Maslany was also nominated for an Emmy last year but Viola Davis took that one home. Will we see a repeat this year? There’s some tough competition for sure in that category this year but I will never stop touting Maslany’s tremendous talent for playing 11 unique characters on BBC America’s Orphan Black.
