Not only is Shōgun FX’s most watched series ever (based on global hours streamed), but the hit show just made history with the announcement of the 76th Emmy Awards nominations! Shōgun was nominated for a staggering 25 awards, the most for any show.
The Japanese period series garnered nominations for the Emmy’s most prestigious categories including Outstanding Drama Series (following Squid Game, this is only the second non-English show to be nominated), Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
“The nominations amounted to a sweeping set of firsts, as all of the honored Japanese castmembers are first-time nominees on an individual basis, and most are also the very first Japanese nominees in their respective categories in Emmys history,” The Hollywood Reporter reports. “Previously, only Japanese actor Masi Oka, nominated for outstanding supporting actor for Heroes in 2007, had received a drama series nod from the Television Academy.”
This is what happens when Asian creatives and talent are given an opportunity to shine.
The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled for September 15.
