Sandra Oh – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Mon, 30 Mar 2020 05:00:06 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 “Killing Eve” Season 3 Premiere Is Moved Up https://omgcheckitout.com/killing-eve-season-3-premiere-is-moved-up/ Mon, 30 Mar 2020 05:05:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=37581 Season three of the Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer-led psychopath drama is coming back for sooner than expected.

AMC has announced that the show’s third season premiere has been moved forward by two weeks. Initially scheduled for April 26, season three will now debut on April 12. 

“We know how adored this series is and we know how keen people are for great content right now,” said Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios. “This season of Killing Eve digs deep psychologically, and with actors like Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, and Fiona Shaw the results are nothing short of astonishing. We literally couldn’t wait for fans to see it.”

Killing Eve was created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Suzanne Heathcote serves as lead writer and executive producer on the show’s third season. The forthcoming season also stars Harriet Walter, Danny Sapani, Gemma Whelan, Camille Cottin, Steve Pemberton, Raj Bajaj, Turlough Convery, Pedja Bjelac and Evgenia Dodina.

Sandra Oh to Star in New Netflix Dramedy “The Chair” https://omgcheckitout.com/sandra-oh-to-star-in-new-netflix-dramedy-the-chair/ Sun, 23 Feb 2020 05:20:08 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=37001 Sandra Oh has already signed her new project. 

Multiple outlets confirm that the Killing Eve star has been cast in a new dramedy titled The Chair at Netflix.

In The Chair, Oh will play the head of an English department at a major university. Jay Duplass is also attached to star in an unspecified role.

The six-episode half-hour series hails from Amanda Peet, who’s primarily known for her work in front of the camera. The Chair marks Peet’s first go at creating a series. She’ll also executive produce with Game of Thrones creators Dan Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Peet and Annie Julia Wyman co-wrote the pilot for The Chair.

Sandra Oh is most known for her role as Dr. Christina Yang in Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy and Eve Polastri in Killing Eve, for which she became the first actress of Asian descent to be nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

Sandra Oh Ready For Her “Saturday Night Live” Hosting Debut https://omgcheckitout.com/sandra-oh-ready-for-her-saturday-night-live-hosting-debut/ Mon, 11 Mar 2019 08:02:48 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=30398 Sandra Oh is one of those people who make each project they work on 100% better, and she’s getting ready to do the same thing with Saturday Night Live. The two-time Golden Globe winner will be hosting the popular sketch show later this month.

A few months ago, it would have seemed that Sandra Oh is an odd choice for a host, but not anymore. Her comedic talent was on full display during this year’s Golden Globe ceremony, which she co-hosted with Andy Samberg.

We wouldn’t mind seeing this Saturday Night Live veteran popping up in one of the sketches during Oh’s episode. They proved to be a terrific comedic duo, and most viewers will probably be waiting for Samberg to make a cameo since the former cast members of this sketch show do it quite often.

Oh will make her Saturday Night Live debut on March 30 – only a week before the second season of her show Killing Eve premieres on BBC America. Tame Impala will join her as musical guest.

Killing Eve Sets Season 2 Premiere Date https://omgcheckitout.com/killing-eve-sets-season-2-premiere-date/ Fri, 04 Jan 2019 08:46:29 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=28737 Yesterday was a good day for Killing Eve fans as BBC America has announced the premiere date for Season 2.  The critically acclaimed series will return April 7

The premiere date was announced via the network’s official Twitter. The announcement featured a short video of Eve (Sandra Oh) running her hands through her hair in slo-mo thought while a voice asks, “Why are you and Villanelle so interested in each other? What really happened in Paris?”

The thriller follows British intelligence agent Eve Polastri (Oh) in pursuit of psychopath assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Oh and Comer will reprise their roles as the mutually obsessed women. The second season will pick up right where the Season 1 finale left off — with Villanelle gone after being stabbed by Polastri.

Killing Eve is picking up exactly 36 heart-thumping seconds after the events of the season finale,” said Sarah Barnett, President of AMC Entertainment Networks. “This new season is packed with superlative performances and is as twisty, subversive, darkly funny, nerve-wracking and pleasurable as our fans could desire.”

The eight-episode season will feature new cast members including Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Shannon Tarbet, Nina Sosanya, Edward Bluemel and Julian Barratt.

Killing Eve return Sunday, April 7.

Golden Globe Hosts Tease 2019 Ceremony With Hilarious Promos https://omgcheckitout.com/golden-globe-hosts-tease-2019-ceremony-with-hilarious-promos/ Wed, 02 Jan 2019 07:20:01 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=28675 Hollywood Foreign Press Association made our wildest dreams come true when they announced Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg will serve as hosts of the upcoming Golden Globe ceremony.

This unlikely duo proved it’s a match made in heaven with a series of hilarious promos, and we can’t wait to see them in action on January 6!

These short clips proved HFPA president Meher Tatna wasn’t wrong when she said these two have undeniable chemistry. Despite initial doubts, we know the ceremony is in safe hands as Oh and Samberg have no trouble bouncing off each other despite having a completely different sense of humor.

One of the promos shows their miserable fail at a secret best friend handshake, while the other simply features two stars listing a bunch of random words, and trying to make them sound spectacular.

In addition to hosting, Sandra Oh will also be competing for a Golden Globe award this year thanks to her masterful performance in Killing Eve. She’s already a previous recipient of this prestigious accolade, just like Samberg.

Sandra Oh: Saying Yes To “Killing Eve” Was Like “Falling In Love” https://omgcheckitout.com/sandra-oh-saying-yes-killing-eve-like-falling-love/ Mon, 28 May 2018 09:42:27 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=22485 After starring in ABC’s hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy for almost a decade, Sandra Oh opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about her first series regular since leaving Grey’s. 

During an Emmy Roundtable discussion for THR Oh said that saying yes to Killing Eve was like “falling in love.”

“I think it takes a while to eventually get to a point in your career where you can actually make a choice and after a decade of my life on a show, I had enough economic power to be able to say no.”

Oh chose to actively wait for four years for her next major project. 

“Those four years were like active waiting. I was not working really in here [motions to gut] to be able to figure out what the right thing is and what it is to say no and what it is to say yes.”

Oh plays Killing Eve’s hero and protagonist, an MI5 officer named Eve Polastri. She is one half of the female-led crime thriller, the other is a notorious assassin named Villanelle (Jodie Comer). The series premiered in April on BBC America. 

“It was the character and Phoebe’s voice [Killing Eve’s showrunner and executive producer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge] that I thought, ‘This is the right thing for me. This feels right to say yes.’”

“I think we’ve all had to along the way make our decisions of, ‘Well this crappy but I got to eat’ to then the point of going, ‘OK, how do I want to influence the storyline and how do I, let’s say regarding other people who do not have as much power, how do I influence the casting on the show? How do I influence the people behind the camera on the show because now after all this time, I’m able to say something? If you still want to work as an actor and be creative and empowered as an actor, I swear you can still do it.”
