Transparent is the second Amazon show to become an Emmy winner. Earlier this year Amazon Original kids series Tumble Leaf took home five Daytime Emmy wins including Outstanding Preschool Children's Animated Program.

"This has been an incredibly exciting year--with the Golden Globes wins in January and now twelve nominations and five Primetime Emmy wins.

The series stars Tambor as Maura, who has spent her life as Mort--the Pfefferman family patriarch. Also starring Judith Light (Dallas), Gaby Hoffmann (Girls), Amy Landecker (Louie) and Jay Duplass (Togetherness), Transparent is the no. 1 ranked original series on Prime Video since the show's launch.
