The Emmy Awards season has returned with all its glitz and surprises.
This year, the television channel FX, owned by The Walt Disney Company, stood out with 93 nominations driven by two of its productions: the Japanese period drama Shōgun and The Bear.
Shōgun has emerged as the frontrunner of the post-Succession landscape with 25 nominations, including acting nods for Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.
The show has positioned itself as the leading contender in the drama category, considered the Emmy’s most prestigious field. Not only is it FX’s most-watched series ever, but it also benefits from a lack of competition with many smash hits that were delayed due to Hollywood’s writers’ and actors’ strikes, such as Yellowjackets, The White Lotus, Euphoria, and Stranger Things.
