Tatiana Maslany finally won her Emmy for Orphan Black!

I'm honestly so proud of her, so incredibly proud. Not only does she rightfully deserve this award for all the hard work she has put into the show with her performance portraying the variety of the different clones, but Orphan Black as a whole deserves this kind of recognition. Genre television hardly ever gets acknowledged by the Academy and this was just a little Canadian science fiction show that aired on BBC America. While we all wanted and wished ever since the first season that Tatiana deserved all the awards for her impeccable talent and acting skills, just the fact that she was nominated last year was enough. And now she finally won an Emmy! I know that winning awards aren't everything (as evident that there are so many amazing shows out there, past and present, that hardly got any kind of consideration) and that the love and support of the fanbase is rewarding enough, but even so it still feels so good nonetheless. It's been a long time coming, that's for sure.

Orphan Black in general is a wonderful little science fiction show that has brilliant writing, amazing acting (and not just by Tatiana herself) and strong representation of telling women stories, the fact that the show finally got this recognition makes me very happy, indeed.

Other highlights from last night include Rami Malek winning for Mr. Robot, and the Stranger Things children being adorable little cupcakes. ♥ ♥ ♥

And it only took four seasons to get to this point!

But seriously, talk about someone who deserved it :D Nominations are nice and all nods, but there's a league of difference between nominations and winning.

I mean she's won other awards for the show prior to this, but there is definitely something about getting an Emmy for a little genre show that literally nobody knew about that is so rewarding and validating. And for someone like Tatiana who puts her heart and soul into her work and remains humble while doing so, she is more than deserving of finally being recognized by the Academy. :)
