Uzo Aduba's winning streak is not over.
The Orange Is the New Black star had a strong year last year, bringing home a number of awards for her role as "Crazy Eyes" on the hit Netflix series, and it looks like this year may be her year, too.
Aduba won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama (this is the first year the show switched to drama from comedy), her second consecutive Emmy win, and she didn't even try to hold back the tears.
"I really just want to say thank you a thousand times. If I could say thank you a thousand times, it would not be enough to cover the amount of thanks I feel for you, Jenji Kohan. I love you so much," Aduba began.
"I thank you for putting belief back in my heart. Thanks for making the show, creating the platform. Thank you to our family at Netflix and Lionsgate. You are incredible. I love you so much for your kindness."
After a list of more thank-yous, the actress concluded with, "I love you guys and I'm so thankful to stand beside a set of artists who are so brilliant. I want to say thank you to our team, my team that I work with...you guys are incredible and I love youmostly because you let me be me.
"And finally, I really just want to say thank you to my family who have stood beside me my entire life. My sister, Chi Chi, you are my very best friend. I am humbled to call myself your sister. I love you so much. Thank you to the academy. Thank you to our fellow actors. Just thank you very much. God bless you."

DeleteHappy for her but I really dunno aw she merited d award Sha. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMumu, how many of her films have you watched?
DeleteMy movie!
ReplyDeleteShe sure's a good actress.
Btw...d season3 of OITNB was a tad boring.
Not much girl on girl scenes asides that amateurish opening between Alex and piper.
Very boring abeg. Devious maids has d worst season 3 I have ever seen.
DeleteSo that's what you like? Have you tried Gidistoner blog? OITNb is a show not an avenue to feed fantasies like that naw.
DeleteWao, so shes really not crazy (joking).
ReplyDeleteIs season 4 out Yet?
A proud Nigeria, representing us well congrat
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
ReplyDeleteBut why the muscle naa?
ReplyDeleteAt some point I thought she was transgender. Or is she a boxer?
DeleteShe is/was an athlete... Attended Boston Uni on athletic scholarship.
DeleteMost actors especially female, are encouraged to 'tone the arms' for these awards. It just so happens that Uzo bulks up easily at the gym because she has healthy tendons and muscles. Kudos to her.
DeleteThank you Jesus, thank you stella..hard work pays well done.
ReplyDeleteTears of joy!
ReplyDeleteCrazy eyes. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big achievement. Congrats to her.
ReplyDeletePls what's the meaning of Netflix, I searched Google didn't give me a reasonable answer.
Netflix is an Independent network that screens certain movies and shows that are contracted to them. Just like AmazonPrimeTimeTV. It's only available in the U.S to the best of my knowledge

Tears rolled out my eyes when the first black woman won an award (not Uzo). Her words really encouraged me.

DeleteYeah, Viola Davis - First black woman to win the Emmy Award for 'Lead Actress in a Drama Series'.
DeleteShe blew me away with her portrayal of the 'Annalise Keating' character in How To Get Away With Murder'.
