Gabourey Sidibe wants to take Justin Timberlake to the Academy Awards - as her date.
The Precious star, who is a self-confessed 'N SYNC superfan, has revealed her big night at the Oscars would be perfect if Mr. SexyBack himself would agree to walk the red carpet with her.
But she wouldn't be too disappointed if The Hurt Locker star Anthony Mackie called and asked her to take him instead.
She says, "I want to make Justin Timberlake and Anthony Mackie fight it out for the honour of being my date. I'm just going to throw them in the ring and make them do it!"
But Timberlake would be her first choice, and she made a public plea to the singer/actor during a recent appearance on Canadian TV show eTalk.
She said, "Justin, if you're not doing anything on that night, maybe you could be my date or something. It's fine. No pressure."
Sidibe has shot to fame with her gritty role in Precious, based on the novel Push by Sapphire landing a Best Actress nod when the Oscar nominations were announced earlier in the week.
