Finally, Emmy Recognition For Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany

At the 68th Annual Emmy Awards that aired earlier tonight, fellow Canadian Keifer Sutherland presented Maslaney with the the long-overdue Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama. Maslaney was nominated for the first time last year, answering the prayers of many fans of the BBC America show that films in Toronto. She beat out Claire Danes, Taraji P. Henson, Keri Russell, Robin Wright and last year's winner, Viola Davis. In her speech Maslany said, "I feel so lucky to be on a show that puts women at the center." Next season will be the fifth and final one for the show.
