The main Emmy Awards ceremony takes place next weekend, but already FX’s “Shōgun” has broken a major record. The second night of the Creative Arts Emmys, which celebrate the below-the-line categories and guest stars in television, has just taken place with 49 honors handed out. By the end of it, “Shōgun” has already racked up the most Emmy wins for any single season of TV with 14 wins so far.
The show’s biggest win on the first night was for Nestor Carbonell’s work which saw him win Best Guest Actor in a Drama. The other wins for the show (all in the drama categories) are: Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Picture Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Main Title Design, Best Period Costumes, Best Prosthetic Makeup, Best Stunt Performance, Best Casting for a Drama, Best Special Visual Effects, Best Period/Fantasy Makeup, and Best Period/Fantasy Hairstyling. Another big winner was FX’s “The Bear” with 7 awards.
Jon Bernthal and Jamie Lee Curtis took best guest actor and actress in a comedy honors. The series also scored Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Picture Editing and Best Casting in a Comedy. Also winning several was Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer” and “Ripley,” Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” and Apple’s “The Morning Show”.
Michaela Coel’s work in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” won her best guest actress in a drama.
Other winners in smaller tech awards included “Ahsoka” for Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, “Fallout” for Best Music Supervision, “The Idol” for Best Choreography, and the likes of “The Gentlemen,” “Lessons In Chemistry,” “Palm Royale,” “American Horror Story: Delicate,” “The Eric Andre Show”, “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,” “How I Met Your Father” and “Quiz Lady”. Though it dominated tonight, will the success be repeated at the main ceremony next week? HBO’s “The Last of Us” dominated the Creative Arts Emmy awards night last year with the most wins of the night with eight awards, but failed to take any on the main night due to “Succession” snagging all the drama awards.
“Shōgun” has nominations in six categories in next week’s main ceremony, but it is expected to take many of those..
