Anna Sawai delivered a concise acceptance speech following her triumph at the Golden Globes, earning the accolade for outstanding female actor in a television drama series due to her exceptional portrayal in the FX series “Shogun.
Sawai expressed gratitude to the voters for choosing him, despite his personal preference for Kathy Bates, whom he mentioned as his preferred choice due to her nomination for ‘Matlock’.
Sawai expressed gratitude to our outstanding writers. A great script is essential for us to deliver our best performances. He also thanked everyone else, promising to express his appreciation individually at a later time.
In the series “Shōgun,” Sawai portrays Toda Mariko, a noblewoman who acts as an interpreter between Japanese leader Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) and English sailor John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis). Notably, she outshone Bates (“Matlock”), Emma D’Arcy (“House of the Dragon”), Keira Knightley (“Black Doves”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) and Maya Erskine (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) in her category.
In September, the series “Shōgun” garnered an impressive 18 Emmys during its debut season, surpassing the previous record for the most awards won by a single series within a year. Yūko Takeuchi was recognized as the best lead female actor in a television drama series, marking her as the first Japanese actress to win a Primetime Emmy Award and the first Asian actress to claim victory in that category. The Japanese historical drama also scooped up notable honors at the Golden Globes, with Hiroyuki Sanada winning for best male actor in a drama series, Tadanobu Asano taking home the award for best male supporting actor in a drama series, and the show itself being named as the best TV drama.
Besides her role in “Shōgun,” Sawai gained recognition for appearing in the action-packed racing film “F9” and the drama series “Pachinko” on Apple TV+. Born in New Zealand, she moved to Japan as a child and made her acting debut at age 11, playing the lead role in Nippon TV’s 2004 adaptation of “Annie.
