Time did not include Beyoncé on the list so Sandra had to do her job of making the world’s most influential people pause for a while and listen to how great Beyoncé is.

Women using their platform to elevate other women. HERE FOR IT!!!! 😍😍😍

"Viscerally inspiring... Beyonce shows me what you can create, when you give your all, and you make space for others to do the same."


That is perhaps the best way to describe Homecoming... simply uplifting. <3

[boricuaboye]

I didn’t know Sandra Oh was a preacher!! Cause she was preaching honey!!!

[kbowman]

I love how she spent almost 3 mins talking about Beyoncé, I feel ya girl

[theyoo]

She seems sooo comfortable with speaking in public...DAMN!

[ReyIanBonggo]

Beyoncé saw this and added a clip to her 2019 recap ❤️🐝

I love to see people of Asian descent that are woke. Love Sandra Oh. She was my favorite on Grey's Anatomy for so many reasons.

[laurenjackson]

Sandra Oh appreciates Beyonce like how I love & appreciate Sandra Oh (& Bey of course). I’m a Black woman who has loved Sandra ever since I first saw her on Grey’s. I literally boycotted Grey’s after she left the show... then last month I randomly googled her to see what she’s been up to & I found out she starred in a whole show called Killing Eve! Of course I immediately started streaming the whole first season on Hulu. Of course it was EVERYthing I wanted & more. I’m obsessed with her like how “Villanelle” is obsessed with her. There’s something so true, captivating, honest, & deep about the way Sandra exudes her talent as an actress. Not to mention how freaking gorgeous she is. She’s gorgeous in an unconventional way because we don’t get to see many woman like her in the spotlight. I’m saying as a Black women, seeing this Asian woman take the lead in entertainment, truly does inspire me & I really look up to her. Don’t people understand, when one of us wins, WE ALL WIN. Us minorities aren’t shouting for more opportunities because it’s good for our health. Sandra’s acknowledgement of Beyoncé’s documentary was truly spot-on. She basically just scored herself some front row tickets to Bey’s next concert lol

[MarcosIsABaritone]

THIS IS THE FUTURE AND HOW WE WILL PROGRESS AND WIN. Sisters praising sisters and people of color ratifying people of color. It's about praising ourselves and each other and REALIZING that Rainbow Coalition power and dream. I am here and ready with perfect attendance!

[EyeAmTree]

She literally has people still shook about that performance 5 years later. Every other Coachella came and went but Beychella is a consistent topic. I must rewatch.

[BT-cfoj]

Sandra Oh should be invited to the next Roc Nation Brunch. Yes.... Sandra and Beyoncé #foreverYang

[dalevsmith]

The way she gracefully explained the depth of HOMECOMING & Beyonce was wonderful! She is adorable and so poised!

[jjl]

One artist with incredible work ethic appreciating another with the same quality. Both these women are incredible in their individual crafts. Hard work and sacrifice is something so underrated in this celebrity culture

[bonitaapplebum]

Sandra oh is a prime example of how a POC can be an ally to other POCs. Love her. She's so kind.

[ThatLadyDray]

I was ALREADY a Sandra fan but seeing her be willing to use HER moment to not only acknowledge another woman's work AND is able to realize a celebration of one's culture is NOT an insult to ANY others.... 🙌 YES for THIS 👏👏

[alyxzandriaa]

Preach Sandra. “Bey, I received the transmission” as have i

[keziaouomoye]

Truth, couldn't have said it any better.

[vaugn]

Queens recognizing Queens, I live for it.

[eros.]

Love Sandra 💖💖 i had the same reaction after seeing Homecoming
