Last year, Davis became the first African American to win this award, prevailing on her first-ever Emmy bid. She plays Annalise Keating, a law professor and criminal defense attorney in Philadelphia. According to the official ABC listing for her episode submission: “The Keating 5 are called into questioning by A.D.A Denver about the night Emily Sinclair was murdered. Meanwhile, Caleb goes missing as the manhunt for Philip intensifies. In flashback, Annalise’s tactics in the Mahoney case leads to a devastating result.”

Maslany was also a first-time nominee in 2015. She plays a variety of clones on the sci-fi program, including Sarah, Alison, Cosima, Helena, Rachel, M.K., and Krystal. According to the BBC America listing for her episode: “Sarah regresses to old habits while struggling to cope with the consequences of her decisions — reconnecting with Beth on a dark night of the soul. Back at the lab, Cosima, haunted by vicious memories and news of Delphine, attempts a dangerous Hail Mary to find a cure.”
