1. This is Emmy News from August, Uzo Aduba also won her second consecutive SAG Award for in the same

category Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series last night. She has also won two Emmy Awards for playing Suzanne on Orange is the New Black and she is just the second actor in all history to win that award for the same role in both drama and comedy categories. The other was Ed Asner as Lou Grant.

Uzo, whom I adore without reservation, was also very brilliant and shiny in The Wiz Live recently as Glenda the Good. She's got amazing range and skills that do not stop. Her first TV gig was in 2012 and look at her now.

3. But you gave me the chance to talk about her and I like to talk about her.

Did you see The Wiz Live? She was so good. Her speech last night was inspiring as is her string of accolades so swiftly won and well deserved. Her work on OITNB is outstanding among a cast that is crowded with excellence.
