Uzo Aduba wins SAG Award for best TV comedy actress

Uzo Aduba won the Screen Actors Guild Award for best actress in a television comedy series.

It is Aduba’s second consecutive win for playing Suzanne ‘Crazy Eyes’ Warren on Netflix’s ‘Orange is the New Black.’

The cast of ‘Orange is the New Black’ traded in their prison garb for elegant formal wear.

Lori Petty wore a two-piece pink outfit decorated with dangling straps for Saturday’s ceremony. The Netflix series about the lives of inmates at a women’s prison, was nominated in the best television comedy series ensemble category.

Laverne Cox wore a wine-colored dress with a long slit and Laura Prepon donned a luxurious floor-length gown.

The stunt casts of ‘Mad Max-Fury Road’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ received the first Screen Actors Guild Awards bestowed on Saturday.

The honours were announced on the red carpet before the SAG Awards are announced Saturday evening in Los Angeles. The show honours outstanding performances by actors in film and television.

More than 100 stunt performers were honoured for their work on the latest ‘Mad Max’ film.

Nearly three dozen stunt performers will share the television stunt ensemble award for HBO’s fantasy series, ‘Game of Thrones.’

Although the SAG Awards are best known for their film honours, half of the winners announced on Saturday night will be for acting performances on the small screen.

In the top two TV categories, best ensemble in a drama will be decided between ‘Downton Abbey,’ ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Homeland,’ ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Mad Men.’ The comedy side pits ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ ‘Modern Family,’ ‘Key & Peele,’ ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ ‘Transparent’ and ‘Veep.’
