'Shogun,' 'The Bear' lead Emmy nominees

"The Bear" went on a tear at Wednesday morning's Emmy nominations with a comedy-series record 23, and "Shogun" led all nominees with 25 in a dominant year across categories for FX.

Nominations for the "The Bear," up for its second season in which its rag-tag band of sandwich makers tries to create an elite restaurant, included best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series for Jeremy Allen White-both awards it won at January's strike-delayed ceremony-along with best actress for Ayo Edebiri, who won best supporting actress last time around.

It was also boosted by a bounty of guest acting nominations, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman, two of many Oscar winners who landed nominations.

"Shogun" took full advantage of the absence of last year's top three nominees "Succession," "The White Lotus" and "The Last of Us" - to dominate in drama and give FX, with 93 overall nominations, the kind of strong year often reserved for HBO, which even in this "off" year received 91.

Its nominations included best drama series, best actress in a drama series for Anna Sawai and best actor for Hiroyuki Sanada.
