An emotional Maslany was among the first to take the podium to claim an acting prize for her chameleon-like turns as several cloned characters in the serialized smash. The dark sci-fi series "Orphan Black" cast a large shadow over the Canadian Screen Awards on Sunday, dominating the bash as it claimed the night's top TV prizes and cemented the ascendency of star Tatiana Maslany as one of Canada's biggest luminaries. On the film side, the music-filled coming-of-age film "Gabrielle" was named best feature film, with its ebullient star Gabrielle Marion-Rivard earning best film actress.
