SHOGUN WINS 11 EMMY AWARDS
Top nominee “Shogun” won a whopping 11 awards Sunday night at the Creative Arts Emmys, and had shots at many more before the night was up.
The steady stream of wins came from 25 total nominations the show got between Sunday's creative arts ceremony that honored mostly behind-the-scenes crew members and the main Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 15, airing on ABC.
“Shogun," the FX show about political machinations in feudal Japan, won in categories including costumes, makeup, its editing and stunt work, along with a best guest actor in a drama Emmy for Néstor Carbonell.
Presenters were saying “Shogun” all night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on the second night of the two-night Creative Arts Emmys, where awards that don’t quite make the main Primetime Emmys ceremony are handed out. It broke the record of 13 set by the 2008 limited series “John Adams” before even reaching the Sept. 15 main Emmys ceremony, when it can pad its record with up to five more.
“Shogun,” the FX series about political machinations in feudal Japan, won all but two of the possible 16 trophies it could have claimed on Sunday night, including Emmys for costumes, makeup, editing, stunts, and cinematography, along with the best guest actor in a drama Emmy for Néstor Carbonell.
