The star was most recently given the honor in June 2022, after building her profile in comedy-drama Killing Eve alongside British actress Jodie Comer.
The pair recently competed at the 2022 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for their roles on the series, but lost to Euphoria’s Zendaya.
Sandra, who was born in Canada to Korean parents, has previously garnered Emmy nominations for her role as Dr. Cristina Yang in Shonda Rhimes’ long-running medical series, Grey’s Anatomy. Part of the original cast when it first aired in 2005, she left in 2014.
