The Precious star, who has been nominated for 'Best Actress', also said that she had been joking when she said she wanted Justin Timberlake to be her date.
"I was kidding about that," she told E! News. "It was just a joke."
She explained that she is taking her mother to the ceremony and added: "I don't know who my dream date is. I don't think I have one."
Sidibe also said that she believes there is no point in being anxious about the awards.
"I'm not nervous at all," she explained. "The show will happen whether or not I'm nervous."
The 2010 Academy Awards will be broadcast live tonight at 5pm PT/8pm ET on ABC in the US and from 1am on Sky Movies Premiere in the UK.
