Sandra Oh may have made history at the Golden Globes – but it was her parents who stole the show.
Oh was awarded the Best Actress gong for her role as assassin-hunting spy Eve Polastri in hit drama Killing Eve.
The 47-year-old, who hosted the show with Andy Samberg, fought back tears as she took to the stage to dedicate the award to her mother and father.
“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,” Oh said before stepping aside to bow and address them in Korean. “Mum, Dad, I love you,” she said.
The camera cut to her proud parents applauding, leaving fans in tears.
One posted: “Sandra Oh’s father applauding her win just ENDED ME <3.”
Another tweeted: “He made me cry so sweet. So much love!!”
A third wrote: “ITS ALL JUST SO, SO PRECIOUS.”
Big Little Lies actress Reese Witherspoon also praised Oh and her parents, tweeting: “So happy for you @IamSandraOh and for your cute mom& dad #GoldenGlobes2019!! Your performance in @KillingEve is incredible!!”
Speaking backstage Oh added: “For Asian kids, to make, our parents happy is so fulfilling. My parents are amazing and amazing people and Internet sensations. They’re just so happy.”
Oh kept fans up-to-date with her parents outing to the 76th annual awards ceremony, posting a picture of the pair backstage with her best friend.
She captioned the shot: “Goodfellas style - mom & dad go through the kitchen @goldenglobes W/ my BFF Margo.”
Oh beat Caitriona Balfe, Elisabeth Moss, Julia Roberts and Keri Russell to take the Best Drama Actress in a Television Series on Sunday night.
She made history after becoming the first Asian woman to win an award at the same ceremony she was hosting.
She is not the first Asian actress to win in her category after Japanese star Yoko Shimada was honoured for Shogun in 1981.
