Sandra Bullock has joked she needs to make preparations, including getting some liposuction, for the upcoming Oscars.

The actress bagged a Best Actress nomination for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy, a blonde Memphis mother who takes in a homeless, high-school student, in the movie The Blind Side.

“I do believe some liposuction is in order, a very strict diet regime, and I will acquire a very light English accent,” Us magazine quoted her as saying on the Today show.

“I was going to say that I should start wearing glasses, but I already wear glasses, so I am already sort of there,” the 45-year-old Miss Congeniality star added.

In a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, Bullock said: “I”d always assumed that the road to Oscar was planned. I thought people chose projects that were considered ”Oscar-worthy.” No one wanted to make this film. I didn”t want to make this film for the better part of the year. Everyone is as blindsided – can I say that? – as I am.”
