FX¡¯s sweeping historical drama ¡°Shogun¡± was already riding high with record-breaking wins from the week prior when the Emmys kicked off on Sunday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Last weekend, ¡°Shogun¡± swept the Creative Arts Emmys, making history by claiming 14 awards and setting a record for the most Emmy wins by a show in a single year. The previous record holder was ¡°Game of Thrones¡± with 12 wins in 2015.
Daniel Levy, who co-hosted the Sunday night show with his father Eugene, noted the milestone during the opening segment, saying, "We haven't even given out a single award tonight, and yet ¡®Shogun¡¯ has already made Emmy history.¡± As the night went on, ¡°Shogun¡± secured four more wins: Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai for lead actor and actress in a drama series, respectively; Frederick E.O. Toye for directing; and outstanding drama series.
