Once Upon A Time In Shondaland…

Last night Buzzfeed brought Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington and Viola Davis together, and the world will never be the same. The ladies of Shondaland, Shonda Rhimes’s producing company, will start in Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, respectively, Thursday nights on ABC. I put together a recap of the best moments from the interview. #ShondalandIsTheBestLand

We don’t know who said it because the feed wasn’t working correctly yet, but it’s perfect that the first words we heard from Shonaland were “Am I the only one who’s drinking?”tumblr_n2esalS0sX1qk08n1o1_500

Ellen Pompeo on Grey’s Anatomy’s 11th season: “Otherwise known as The O.G.”

Ellen on Shonda’s shows featuring people of every race: “Thank God that Shonda Rhimes had this agenda to make television look like life, to make it look like the real world.” #TGFSR (Thank God for Shonda Rhimes)tumblr_mrt0liVQSB1sd5847o1_500

Ellen (she was the real star, no surprise) fangirling over Kerry Washington: “She deserves a lot of credit for making Scandal what it is.” #BFFs
