Sandra Oh celebrated her historic Emmy nomination by bringing her parents to the ceremony Monday evening in Los Angeles.
"I'm just so excited to be able to bring them," she told Today's Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie. Oh is nominated for best lead actress in a drama series for her role in Killing Eve, making her the first Asian woman nominated for a lead actress Emmy. "I've never really been separate from it, my Asian-ness," she told People on the red carpet. "How can you be? But it's absolutely so special. I can feel it. It means something, hopefully, to our community."
