Sandra Oh Isn’t the Only Asian Actor to Have Won a Golden Globe – Here Are Past Winners!
My Asian-American, Grey's Anatomy-obsessed heart is having a moment right now, because Sandra Oh just won a Golden Globe for lead actress in a TV series in the drama category for her role as Eve Polastri on BBC America's Killing Eve! It's not Oh's first time in the award season rodeo - she's also won a Golden Globe in 2006 and earned five Emmy nominations for her role as Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy.Oh isn't the first and only Asian to ever win a Golden Globe, though.

Other past wins for Asians include British-Indian Ben Kingsley for best lead actor in a drama
