'Orange Is the New Black' Season 3 Cast: Uzo Aduba & Entire Ensemble Win SAG Awards, Break 'Modern Family' Streak [VIDEO]
It was a huge night for Netflix's Orange Is the New Black on Sunday as the Screen Actors Guild proved that they really love the prison comedy-drama.

Orange Is the New Black won both of the awards they were nominated for Sunday night at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, a.k.a. the SAG Awards.
The entire 40-member ensemble won the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, and Uzo Aduba (who plays Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren) won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.
Aduba was very appreciative and teary-eyed in her speech, recalling that the day she received the gig to be on Orange Is the New Black was actually the same day she decided she wanted to quit acting.
"I love you guys so desperately so much. The day I got this job was the day I had stopped acting. And to be in a room with all your amazing talents, for what I respect and love so much, is just the greatest honor."
Notably, the cast of Orange Is the New Black broke the Modern Family streak in the Ensemble category. Modern Family had previously won the category every year since 2010.
Orange Is the New Black was the most successful production of the night, film or television, winning two awards.
Orange Is the New Black is expected to return for season 3 in mid-2015 on Netflix, though the streaming site has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
