Shōgun made history at the 2024 Emmys. The historical drama, which premiered this past February, took home a record-breaking 18 awards, the most won by any one season of TV.
The series took home gongs for Best Drama Series, as well as for Directing, Lead Actress for Anna Sawai, Lead Actor for Hiroyuki Sanada, and Guest Actor for Néstor Carbonell. Plus, it received technical nods in the Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Picture Editing, Cinematography, Period Costumes, Main Title Design, Production Design, Prosthetic Makeup, Stunt Performance, Casting for a Drama, Special Visual Effects, Period/Fantasy Makeup, and Period/Fantasy Hairstyling categories.
A hit with critics and viewers alike, our own Shōgun review called the FX show, which is streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK, "an engaging tale of duty, political power, and legacy" that "offers up memorable performances from the likes of Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, as well as gorgeous costumes and cinematography."
Elsewhere, The Bear beat its own record by winning the most comedy awards in a single year. The series won Best Comedy Series, and stars Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colón-Zayas, Jon Bernthal, and Jamie Lee Curtis also took home acting gongs.
Prime Video's Fallout TV show, however, only won one award: Music Supervision. Only Murders in the Building also had a disappoitning night, with the comedy-drama going home empty handed despite receving eight nominations.
