The internet loses it after Sandra Oh makes history at Golden Globes: 'Do you accept Sandra Oh in your heart as your lord and savior?'
Sandra Oh was overcome with emotion seeing the diverse “faces of change” in the crowd at the 2019 Golden Globes.
“I said yes to the fear of being on this stage tonight because I wanted to be here to look out into this audience and witness this moment of change,” the Korean-Canadian actress said, fighting back tears during her opening monologue alongside Andy Samberg. “Right now this moment is real because I see you. I see you. All these faces of change.”
She concluded, “And now, so will everyone else.”
On Sunday, Oh made history not once — by co-hosting the show — but twice, when she won the award for best actress in a TV drama.
Having previously won a Golden Globe for best supporting actress as Dr. Christina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy, Oh became the first entertainer of Asian descent to win multiple awards from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the annual awards show. Her win also marked the first time in 39 years that a woman of Asian descent won a Golden Globe in this acting category after Yoko Shimada took home the prize in 1980 for Shogun.
Oh dedicated her big win to none other than her parents sitting in the audience.
“There are two people here tonight that I’m so grateful that they are here with me. I’d like to thank my mother and my father,” Oh said during her acceptance speech.
“Mom, Dad, I love you,” the groundbreaking Asian actress tearily said in Korean.
Reactions to Oh throughout the night were congratulatory and enthusiastic, including fawning fans and former Grey’s Anatomy co-stars.
