Sandra : Did that line impact 8 year olds that deeply?
Me in 2005, as an actual 8 year old: YES

[@hbeachley]

Not surprises, but damn, she’s so smart and aware.

[@patricemarie2960]

Terrific, character actress! You really believe she is a surgeon, MD! 💜💥💜

[@makiburgess5733]

Sandra is the kind of sweet, genuine person who gives us Canadians a good name.
They should get her to do a guest appearance on Kim’s Convenience. The most famous Korean-Canadian walking into the iconic Korean-Canadian sit-com.

[@Svengali764]

Oh I love that show! Janet's Appa reminds me so much of my baba. ❤️ Gruff, tender hearted weirdo.

[@timaa.4379]

I’d love to see that! Kim’s convenience is so hilarious and Sandra would make it even more awesome

[@mrharris9414]

She's right about the weird social hierarchy. Especially on awards show like Golden Globe.

[@SKC193]

greensleep Exactly! Patting each other on the back.

[@CptSpears007]

How do you know

[@blue3katrin]

@greensleep well it's an awards show celebrating performances and promoting films and TV shows. Sometimes the most popular nominee wins, but sometimes lesser known nominees win. To say it's just celebrities "celebrating each other for being good celebrities" is purposefully disingenuous and makes you look a little bitter. If you don't like celebrities then go watch documentaries and learn something perhaps?

[@deem9020]

This woman has my whole heart ❤ 😊😇!

[@xostolenheartox]

I could watch her forever, just such a wonderful human.

[@knourymiapitogo7766]

i really like her voice and love the way she laughs or snickers

[@sinonburr6047]

She's such a very talented actress, very nice and kind-hearted. I love her both in Gray's Anatomy and Killing Eve. Hopefully she gets more better roles.

[@kbaylor123]

GENIUS! There should absolutely be retroactive awards. All that overlooked at the time stuff.

[@kinsmed]

Okay, everybody clean up and be nice. Sandra Oh is alive in our timeline.

[@hbeachley]

She is all around charming. I want to be jealous of her, but I just can’t help loving her COMPLETELY!

[@scottking788]

So real with the virtual tour. Enormous talent, funny, smart and beautiful.!!!

[@lainiritsch2192]

I’ll love Dr. Christina Yang until the day I die

[@shayboogie3682]

original “Yang gang” here!

[@frey2314]

I LOVE SANDRA❤️❤️❤️

[@lurategh]

Gah, I have loved the way she played Vice Principal Gupta for the longest time!! So hilarious and quotable. And she is amazing in Killing Eve! Always been a fan of her.

[@todancewithpants]

Anyone notice that when Seth starts saying something and pauses a little too long, Sandra just looks alarmed until he finishes his sentence 😂

[@gaywizard2000]

She has resting alarmed face!

[@gtaylor6937]

LOVE her in Killing Eve. She's the straight man to a totally crazy psychopath Vilanelle and they KILL it. Best show in years.

[@charleselmore4707]

She's just the best.

[@IneS87M]

SANDRA BIG BRAIN OH

[@rachelselby8786]

Amazing line!
We used to quote this all the time after the movie came out! (We just didn’t have a crazy amount of social media to blast it everywhere)

[@ezzy__3526]

Yeah agree.. she is totally one of the nicest and attentive person in the industry. Loved her as a person. Oh! Sandra Oh!

[@paradelle070]

love that woman sandra oh so much

[@amandawang9150]

MORE OF SANDRA OH PLEASE!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ellenspear50]

I've loved her since seeing Double Happiness. Then Sideways. And I'm sure other work she's done -- she's intelligent funny and touching as an actor.

[@elizaponce9547]

Es simplemente divina, es una mujer super real, q carisma tan lindo q tiene...es increible...!!! I love Sandra 😍😍

[@MagicTimeTravel]

it's the way she's genuinely alarmed at 0:35 when he's like 'not that i would know' omg what an angel

[@PerezRuthie]

Love her always ✨

[@lincimpi1337]

Plot twist!!!! Princess Diaries 3 Vice Principal Gupta is the queen 😂😂😂

[@SunnyGoesIn1D]

I wait for the day when I get tired of Sandra Oh. I don’t see it coming any time soon.

[@msty_wtrs]

Dude Sandra Oh would be amazing as a doctors companion

[@mashakalinkina7207]

Love her!

[@millaeunsol]

Just love her

[@sweekruthi9969]

my queen!!

[@camilledepalo1042]

You are an awesome talent Sandra Oh! Gorgeous and cool name!

[@sophienugre4161]

That dog in that tiktok clip is super chill.

[@djkatiec]

Every millennial knows that line haha it's so good

[@MultiCowgirl22]

The Queen is coming :) I miss Princess Diaries!!! My early teen years 😍

[@vkddo]

Te amo, Sandra Oh!!!

[@PeteHowlett]

Sandra is such a cool actor!

[@joesikic6531]

So far I've only seen Sandra Oh on Saturday night live. She was funny as f@ck. Gonna look up her other works. You rock, Sandra Oh

[@ruoweilim7334]

i love her

[@paulaokafor2342]

Queen Sandra Oh

[@NewMessage]

Well now she needs to make a vid of her answering her sister's cat.

[@brittanijohnson8661]

Omg that would be genius

[@mrtrailesafety]

For every hierarchy there’s a low-archy.

[@ArcticFalcon]

No.
There's byeerarchy

[@dianewillson3261]

Very talented women

[@LightnessofJoy]

She was so good in Sideways

[@JonBlondell]

OMG, the 15 second weirdo! It's true!

[@tamiba856]

I didn’t understand what they mean by that.

[@bloodmanor8]

@@tamiba856 I think they meant they are talking with a friend or someone they haven't seen in a while, then a fan comes over and interrupts. Even at award shows with mostly celebrities.

[@rumademedoit]

she needs to win the next time she is nominated. pheobe waller bridge needs to give Eve something crazy in season 4 so Sandra can give an amazing performance

[@artespinturaanaestrela2607]

❣

[@XHobbiesPrime]

Great now I have to go watch Tik Tok vids.

[@Val-lj5wr]

Sandra bby I love you

[@novacorps2468]

Tishy got that good goo goo

[@mitchell8003]

Something tells me Ricky Gervais doesn't abide to this "hierarchy".

[@deadpanfish]

Beauty face filter Seth

[@why-even-try-brotendo]

Jack Nicholson is the king of egoing his way into other people's achievements. He did it to Phil Jackson after the Bulls won their first championship and Jennifer Lawrence after she won an Oscar. Both documented on TH-cam.

[@BiNzUcOoL]

is it just me or does Sandra look skeptical every time Seth speaks like he s going to say something stupid

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

Why do her eyes look soooo different?

[@somethnew]

status shifts

[@ladygaga8293]

SANDRA OH AND LADY GAGA COLLAB

[@babarazamsucks]

I am the firs

[@thomasdequincey5811]

This sounds like her hang up to me. It hasn't got anything to do with "award show hierarchies.

[@yeungeddie]

DUA LIPA HAS A NEW SONG OUT 🔥🔥🔥

[@foellerd]

Bleh

[@brucelee6815]

Does anyone care about this

[@CumulusSkies]

Love her!!!

[@pamr4040]
