Sandra Oh’s parents steal the show at the Emmys

IN A room full of Hollywood’s biggest stars, it was two people who we’d never heard of before today that managed to steal the show.

IN A room full of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities, it was a couple whose name we’d never heard before who appear to have completely stolen the show.

While Outstanding Lead actor in a Drama Series nominee Sandra Oh — the first Asian woman in history to get a nod in that category — was always going to be one of the brightest stars at this year’s Emmy Awards, it was her proud mum and dad beaming alongside her that really captured the hearts of everyone at home.

They were introduced as “Mr and Mrs Oh”.

The beaming couple were proud as punch of their daughter.

Before entering LA’s Microsoft Theater, Mr and Mrs Oh were grabbed for a quick chat on the red carpet, where they gushed about being “so proud” of their famous daughter.

Her mum pulled her in for a kiss during a red carpet interview.

Inside, every time the camera swept past their row, the pair was seen smiling from ear to ear as they basked in the glow of their daughter’s big night — and look, the whole thing was just too pure for words.
