Sandra Oh loved seeing the Korean representation at the SAGawards2022, where two SquidGame stars won in the Drama category 🙌 'I gotta tell you, being at the SAG Awards, I couldn't believe how many Korean people were there.'
Sandra Oh says she was excited by the Korean representation she saw from the Squid Game cast at the 2022 SAG Awards. The Canadian actor was nominated by the Screen Actors Guild for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for The Chair, which released on Netflix in August of last year.
While Oh ultimately lost out to Jean Smart for the HBO series Hacks, the stars of the hit Korean Netflix series Squid Game ultimately fared better. Competing in the Drama Series category, the acclaimed show about a group of down-on-their-luck contestants playing a deadly series of children's games for a life-changing cash prize saw two of its actors take home awards, with Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-yeon victorious in their respective lead categories.
Oh, yes! It was so exciting! I gotta tell you, being at the SAG Awards, I couldn't believe how many Korean people were there. I was like, 'There's a Korean! That's a Korean! That's a Korean!' But you know what... I gotta tell you, you know, being at this game for a long time, that wasn't the case for a long time. So to be able to still be here while it's happening, and witnessing it, is extremely satisfying. [...
The victories for Squid Game were tremendously exciting for the cast as well as the show's fans, and as Oh says, they do seem to be part of a trend of an increasingly global scope at the SAG Awards. This is notably the third consecutive year that Korean actors have been recognized, after the Parasite cast took home the night's biggest prize in 2020 and Youn Yuh-jung won for her supporting turn in Minari last year.
This should not in itself be surprising, as the Korean film and TV industry has a stellar reputation, but Hollywood's growing willingness to recognize international projects outside of foreign-language categories has been an exciting development of the last few years.
