The 76th Emmy Awards felt a little like an afterthought. The event, hosted by blandly amusing father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, was heavily overshadowed — not just by last year’s far more engaging ceremony , which aired in January, but also by the oft-overlooked Creative Arts Emmys, at which “Shogun” broke records. A full week before the prime-time Emmys began, the drama based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel had notched an astounding 14 wins for categories including best guest actor in a drama series (that went to Néstor Carbonell), main title design and casting.
The series from Disney’s FX beat the record for most wins for a single season of television (previously held by “John Adams”) and the record for most wins by a series in its first season. (That briefly belonged to “The Bear.” ).
