Slide #17

Sandra Bullock speaks German
She told the audience "The Academy is trying something new this year ... Because there are over 1.2 billion people in China, they have asked me to briefly speak about this category in Mandarin Chinese. Luckily, I speak it fluently." Before launching into the speech, she added, "One quick note, as my mother spoke German to us as we were growing up, my Chinese has a very slight German accent." And broke out into German, just like that. Sie sprach perfekt deutsch! How cool! [Photo via]
