Historical drama television series Shogun has won a whopping 14 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys. Login or signup to continue reading The steady stream of wins came during the creative arts ceremony that honoured mostly behind-the-scenes crew members and the main Primetime Emmy Awards on September 15. Shogun, the FX series about political machinations in feudal Japan, won 14 of the 16 trophies it could have claimed on Sunday night, including Emmys for costumes, makeup, editing, stunts and cinematography, along with a best guest actor in a drama Emmy for Nestor Carbonell.
The show's cast includes New Zealand actor Anna Sawai. As he accepted, Carbonell thanked the crew, then marvelled at how many of them were in the audience. "You're all here! You're all nominated!" Carbonell said.
"I love the team sport of this." The hefty total for Shogun, acclaimed by critics and embraced by audiences, may be a harbinger of a big night for the series when Dan and Eugene Levy host the main Emmys at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. The Bear, the top nominee in the comedy categories with 23, won four times, including Emmys for best guest actor for Jon Bernthal and best guest actress for Jamie Lee Curtis.
Curtis was emotional on stage after winning her first Emmy, 18 months after winning her first Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Curtis won for the season two Bear episode Fishes, in which she played the mother of star Jeremy Allen White at a nightmare holiday family gathering. "I'm the luckiest girl in the world," she said backstage.
"I just never thought I would get to do work at this level of depth and complexity and intelligence. It's been the thrill of my creative life these last couple of years." Michaela Coel won best guest actress in a comedy series for her appearance on Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. While Sunday night's Creative Arts ceremony focused on scripted work, on Saturday night Emmys were handed out for reality and variety television.
Maya Rudolph and Angela Bassett were among Saturday night's winners. Rudolph won her sixth career Emmy, for her voice-over work on the animated Big Mouth. Bassett won her first, for her narration of the National Geographic wildlife documentary series Queens.
