2019 Golden Globes: Sandra Oh Makes History Winning Best Actress in TV Drama
Sandra Oh made history at the 2019 Golden Globes by winning the Best Actress in a TV Drama trophy.
Oh, who also co-hosted the ceremony with Andy Samberg, won for her performance on BBC America's "Killing Eve."
She is the first Asian woman to take home that category's award since Yoko Shimada won in 1980 for her role in "Shogun."
Oh is also the first performer of Asian heritage who has won more than one Golden Globes. This was her second win, after she took home the supporting TV actress award in 2006 for her role on "Grey's Anatomy."
And she is the first person of Asian descent to host the Golden Globes.
During her acceptance speech, Oh spoke in Korean to thank her parents in the audience and tell them she loves them.
Earlier in the evening, Oh teared up at the end of the opening number, saying, "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. Right now, this moment is real. Trust me, it is real. Because I see you and I see you — all of these faces of change — and now so will everyone else.”
