As I stand in awe of the extraordinary accomplishment of Shōgun, I find myself drawn to its triumphant tale of cross-cultural collaboration and artistic excellence. The sheer magnitude of its 18 Emmy Awards is astounding, breaking records that once seemed untouchable.
They said no one would ever say jidai-geki on the Emmys telecast, but they were wrong! Shōgun won 18 Emmy Awards for its first season — including Outstanding Drama Series. The Japan-American-Canadian collab has broken the record for most Emmy wins for one season of television. The previous record holder, HBO’s miniseries John Adams, had 13 wins. Shōgun already had Giamatti & Co. beat last weekend at the Creative Arts Emmys. During the prime-time Emmys on September 15, the show added Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Drama Series.
During her acceptance speech for the Outstanding Lead Actress award, Anna Sawai revealed she was already in tears before her name was called. She attributed her ability to play the stoic character Mariko-sama to the resilience taught by her mother. Hiroyuki Sanada, in accepting the Outstanding Drama Series award, spoke partly in Japanese, reflecting the multicultural essence of the series. The show’s core revolved around translation and interpretation, not just thematically but also logistically. Co-creator and showrunner Justin Marks served as a translator for Sanada, saying: “We are incredibly grateful to all the crew, directors, and masters who have preserved our samurai era dramas until now. The fervor and aspirations we’ve inherited from you have transcended oceans and borders. Thank you very much.
