Canadian actresses Tatiana Maslany and Sandra Oh have been nominated for Emmy Awards.

The two are both up for best actress in a drama series.

Maslany is nominated for playing multiple clones on “Orphan Black,” which aired its final season on Space last year.

Ottawa-raised Oh is a contender for playing a secret service operative on BBC America’s “Killing Eve,” which debuts in Canada on July 22 on Bravo.

Maslany won an Emmy for her role on “Orphan Black” in 2016.

Oh was previously nominated for five Emmys for “Grey’s Anatomy,” in which she played Dr. Cristina Yang for 10 seasons.

“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” hosted by the titular Toronto-born comedian, also received a nod for Outstandin­g Variety Talk Series.

Bee is also nominated for outstandin­g writing in a variety series where two other Canadians are recognized, including Montreal’s Barry Julien, one of the writers on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” and Lorne Michaels of “Saturday Night Live.”

Martin Short, who grew up in Hamilton, is nominated along with collaborat­or Steve Martin for outstandin­g writing in a variety special for Netflix’s “Steve Martin & Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life.”
