If you were expecting Sandra Oh to fly into an Eve Polastri-like rage at last year's Emmys, think again. While the actor did jump out of her chair when Gwyneth Paltrow announced Jodie Comer as the winner, it was to give Comer a heartfelt hug (via HuffPost). "What a nice, genuine moment between Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer," posted Variety's Elizabeth Wagmeister (via Twitter). She added, "so nice to see women supporting women." Comer returned the love, letting Oh know how much she appreciated her before taking the stage. "I just didn't expect it," Comer admitted to Entertainment Tonight. "The women in that category are so phenomenal, and I felt very lucky to be there."
In truth, these two female leads have had an undeniable connection from the beginning. "When we first met and had our first read together, I knew we had good chemistry," Oh observed (via Daily Mail). "I could just tell because of the way we were listening together and I could actually feel the way we were reacting to each other." The duo are often seen holding hands and hugging (via PopSugar), and Oh even brought Comer as her date to the 2019 Golden Globes (via Yahoo! Entertainment). It was there she made history as the first person of Asian descent to host the show and also win multiple Globes, clinching her second one that year for her role in Killing Eve (via The Atlantic).
"Jodie and I have a profound relationship," Oh noted earlier this year (via The Sun). "At this point, having done three seasons, we trust each other when the magic is happening. That's how we work it."
