With 23 nominations, “The Bear” broke the previous record in the comedy category, besting “Only Murders in the Building,” which had 21 nominations. “True Detective: Night Country,” starring Jodie Foster, led the field with 19 nominations in the limited or anthology series category.
The highly regarded drama series “Shogun,” which transports viewers to early 17th-century Japan, has garnered an astounding 25 nominations for the Emmy Awards, dominating the field.
The historical fiction novel by James Clavell served as the inspiration for the television series, which enthralled viewers with its depiction of the complex and lethal court intrigues of feudal Japan.
With 23 nominations, “The Bear” broke the previous record in the comedy category, besting “Only Murders in the Building,” which had 21 nominations. “True Detective: Night Country,” starring Jodie Foster, led the field with 19 nominations in the limited or anthology series category.
Nominees were revealed in a live-streamed ceremony from Los Angeles. Final-round voting for the 76th Emmy Awards will take place next month, with the ceremony scheduled for September 15.
“Shogun” received widespread acclaim for its remarkable cast of Japanese heroes and villains, despite its heavy use of subtitles. Lead actress Anna Sawai and lead actor Hiroyuki Sanada, both nominated, expressed their gratitude for the recognition. “It was a great opportunity to share our culture with the world. I hope this will be a stepping stone for the next generation,” Sanada said in an e-mailed statement to AFP.
While “Shogun” is a favorite across this year’s drama categories, it faces stiff competition from the final season of Netflix’s “The Crown” and Apple’s “The Morning Show,” starring Jennifer Aniston. Despite its numerous nominations, “Shogun” surprisingly did not secure a nod for Cosmo Jarvis, who portrayed the marooned English sailor framing the show’s narrative.
With two more seasons already in development, “Shogun” continues to be a powerful contender in the television landscape, showcasing the rich and complex history of Japan while breaking new ground in the industry.
