And rightfully so!
Tatiana Maslany FINALLY got nominated for an Emmy and it’s all we’ve been waiting for since her BBC America sci-fi show, Orphan Black, premiered in 2013.
She’s been snubbed by the Television Academy for the past two years, which totally enraged members of the Clone Club, the cute name bestowed on the faithful fans of the show.

The 29-year-old has played not one, not two, but at least TEN different characters over the course of the series, and what’s astounding is how incredibly different each one is.
The actress plays clones with different backstories, sexual orientations, gender identities, and her acting is SO awesome that viewers constantly have to remind themselves that each character is played by the same person.
But it seems they don’t need to plead with the Academy anymore, because, at long last, Tatiana’s incredible work has earned her an nod!
And, she’s totally over the moon! Tati adorably reacted to the news by using Twitter to thank her loyal followers for supporting her show:
#CloneClub & #clonesbians, this bud’s for you. Thanks buddies 🙂

What’s even cuter is that she’s super happy for the other nominees! She also retweeted Amy Schumer‘s celebratory snapshot for her four nominations!
Turns out the comedian was equally as happy for Tatiana, tweeting:
@tatianamaslany ahhhhhhh!!! #notsnubbed

Plus, OB fans are FREAKING at the long overdue recognition! Ch-ch-check out their perfect reactions (below)!
