Octavia Spencer has impressed everyone during this year’s award season — winning a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in The Help. She is now a favorite to win the Oscar for best supporting actress. If she wins, Spencer says she will treat herself to a breast lift. The actress who will soon be turning 40 and says that she wants her breast to look the way they did when she was a teenager. People magazine reports:

She’s earned it!

Asked by Parade if she’s planning a splurge gift to herself in the wake of her success in The Help, Oscar front-runner Octavia Spencer says she does have a little present in mind.

“I am going to get my boobs lifted,” she says. “That’s going to be my first gift. I’m going to do that. I figured going into my 40s I want my boobs where they were when I was 17.”

But don’t expect Spencer, who’ll be 40 on May 25, to debut her new look at the Academy Awards this Sunday, where she’s a favorite to win Best Supporting Actress – having already won Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards, among others. In fact, it will be a little while.
