Uzo Aduba took home an Emmy Saturday night for her role as Susan “Crazy Eyes” Warren on Netflix's hit series Orange is The New Black. Aduba won for outstanding guest actress in a comedy in one of the category's stiffest years of competition. She not only beat out OITNB costars, Laverne Cox and Natasha Lyonne, but also Tina Fey and Melissa McCarthy for their Saturday Night Live appearances, as well as Joan Cuasck for her role on Shameless. "I feel so full, that’s why the tears come out,” said Aduba. "I’m stuffed. My cup runneth over right now.” In total, OITNB won seven awards at the Creative Arts Emmy. The Primetime Emmy's will be held August 25.
