"Quiz Lady" stars Akwafina, Sandra Oh, Will Ferrell, Jason Schwartzman, Paul Reubens, and many more. The film, which is available on Hulu, focuses on Akwafina's character Anne Yum's journey to Philadelphia to appear on a "Jeopardy!"-like program, hosted by Ferrell's character, with her ne'er-do-well sister, played by Oh.
D'Angelo told ScriptMag.com in May that the movie was loosely based on her brother, who she called a "'Jeopardy!' genius."
Saturday's win marks D'Angelo's first Emmy nomination and win.
D'Angelo's other credits include "Hocus Pocus 2," "Totally Killer,""Young Rock," and Workaholics."
