LOS ANGELES — Uzo Aduba is an Emmy winner for her breakout role as a prisoner known as “Crazy Eyes” in Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black.”<\/p>\n

The series received two other awards, for casting and picture editing, at the creative arts Emmy ceremony Saturday honoring technical and other achievements.<\/p>\n

In an emotional speech, Aduba thanked her mother, who came from Nigeria “to make a better life for her family.”<\/p>\n

She also thanked producers and others for a show “that lets everyone be represented in such a beautiful way.”<\/p>\n

Aduba won as best guest actress in a comedy series for her portrayal of Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren, while Jimmy Fallon was honored as best guest comedy actor for NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”<\/p>\n

On the drama side, guest-acting honors went to Joe Morton for ABC’s “Scandal” and Allison Janney for Showtime’s “Masters of Sex.”<\/p>\n

Janney thanked producers, co-stars and writers on the series, then added one more person: “The crew guy who got me a shot of bourbon before my first sex scene was extraordinarily important to me,” she said.<\/p>\n

Zach Galifianakis’ interview with President Barack Obama last March on the actor-comedian’s “Between Two Ferns” show on the Funny or Die website won the Emmy for best short-format, live-action entertainment program.<\/p>\n

Awards in other acting, writing and directing categories will be given at the Aug. 25 ceremony airing on NBC. Janney has a shot at another Emmy for her role in the CBS sitcom “Mom.”<\/p>\n

The biggest awards haul Saturday went to NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” with five trophies. Fox’s “Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey,” a 21st-century edition of the 1980s series “Cosmos,” earned four. Cable dramas “Game of Thrones” and “True Detective” and PBS’ “Sherlock: His Last Vow” also picked up a quartet of honors each.<\/p>\n
