    Uzo Uduba Creative Arts Emmy Awards Makeup

    /

    Orange is the New Black star Uzo Aduba was one of Saturday’s biggest winners at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. She nabbed “Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” for the uber-popular Netflix series (I kid you not, this whole “guest actress” business is throwing me for a loop though).
