Oh spent 10 seasons on Grey’s Anatomy as Dr. Cristina Yang, but more recently she has been starring in the hit BBC series Killing Eve.
Samberg is most well-known for his time on Saturday Night Live, starring on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and for being part of the comedy-rap trio The Lonely Island.
Both stars have won Golden Globes, but neither have ever hosted the award show before. While Oh does not appear to have any past award show hosting credits, Samberg has hosted both the Independent Spirit Awards and the Emmys.
While it is unclear if Samberg may be nominated in the Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy category, many have speculated that Oh could be nominated for her work on Killing Eve.
