‘Shogun’ breaks record with 14 Emmys, Jamie Lee Curtis wins first
Newslooks – LOS ANGELES (AP) —
The FX series “Shogun” made Emmy history by winning 14 awards at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday, setting a new record for the most Emmys ever won by a single season of television. The previous record of 13, held by the 2008 series “John Adams,” was surpassed ahead of the main Primetime Emmys ceremony on Sept. 15, where “Shogun” could add to its tally with five more nominations.
The series, set in feudal Japan, dominated the night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, winning Emmys for costumes, makeup, editing, stunts, and cinematography. Néstor Carbonell also won for best guest actor in a drama series.
Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis took home her first Emmy for best guest actress in a comedy series for her role in “The Bear.” Curtis, who won her first Oscar just 18 months ago, expressed her gratitude backstage, calling herself “the luckiest girl in the world.”
“Shogun” became the standout of the night, with only two losses out of its 16 total nominations. Other notable winners included Jon Bernthal, who won best guest actor in a comedy series for “The Bear,” and Michaela Coel, who was honored for her guest appearance on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
The night’s winners will be part of a two-night event edited into a special airing on FXX on Sept. 14 and streaming the next day on Hulu. The Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Dan and Eugene Levy, will follow on Sept. 15 on ABC.
