The real Leigh Anne Tuohy walked the red carpet at the Oscars ahead of best-actress nominee Sandra Bullock, who portrays her in "The Blind Side." "Go figure, here we are. It's crazy," she said in her sassy Memphis accent. "We're excited." Tuohy said she still speaks several times a week to Bullock, and they went to dinner last week. Tuohy was accompanied by her husband, Sean, but their adopted son Michael Oher stayed away. "He had a good taste of this and he said, 'I'm not doing that,'" Tuohy said. Oher, who was the focus of the movie, plays for the NFL professional football team the Baltimore Ravens. "He does that and he does it really well, and that's what he wants to stick with," she said.
