Yesterday the 2018 Emmy Award nominations were announced and with them came a monumental nomination for Sandra Oh.

Oh was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work in Killing Eve.

With her nomination, Oh became the FIRST Asian woman nominated in a Lead Actress category!!!
Omg wtf?? This is me hearing about Emmy nom w/ fellow sister @michellekrusiec - my expression is kinda ..what?
Naturally everyone has been SUPER excited, but the group of people that are perhaps most excited are the Grey's Anatomy cast and crew!
Ellen Pompeo tweeted about her Grey's Anatomy person saying, "No one can touch this girl's dedication to story telling or her talent.":
Yes!!! So incredibly happy for @IamSandraOh who deserves this more than anyone..No one can touch this girls dedication to story telling or her talent. https://t.co/ObpaOk0SKe
Justin Chambers tweeted out the historic nomination's Twitter moment further proving that the OG Grey's Anatomy squad is still alive and well:

Kevin McKidd sent some love to his TV ex-wife with this heartfelt tweet:

Shonda Rhimes retweeted Shondaland's sentiment that praised Oh for making history:
Our hearts are also bursting with pride and excitement for Sandra Oh, making history as the first woman of Asian descent to be nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama Series! #Emmys #Shondaland https://t.co/wrTGE8gKBK
And executive producer Krista Vernoff couldn't remain calm like the rest of us:
Sandra Oh! Sandra Oh! Sandra Oh!!!! @IamSandraOh I mean. For f*ckβs sake. This is everything. This is so incredibly well deserved. https://t.co/gVVfjnBpas
And of course, outside of the Grey's Anatomy family, actors across Hollywood have been congratulating Oh and hoping that this is a sign for more representation in both TV and film.
And thatβs why our struggle as Asians in Hollywood is real! Itβs tough to be a lead in anything, let alone getting an Emmy nom! Congrats to Sandra Oh!! She deserves it! And paving the way! #abouttime πππ https://t.co/lFGDlvodsn
