Hey Justin, if you’re free on Oscar Night there’s a Academy Award nominee who may have an extra ticket with your name on it.
Gabourey Sidibe has named pop crooner Justin Timberlake as her ideal Oscars date. The 26-year-old actress is nominated for Best Actress Academy Award for her role as a horribly-abused Harlem teen in the critically-acclaimed drama Precious. Gabby appeared on Canada’s eTalk on Wednesday, where she revealed that she’d like Justin to battle it out with The Hurt Locker actor Anthony Mackie for a chance to escort her to next month’s coveted ceremony.
“I’m just going to throw them in the ring and make them do it!” she joked.
The actress then turned to the camera and said: “Justin, if you’re not doing anything on that night, maybe you could be my date or something. It’s fine. No pressure!”
