Uzo Aduba’s Emmy chances for ‘The Residence’ on Netflix

Emmy voters have loved Uzo Aduba, who brings a special immediacy to comedic and dramatic roles alike, since her breakthrough on Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” in 2013. This year, she’s vying for lead actress in a comedy for her performance as an eccentric gumshoe on the Netflix whodunit “The Residence.”

Given the competition and her show’s cancellation, Aduba often ranks last in her category on Emmy prognosticators’ lists. But when you’ve already persuaded voters three times, you can’t be counted out completely.
