Awesomeness

For those of you who have followed my blog, you know how much I love Sandra Oh. My niece and I bemoan her departure on Grey’s Anatomy (even though I think Bailey is the new heart of that show). Cristina Yang is our hero.

In case you missed her Golden Globes Acceptance speech, here it is. The most moving part is the tribute to her parents where she thanks them in Korean and bows. The press picked up the Korean, but no one mentioned the bow. Anyone who is Korean knows what a tremendous show of respect and love that is.

Last year, she was the first Asian woman to receive an Emmy nomination for outstanding female lead. Shes been nominated for many other awards. She was the first Asian woman to host the Golden Globes. She is amazing.
