The 'Oh' Factor

With Grey's Anatomy finally making it onto terrestrial screens here in the UK tonight, a quick nod must go to one of my favorite Canadian actresses: Sandra Oh. Sandra rose to fame in Canada in her Genie-award performance in Double Happiness in 1994 and again won the award in the apocalyptic Last Night in 1998. She has a natural talent and charisma that has helped her elevate thankless characters into very watchable ones (see Arli$$; Under The Tuscan Sun ) and holding her own in prestige films (Sideways). I cannot wait to see what she does on Grey's Anatomy in a role that has already won her a Golden Globe and a SAG as well as an Emmy nomination.
