Professional Admiration: Jenna Ushkowitz

Jenna Ushkowitz from Glee posted this on her Twitter a few days ago:

Jenna Ushkowitz is a huge fan of Sandra Oh and has stated earlier that she has been campaigning to get Sandra to play her aunt/mom on the show.

For Halloween she even went dressed as Cristina Yang as you can see in the pic below:

Directing Sandra

A tidbit from Kevin McKidd from an interview with Backstage on directing his first episode and directing Sandra (or is it the other way around):

Sandra Oh with director Eric Stoltz and co-star Kevin McKidd
on the set of Grey's Anatomy in 2008.

Back Stage: Did you get any flak from [onscreen wife] Sandra Oh?

McKidd: The whole crew and cast were so supportive. They could have easily acted out. They all knew that it's a big deal and it's a lot of responsibility and I didn't want to screw up. There was a point with Sandra where I was trying to nudge her into being slightly melodramatic in a certain moment. She was like, "Whoa, whoa, Kevin. No, no." Because she knows that I wouldn't have liked that direction if I was doing it. So, we had a joke about that.

Coming Up For Cristina And Owen This Season

Sandra's co-star Kevin McKidd is directing the upcoming episode of Grey's Anatomy which airs on Feb. 3 and here is new interview with Kevin who talks about what Cristina is up to in the episode and what is coming up for Cristina and Owen during the rest of the season:

TV Guide Magazine: What about Cristina? It must have been interesting directing your on-screen wife.
McKidd: Cristina is back to her old self. She and Jackson are vying for Teddy's attention for a triple bypass. This was my first time on the big stage directing and Sandra [Oh, Cristina] and everyone were so supportive and had my back. I felt really blessed. It was a huge joy!

TV Guide Magazine: What about your character? Where's Owen?
McKidd: Owen's sort of just referred to. I thought it was quite amusing that they have him going off to the dentist that day. Cristina manages to use this in her battle with Jackson in a very funny way.

....

TV Guide Magazine: Lastly, what's to come for Owen and Cristina as the season continues?
McKidd: They've been in a really good place ever since rushing in to this marriage, but something comes to light in this latter half of the season regarding a life situation going on with lots of people in the hospital. Cristina and Owen realize they have very opposing opinions on this life decision.

TV Guide Magazine: Sounds like they're also going to be discussing baby making?
McKidd: It's going to become a real problem for them. Kind of choppy. They both want different things. This will play out for the rest of the season and I'm told it will build toward something very interesting.

TV Guide Magazine: Well, if they've already survived both of their battles with post-traumatic stress disorder — including Owen strangling Cristina in bed — I would think the topic of babies should be a breeze.
McKidd: (Laughs) You never know....
