'Orange Is The New Black' Cast Member Uzo Aduba Takes Home First Emmy Award; Crazy Eyes 'Full Of Joy'

"Orange is the New Black" cast member Uzo Aduba won her first Emmy Award for her portrayal of Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren on the said series, and said she is "full of joy."

The actress took home the Creative Arts Emmy Award for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.

According to Hollywood Reporter, "Orange is the New Black" cast Uzo Aduba was teary-eyed after Morgan Freeman handed her first Emmy statue and said on the podium in acceptance of her award: "I don't know how to say how incredibly impressed I am to be a part of this show day in, day out."

The 33-year-old "Orange is the New Black" cast Uzo Aduba reportedly told press after the 2014 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards program that she was "so full, that's why tears come out. I'm stuffed really. I'm beyond full. My cup runneth over right now. I feel absolutely all of those things: I feel full of joy, like a fountain. Mission accomplished."

When asked about how she felt when she went on stage to collect her trophy, the newcomer said "It's like you're walking and you're aware that you're walking toward Morgan Freeman, but you're fairly certain you should still be sitting on your seat. You're like, 'Maybe I'm embarrassing myself, maybe they didn't call my name, maybe somebody else's name. I don't know what's happening.'"

Uzo Aduba was reportedly "speechless" upon hearing that she had been nominated for an Emmy.

"We worked on this show and spent time together really just trying to tell a great story and invest in each other's performances. It just feels good to know that people love the show as much as we love making it," Aduba said.

She was nominated alongside Laverne Cox and Natasha Lyonne.

In an interview with the Huffington Post in 2013, Aduba said she originally auditioned for a different role but was offered "Crazy Eyes" because the casting director saw her potential for the part.

"And to be honest, when I got the script for it, it felt like the right fit," the actress remarked.
