BBC America’s Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany earned her first Primetime Emmy Award win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Her multi-character performance as fourteen different clones to date is also the first win for the channel’s original series. The Emmy rounds out a list of accolades for the star including two Critics’ Choice Awards, a Television Critics Association and Young Hollywood Award as well as Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations. Orphan Black has also earned a Peabody Award.
Sarah Barnett, BBC America President, commented, "Tatiana Maslany is a phenomenal talent, we are so happy to see her get this amazing recognition from The Academy. BBCA warmly salutes the entire brilliant team behind Orphan Black. And we have no doubt the clone club - Orphan Black's extraordinary fans - will be out in force celebrating their beloved show."
