'Shogun's Record-Shattering Wins at the Emmys Couldn't Be More Deserved

Not unlike the war-torn landscape of feudal Japan, this year's Emmy Awards featured a number of strong contenders vying for the esteemed award. Unfortunately for most of these challengers, it was Shgun, FX's epic historical drama, that utterly dominated this year's award season. Shgun explores the complex political machinations and interpersonal drama of feudal Japan, immersing the viewers through the eyes of a wayward sailor who becomes intertwined in the scheming war for control over the country. Few shows can compare to the holistic excellence of the series; from the historical details of the wardrobe and set design, the emotionally gripping soundtrack, and the utterly engrossing performances from all its actors, Shgun was a titan among television productions. And the enormous dedication of that production received its just dues as Shgun shattered the record of Emmy wins this year, coming out victorious in 18 categories across the Creative Arts and Primetime Awards. While such universal critical acclaim feels nigh impossible to attain, the labors of love and dedication that brought this series to life are evident during every second of the show's runtime, making this one of the most deserving award-season runs in entertainment history.
