The reunion of last year’s award circuit nominees, Sandra Bullock (‘The Blind Side’) and Gabourey Sidibe (‘Precious’) began at this year’s Golden Globes with a scream of ‘Mama!’ and a giant bear hug. The two women exchanged numbers and chatted work goings-on. ‘You tell Brett Ratner (who’s directing Sidibe in the upcoming ‘Tower Heist’) I say hi,’ Bullock told Sidibe. ‘He gave me my first job at 19.’ The two then gabbed about Bullock’s new baby boy in what might have been the most priceless exchange of the night. ‘This may be a little racist, but your child is black,’ Sidibe announced. But then realizing what she said might have been a little too blunt, the actress toned it down. ‘I’m so sorry, your ‘child’ is ‘African American,’ ‘ she said with unabashed glee.
