Shogun had historic wins in an epic 18-Emmy first season. ‘Hacks’ scored an upset for best comedy on what was still a four-trophy night for ‘The Bear’ and ‘Baby Reindeer’ had a holiday at the ‘76th Emmy Awards’ that had some surprising swerves.
‘Shogun’, the ‘FX’ series about power struggles in feudal Japan, won the ‘Best Drama Series’ award. Hiroyuki Sanada won the ‘Best Actor in a Drama’ award and Anna Sawai won the ‘Best Actress’ award. Sanada was the first Japanese actor to win an ‘Emmy’, while Sawai became the second just moments later.
“‘Shogun’ taught me when we work together, we can make miracles,” Sanada said in his acceptance speech on the stage of the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Along with 14 ‘Emmys’ that it claimed at the precursor ‘Creative Arts Emmys’, it had an unmatched performance with 18 overall for one season.
‘Hacks’ was the surprise winner of its first ‘Best Comedy Series’ award, topping ‘The Bear’ which most had expected to take after big wins earlier in the evening. Jean Smart won her third ‘Best Actress in a Comedy’ award for the third season of Max’s ‘Hacks’, in which her stand-up comic character Deborah Vance tries to make it on late-night TV. Smart has six ‘Emmys’ overall.
Despite losing out on the night's biggest comedy prize after winning it for its first season at January’s strike-delayed ceremony, FX’s ‘The Bear’ star Jeremy Allen White won the ‘Best Actor in a Comedy’ award for the second straight year and Ebon Moss-Bachrach repeated as ‘Best Supporting Actor’.
Liza Colón-Zayas was the surprise ‘Best Supporting Actor’ winner in a competition that included Meryl Streep, becoming the first Latina to win in the category. “To all the Latinas who are looking at me,” she said, her eyes welling with tears. “Keep believing and vote.”
