We aspire to be this woman.

Betty White has smacked retirement in the face and seems to be reaching the pinnacle of her career at the age of 89.

Betty WhiteBetty White has been nominated for a SAG awardThe Hot In Cleveland star has been nominated for a SAG award in the category of Outstanding Female Actor in a TV Comedy Series.

And it isn't the first time the Screen Actors Guild has acknowledged the legendary actress. America's national treasure scooped the prize last year, saying: "This is the biggest surprise I've had in this business."

The sequin-clad octogenarian got a standing ovation as she took to the stage to receive her 2011 award.

And the previous year she received a Lifetime Achievement Award. Is there no stopping this woman? Shouldn't she be giving Werther's Originals to little kids with bowl haircuts and badly knitted jumpers by now?

We can only hope we have the same cheeky glint in our eye when we've had a bus pass for 30 years.

Betty will be going up against Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Tina Fey (30 Rock) and Sofia Vergara (Modern Family).

And if she does beat the competition next month, she'll be scoring a SAG hat trick at 90 years old.

We want her diet plan. Now.

Hot In Cleveland will return to Sky Living in 2012.
