"Oh my God. I really, truly do not know what to say," she said, fighting back tears. "I just wanna say thank you so much to the Screen Actors Guild for this incredible honor. I want to thank Jenji Kohan for writing a show like this and putting something like this on television, not just for myself but for our incredible team of actors to be seen in such a beautiful way. "
OITNB also won outstanding ensemble in a comedy, while the top outstanding ensemble in a drama award went to ITV and PBS's Downton Abbey.
