Katherine Heigl and her Mother in LA on February 27, 2008

With her husband Josh off on tour, Katherine Heigl was busy yesterday doing — what else? — shopping for her new home and chilling with her mom. Understandably, Katherine is a little more comfortable with her family than the Hollywood A-List, and just after the Oscars she spoke to Access Hollywood about her jitters. Here's more:

• On being at the Oscars: "It was kind of surreal. I just felt very out of my league, you know? I was sitting behind Cate Blanchett and Jack Nicholson and sitting next to Renee Zellweger. I kind of wanted to get out my iPhone and take pictures."
• On being near Jack Nicholson: "He called me sugar a couple of times. I was very excited about it. In fact, I might have to tell everyone I know that Jack Nicholson called me sugar."
