 because she was secretly caring for her newborn son, Louis, at the time and was running on “maybe two hours of sleep.”

The actress, 62, recalled the night during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark on Thursday, September 10. Bullock won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Blind Side at the 2010 ceremony, just weeks after secretly welcoming Louis through adoption. Asked by Mark Consuelos what she remembered most about winning the Oscar, Bullock jokingly replied, “Nothing!”

Kelly Ripa responded, “Nobody does.” “Well, I had maybe two hours of sleep?” Bullock explained, adding, “I was hiding a newborn. No one knew I had Lou, and he had acid reflux, so he slept only every two hours. So I don’t remember much of the night,” she said. Despite the significance of the ceremony, Bullock said her main priority was getting home to her son.

“But I do know that I wanted to get home because I wanted to do the feeding, because I knew who was there with him was probably struggling,” she said. Bullock recalled returning home still wearing her Oscars gown. “I was there in the dress, and I couldn’t get out of the dress, so I just sat in the dress with Lou. The Oscar was on the floor, and Lou was on my lap. And I just wanted to go home,” she said.
