During the two-night event held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, “Shogun” surpassed the previous record of 13 wins set by the limited series “John Adams” in 2008. The series earned accolades in various categories, including costumes, makeup, editing, stunts, and cinematography, in addition to Best Guest Actor in a Drama for Néstor Carbonell.

As “Shogun” has already claimed 14 Creative Arts Emmys, it is poised to possibly extend its record at the main Primetime Emmys on September 15, where it is nominated in 11 more categories. The series, which centers on political intrigue in feudal Japan, has resonated deeply with audiences and critics alike, contributing to its renewal for additional seasons.

Viewers are particularly eager to see if Anna Sawai, who plays Mariko, will win Best Actress. She faces competition from notable actors including Imelda Staunton from “The Crown” and Maya Erksine from “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” The anticipation surrounding Sawai’s nomination is high, especially since she will not reprise her role in any future seasons.

The Creative Arts Emmys also saw Jamie Lee Curtis winning Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in “The Bear.” Curtis expressed her gratitude and excitement for this recognition, highlighting the depth and complexity of the work she has been involved with in recent years.
