Sandra Oh Receives the SeeHer Award | Gold Gala 2023

Sandra Oh received the SeeHer Award, presented by Awkwafina, in 2023 for artists who advocate for gender equality, portray characters with authenticity, defy stereotypes, and push boundaries in front of and behind the camera. The daughter of Korean immigrants, Oh started her performance career as a child. She attended the National Theatre School of Canada, and at age 19 had her breakthrough role in the television biopic “The Diary of Evelyn Lau” (1993). Her performance garnered a Gemini nomination and the 1994 Cannes FIPA d’Or for Best Actress. In 1996, Oh moved to Los Angeles to join the cast of HBO’s comedy “Arli$$”. Roles in films like “Under the Tuscan Sun” (2003) and “Sideways” (2004) followed. Oh then landed the role of Dr. Cristina Yang in the hit TV series “Grey’s Anatomy” (2005), which garnered her numerous award nominations over the course of her 10 years on the show. And just this year, she hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Oh just finished starring as the lead actress in BBC America’s spy drama, “Killing Eve,” for which she has won numerous awards at the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
