Oh, Okazaki get Emmy Nods
Congrats to Sandra Oh and Steven Okazaki for being the lone Asian American Emmy nominees in non-technical categories this year. Oh's nod is for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series for her role as Dr. Christina Yang on "Grey's Anatomy" and Okazaki is in the running for the Exceptional Merit in Nonfiction Filmmaking award for his Hiroshima documentary "White Light/Black Rain".
There's a smattering of Asian/American nominees in categories like sound editing, lighting and design. You know, the categories that never get aired on the award show broadcast. Props to all the AA nominees for their excellence in and contribution to the television industry.

Sandra rocks. I am glad she is getting the attention she deserves. She is totally down for the API film community as well. I saw her in 2003 at the San Diego Asian Am film festival. I believe she was helping organize it and run a few of the shows or something to that degree. If I did not know she was an actress I would have thought she was just some event volunteer. She really went out of her way. I have always thought well of her since then and have been happy to see her career grow.
Hey, that's great! I remember Sandra from the movie "Sideways". She did a good job.
very cool. Steven Okazaki definitely deserves it for White Light/Black Rain.
i just finished watching white light/black rain this week. i don't know. i felt like i wanted more out of it. of course, all of the images were horrifying. but i wanted to hear more from the japanese government, or more from the american people that knew, or didn't know about the aftermath. i guess at the end of the film, i just didn't feel like we learned anything. or am i being too critical?
oh and i just saw this list on CAPE's eblast! congrats everyone!
