ORPHAN BLACK actress extraordinare Tatiana Maslany finally got her Emmy nom!
It’s very hard for movies with any basis in science fiction or fantasy to break into the awards circuit, whihc often proves frustrating for fans. Orphan Black fans, in particular, have been rallying for years to see Tatiana Maslany receive an Emmy nom for her incredible work as several Leda clones on the hit show.
Today, the dream came true for campaigning fans as Tatiana finally snagged a nomination for her many roles!
