On Monday night during the Governor's Ball, "Orange Is the New Black" actress Lea DeLaria slammed the Emmys for lacking a "dramedy" category, Mashable reports.

Although "OITNB" undoubtedly has its fans in stitches from season to season, it also incorporates a captivating and dramatic storyline that has caused an inconsistency in categories that the show is nominated for.

This year, "OITNB" was nominated as a drama at The Golden Globes and then later nominated as a comedy for the Emmys. "OITNB" then lost to "Modern Family" in the Emmys comedy category -- a defeat that Mashable and DeLaria suggest could have been reversed if the Emmy academy included a category for television "dramedies."

"I will say this, the Academy needs to grab a clue and get a category for dramedy," DeLaria told Mashable. "This has been going on for too long."

DeLaria continued her point by throwing jabs at the Emmy's inclusion of a reality-TV category.

"They have a category for f-cking reality television -- pardon my 'f-ck' -- but they don't have a category for dramedy, which has been on American television longer than reality television," she continued. "That seems wrong to me, and we wouldn't have these issues about 'You're nominated in the wrong category. You're nominated in the right category.'"

Despite DeLaria's ill feeling towards the Emmy's categories, the comedienne praised "Modern Family" for its comedy win and chalked up "OITNB's" loss to it being a relatively new show.

"We're the new kids on the block; it will take some time for them to get used to us," she said. "We'll see what happens next year."

DeLaria also aims to change the stereotype of what it means to be a "butch" lesbian in Hollywood. 

During an interview with the Independent, DeLaria discussed the lack of what she calls "butch lesbian" representation.

"There was a stage when being a lipstick lesbian was hot, but that wasn't me," she explained to the Independent. "I walked my own path. Hollywood said that I needed to go along that lipstick route if I wanted a job. They never said, 'put on a dress,' but they wanted a soft butch and that's not me.

DeLaria later discussed her beliefs in putting a "positive face" on what it means to be a "butch lesbian."

"Being butch is still a dirty little secret, but it's how some of us are," she added. "We can't forget where we came from. We need to put a positive face on it and it all comes from this international homophobia, that are only certain things are good; that you can't be that type of lesbian. It's important for me to communicate that there's nothing bad about being gay."
