Fans are up in arms saying 'Orphan Black' actress Tatiana Maslany was robbed at the Emmys

The 67th annual Emmys were a huge night for actress Tatiana Maslany.

The "Orphan Black" actress was nominated for her first ever Emmy for her role on the BBC series. 

That's a big deal. 

The series, which recently ended its third season, follows Sarah (Maslany) after she learns she's one of a series of clones. 

As a result, Maslany plays not one character, but each and every one of her clones which appears on the show, all of whom are remarkably unique. 

Some of the characters include soccer mom, Alison Hendrix ...

... and the quirky blonde Helena who is Sarah's twin.

After years of playing multiple characters on screen, the actress went devoid of any Emmy nomination, leading the show's fan following, the Clone Club, to call out the awards show for snubbing Maslany.

So when Maslany received her first nomination this year, you can bet the Clone Club was very ecstatic.  

Many were rooting for her to win Sunday evening.

So it's no surprise that many were upset when the young actress didn't win the award. Many claimed she was robbed.http://teena-saurus-rex.tumblr.com/post/129541212547/tatiana-was-robbed

Instead, the award went to Viola Davis for her phenomenal turn on ABC's "How to Get Away with Murder."

But seriously, who could be upset after watching that beautiful speech by Viola Davis?
