Uzo Aduba took home the Emmy for supporting actress in a drama series for her performance in Orange Is the New Black at Sunday night’s ceremony.
“If I could say thank you a thousand times it could not be enough for how I feel,” she said of the show’s creator, Jenji Kohan. “Thank you for creating a platform. I love you so much. I appreciate you for putting belief back in my heart.”
