Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds Had a Hilarious Sing-Off For Betty White's 98th Birthday


Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty White all starred in the 2009 romantic comedy The Proposal, and it seems they’ve kept in touch since then. Exhibit A: This truly hilarious video Reynolds posted of himself and Bullock for White’s 98th birthday on Friday, January 17. The clip starts with the two actors singing “Happy Birthday” to White back and forth. Then, Reynolds goes rogue and starts a joking rant about how he loves White more than Bullock does.

“What does Sandy do for you every year?” Reynolds quips. “Like, show up and hand-deliver flowers for you wearing nothing but black socks and a dozen gold bracelets? Just like you requested? Doubt it.” Reynolds’s talking is intercut with Bullock still singing “Happy Birthday” like nothing is going on.

Honestly, the video deserves an Oscar. Watch it for yourself, below, because you deserve a little joy.

The Proposal, if you don’t remember, centers on a woman (Bullock) who fakes a relationship with her assistant (Reynolds) in order to avoid being deported back to Canada. Betty White plays Reynolds’s grandmother in the film. It grossed over $317.4 million at the box office and earned Bullock a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical.

In an interview with Parade a few years back, White joked that the secret to her long life has been vodka and hot dogs. But she did offer some sage advice for people: “Enjoy life,” she said. “Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.”

Having Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock do a sing-off for your birthday certainly counts as “great stuff,” in my opinion.

Here's Why Ellen Pompeo Is OK With Sandra Oh Not Returning to *Grey's Anatomy*


One of the most dynamic duos in Grey’s Anatomy history is Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). But sadly, their iconic reign ended when Oh left the series in 2013. The actress has been quite busy since then, most recently starring in the critically-acclaimed BBC America series Killing Eve. (She picked up a Golden Globe Award for her performance in the show earlier this year.)

Even still, people are stuck on the idea of Oh making a return to Grey’s Anatomy some time in the future. After all, she was a pivotal part of the long-running series, which may end with season 16, so fans are hoping for some on-screen magic before time runs out.

Unfortunately, this isn’t something in Oh’s per view at the moment. “I get [the Grey’s] question regularly, and I answer it really based on what I’m feeling that day — and today [my answer] is no,” she told TV Line last June.

And this is something Pompeo is cool with—even though she “selfishly” wants Oh to resurrect Cristina Yang. Her reasoning? She’s happy Oh is finding success and fulfillment in her current work.

“Selfishly I would love to see Sandra Oh come back to Grey’s,” Pompeo told TV Line this week. “But I also love Killing Eve so much, and I love seeing her have so many of these incredible moments. So, as much as I love Sandra, I’d rather see her shine out on her own. I enjoy that more. That‘s more gratifying to me.” Spoken like a true friend!

According to TV Line, Oh’s affection for Killing Eve is a major reason why a return to Grey’s isn’t on her radar. “I love Eve. I really love her,” Oh told the outlet. “I also love Cristina Yang. I’m constantly stunned at the response I still get from [Grey’s fans], you know? It’s so fantastic, and it pleases me. It gives me a tremendous amount of satisfaction that, you know, you did work that actually continues going on past the time that you’ve left it… It’s really phenomenal. And the only way that I think I can continue doing good work is just staying true to my own compass. And that compass is pointing north.”

No matter where her compass points, though, we’ll always have the 200+ episodes of Grey’s featuring Cristina to keep us warm. And good news: they’re all streaming on Netflix.

Golden Globes 2019: Why Sandra Oh Only Wore Female Designers to Host


Sandra Oh had a very good night at the 2019 Golden Globes: She kicked off her duties as host with an incredibly heartfelt speech, made some hilarious jokes, and then went on to collect her own trophy for Best Actress in a TV Drama, becoming the first Asian-American woman to win that category in almost 40 years. Throughout all of this, Oh wore a trio of incredible gowns that were quite meaningful themselves.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Elizabeth Saltzman, Oh’s stylist, explained that they decided to showcase exclusively “strong female designers” through the actress’ wardrobe at the Golden Globes. “I decided to think of things that would make her feel confident and empowered and beautiful,” she said.

The two women who best communicated that, Saltzman added, were Donatella Versace and Stella McCartney. “I don’t know a more fearless, bold person who works harder than Donatella,” she said. “Donatella really gives. She’s super empowering, and super fun, and has been through stuff.” McCartney, meanwhile, helped them create “the most amazing kapow! dress” that “[felt] like something out of the great Hollywood films of yesteryear.”

See all of Oh’s female-designed looks from the 2019 Golden Globes, ahead.

Sandra Oh Brought Her Parents to the Emmy Awards, and Twitter Is Obsessed


Sandra Oh made Emmy history this year as the first Asian woman nominated as outstanding lead actor in a drama series, thanks to her role in BBC America’s Killing Eve. But it was her parents who stole the show at the ceremony on Monday night (September 17) when they accompanied their daughter on the red carpet.

