“About bloody well time!” were the words on the lips of many BBC America viewers and fans of Orphan Black when the announcement came that, after long last, Tatiana Maslany was finally being nominated as Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the 67th Emmy Awards.

We wish you could hear the screaming in BBC America’s office just after 11:30 a.m. as Tatiana’s name was read… because we could hear you — loud, proud, and online.

I mean, Canada has already given her her own street, for crying out loud!

Her snubs for the nomination the last couple years have come as quite a shock to most anyone who’s seen the show. It’s not that she’s turning in a great performance each episode; it’s that she’s nailing like 10 different characters and counting—in one show! Geeking out actor-wise, it’s amazing to watch her change vocal intonation, accent, countenance, total physicality and on and on. It took me several episodes before it hit me that these different clones I was following were all the same actress—I mean, I knew it going in but completely forgot about it as I was pulled into the various storylines; each character felt so vastly different. That’s acting at it’s finest.

Maslany will now face Claire Danes (Homeland), Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder), Taraji P. Henson (Empire), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) and Robin Wright (House of Cards) in the Lead Actress category this year. Amazing performances from all of them but—and let me be clear—just one each.

I bet Gareth Edwards and the crew working on the Star Wars spin-off under development are kicking themselves if rumors are true that they really have passed over Maslany for the lead. (Here’s hoping, for all our sakes, that it’s not too late to still make it happen.)

BBC America were quick to congratulate their star:

Go #CloneClub!

Its that time of year again, the 67th annual Emmy Nominations have been announced!
Looks like online television is coming in full force this year, with online only shows having multiple contenders in all the top categories. With the additions of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Bloodline, it seems like Netflix is set to give HBO a run for its money. Amazon has also entered the Emmy foray with Transparent also receiving Nominations.
