It has become something of a tradition for Golden Globe Awards hosts to exhibit an edgy sense of humour, sometimes taking a cheeky dig at the contenders.
However, a bit of light teasing aside, the talented, and famously lovely, Sandra Oh opted for a far purer approach; making sure to thank her supportive – and very, very proud – parents.
Of course, Sandra wasn’t just the witty and beautifully attired host, she was also up for a nomination of her own: the award for Best Actress in a TV Drama.
It was no great surprise when Sandra won the award for her role in the outstanding Killing Eve, beating drama heavyweights such as Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Julia Roberts (Homecoming).
After accepting the award and thanking Killing Eve writer and executive producer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sandra then turned to two very important individuals indeed:
Mostly, there are two people here tonight that I am so grateful that they are here with me. I’d like to thank my mother, my father.
Speaking in Korean, Sandra added:
Mom, Dad, I love you.
Sandra’s parents could be seen giving their talented daughter a standing ovation, applauding with evident love and excitement. Her father even took a bow, displaying the sort of happiness we all want to bring to our family.
A visibly emotional Sandra then bowed in return to her delighted parents, with her joy overflowing to her legions of fans around the world.
People loved how heartfelt Sandra’s expression of love was, with her mum and dad quickly becoming two of the most adored individuals of the evening.
One loyal fan blubbed:
I dream of giving my parents a shoutout during my acceptance speech as heartfelt as this. Sandra is everything I aspire to be #goldenglobes #sandraoh
Another confessed:
Well done Sandra!This moment between @IamSandraOh and her parents on the #GoldenGlobes made me and my parents sob!!