Joon-soo and Young-nam Oh even joined the actress and Grey’s Anatomy alum in front of the cameras—most notably, to gush about Sandra during an interview with Variety. “I’m so proud of her,” Young-nam said before planting a kiss on her daughter’s cheek.

“Oh my God, that happened on film!” Sandra said in response.

Watch the sweet moment, below:

People also noted that Mrs. Oh wore a hanbok, a Korean dress often worn at formal celebrations and ceremonies, to the Emmys. (Sandra actually wore a modern take on a hanbok to the SAG awards in 2008.) For many, Mrs. Oh’s dress was a proud moment of representation. Mr. Oh, meanwhile, looked dashing in his tux.

“Sandra Oh’s mother is wearing a hanbok and has done more for East Asian representation on television than all the broadcasts networks combined,” one Twitter user wrote. Writer and Sleepy Hollow showrunner Albert Kim tweeted, “Sandra Oh’s mom wore a hanbok to the Emmys! There is a hanbok at the Emmys! Forget K-pop, THIS is the sign that Koreans have arrived.” See more Twitter reactions to the Oh family, below:

Throughout the night, the camera panned to Sandra’s parents sitting next to her, and they excitedly cheered her on as her category was announced. Sandra has received five Emmy nominations for her work on Grey’s Anatomy but never won, and many hoped this year would be her big moment. However, The Crown‘s Claire Foy ended up receiving the award. Still, we hope this means Sandra will continue getting recognized for her work—and bringing her parents to award shows, obviously.

Sandra Oh Becomes First Asian Woman to Receive Lead Actress Emmy Nomination for Drama


Sandra Oh has made history as the first Asian woman to be nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for her role in the BBC America series Killing Eve, Los Angeles Times writer Glenn Whipp reports on Twitter.

She’s among good company, too. The other women nominated in her category include Elisabeth Moss for The Handmaid’s Tale, Keri Russell for The Americans, Evan Rachel Wood for Westworld, Claire Foy for The Crown, and Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black.

If you haven’t seen the show yet—and if so, what are you waiting for?—Killing Eve revolves around a bored MI5 officer in London (Oh) who wishes she could do more with her career than shuffle around papers and collect data at her desk. Her in-the-field dreams are soon granted when she becomes embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game with a British female assassin, and their mutual obsession with each other propels the eight-episode drama. But if you don’t like murders and violence, also know it’s one of the most fashionable shows of the year, too.

As Vanity Fair notes, Oh has had success with Emmy nominations in the past, so this isn’t her first rodeo with the honor. You might remember her years-long tenure as Dr. Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy, for which she received five consecutive supporting actress nominations. (She never won, sadly.)

Shockingly, if Oh were to win for Killing Eve at the September ceremony, she would become only the third Asian actor to take home an Emmy, according to Vanity Fair. The two previous winners of Asian descent are Archie Panjabi, who won a supporting actress Emmy in 2010 for The Good Wife, and Riz Ahmed, who won for lead actor in a drama in 2017, for The Night Of.

The New 'Ocean's 8' Trailer Will Make You Really Want to Plan a Heist With Sandra Bullock


I’m just going to lay all my cards out on the table. I never really cared about the Ocean’s Eleven franchise. Something about a bunch of macho dudes robbing a casino just struck me as blah. Now I know what those movies were missing: Rihanna. And Sandra Bullock. And Cate Blanchett. And Anne Hathaway. And Awkwafina. And Mindy Kaling. And Sarah Paulson. And Helena Bonham Carter, of course.

You see, these actors are at the center of the all-female Ocean’s Eleven reboot—titled Ocean’s 8—which is why my opinion on the franchise has changed. Not only do I want to see Ocean’s 8 multiple times, I’m also now dying to plan a heist with them all.

Especially after I watched the latest full trailer for Ocean’s 8, which hit the Internet on Thursday (April 12). I’m so invested in Bullock’s character Debbie Ocean, Danny’s sister who decides to heist the annual Met Gala with the help of six other women. Meanwhile, Hathaway plays Daphne Kluger, the wealthy celebrity whose $150 million necklace Debbie wants to steal. Watch the new trailer, below:

I’m not sure what about this trailer excites me the most: Hathaway’s deliciously over-the-top portrayal of Daphne, Blanchett’s shaggy blond hairstyle, Rihanna being a computer wiz, or Paulson’s glowing presence. (The American Horror Story alum has my favorite line in one of the teasers. “This is the Met Gay-la, after all” she says to a Very Important Woman working for the event. “Gah-la. The Met Gah-la,” she corrects Paulson. That’s literally me anytime I try to be fancy.)

Ocean’s 8 hits theaters June 8, 2018.
