I thought maybe I'd been spending too much time focusing on comedy, so for today's Emmy Watch I decided to highlight the Supporting Actress in a Drama. I'll make it quick: Chandra Wilson or Sandra Oh deserve it. They've been on the ball this season of Grey's Anatomy, even though the writing and plot lines have been all over the place. These two kept the show grounded. If I had to pick between the two, I'd say Sandra Oh deserves it more if only because Chandra Wilson cried a bit too much this season (I feel bad for you, Bailey, but you're supposed to be the strong one. Buck up a little). This season, Oh's Cristina Yang showed such promising signs of development: she was able to stick out a relationship without being cynical about every little thing, she showed true emotion and concern for her fellow doctors, primarily towards Dr. Owen Hunt. Below, find one of the couple's crowning scenes together, in which Hunt, suffering from severe post traumatic stress disorder (he is recently back from Iraq) hurts Cristina in her sleep. The scene is harrowing but a true test of Oh's ability as an actress.
Hope Davis was excellent this season too, so I wouldn't be surprised if she or Dianne Wiest take the award.
