Time's 100 most influential people of 2019 features a tribute to Sandra Oh from Shonda Rhimes

TIME

The Killing Eve star, labeled a "pioneer" in this year's Time 100, joined Gayle King and Dwayne Johnson as Time 100 cover stars. "One of the greatest gifts of my creative life has been the opportunity to write words to be spoken by Sandra Oh," Grey's Anatomy creator Rhimes writes of Oh. "The reason is simple: Sandra Oh is a virtuoso. She treats dialogue like notes of music—every word must be played, every syllable correctly toned. She’s always been an extraordinary actor. Her body of work makes that clear. Ten years of playing Dr. Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy made her place in the acting landscape undeniable. Her award-winning turn as Killing Eve’s Eve Polastri makes her legendary." This year's Time 100 list also includes Chrissy Teigen, Indya Moore, Hasan Minhaj (with a tribute from Trevor Noah), Samin Nosrat, Emilia Clarke, Regina King, Joanna and Chip Gaines, Mahershala Ali, Rami Malek, dream hampton, Richard Madden and Ryan Murphy.
