Sandra Oh, Chandra Wilson Nominated For Emmy Awards
Candidates for the 2009 Emmy Awards were announced this morning, and Grey's Anatomy stars Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson were both very deservingly nominated for top honors in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
It is the fourth consecutive year Chandra Wilson has been nominated in the category, while Sandra Oh has been in the running for the last five - or every year since Grey's Anatomy debuted in the Spring of 2005. Quite an amazing run for these two ...
Congratulations to these two talented women!
Hopefully this season, one or the other wins the award. So far, neither of them has - although co-star Katherine Heigl won the Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy in 2007.

So is KH the only Emmy award winner then for S2?
Hugh Lawrie, it was so odd hearing him do an American accent at first, now there's a man who should have an Emmy

HOPE S.W. GETS IT, HER "SCARED SPEECH" IN THE FINALE WAS AMAZING....
Wasn't it though? Cut to the core. Beautiful.

I'm confused, I thought Sandra Oh had already won an Emmy. But she does deserve her nomination.
I can't say the same of Chandra, I thought she overacted on several occasions and showed little sublty. I like the lady and the character, but I really don't think her performance is worthy of an award.
Patrick changed his category to supporting actor and still got excluded. Shame, cos I think he liked showing Der's dark side. I hope he gets to show his range of acting skills again. But not at the expense of MerDer.
I'm not surprised Ellen was again overlooked. She had to show a wide range of emmotions, did it subtly and with class. Goodness knows what she'll have to do to earn a nomination, let alone win something. When GA ends, I think Ellen ought to try a comedic role, she has made me laugh (and cry)so much this season.
Rank: Extra

I wonder why Justin Chambers did not get nominated ... and Katherine Heigl also ... they both were great during this season. I loved this season coz of them
Rank: Recurring Character

I'm still in shock. No ELLEN POMPEO???? This SUCKS big time.
I love Chandra but do feel she overacted a bit this season.
So my vote is for Sandra because she ROCKS and is always makes me laugh.
