SO happy to see Sandra Oh become the first Asian woman to get an Emmy nomination for Leading Actress in Killing Eve! It so happens that the Killing Eve BBC series is a female led project with an amazing script about two women for a change – the men are all secondary characters. It’s interesting to note that Sandra said her character was NOT written for an Asian female – just a woman- and she was surprised to be invited to audition. Sandra pointed out how that NEVER happens – her ethnicity had always limited the roles she could audition for – thanks mostly to white men, of course. Our only Emmy complaint is that the brilliant Jodie Comer from Killing Eve (above, left) was not nominated – when you watch the series, you’ll see what we mean…

What about Julie Chen? She’s been sleeping with the boss of CBS for years and has not ben given a reward
correct, we all got a stiff one now!!
Congratulations to Sandra. Sorry that Jody didn’t get a nomination as her part in the series is just as good. They both are wonderful actresses and the way they play off one another is fantastic. The show should have been nominated in my opinion. Love the show and can hardly wait for it to return for season 2.
