Uzo Aduba Wins Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Because I had been hearing “No, no, thank you, but no”, since trying this medium.

A second Emmy is just as sweet for Uzo Aduba! Wearing a two-tone dress from designer Jonathan Cohen, she gave an emotional speech thanking both her sister Chioma and OITNB creator Jenji Kohan. I appreciate you for putting belief back in my heart.

If you missed the ceremony, check out Aduba’s speech below, but realize you’ll probably end up sobbing on the phone to your sister.

Last year, the actress grabbed the award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, but she’s now been upgraded to Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the annual awards.

“Orange is the New Black” stars are having a spectacular time this year. If you can’t watch the show on Fox, make sure you’re following us on social media to stay up to the minute with everything from the Emmys.

I cheered along with Henson when she showed a heartwarming display of sisterhood and camaraderie along with a congratulatory hug. “I can feel it right here behind me, beside me even, and so every time – today I just started thinking, I was like, this is unbelievable”.

All we have to say – thank you, Uzo Aduba, for making us all ugly cry with joy over your speech.

Aduba says she will place her new trophy proudly on a shelf in her home in New York.
