"It's completely surreal to imagine that this show, after the past five, six years, is a show that so many people got recognized for," co-creator Justin Marks told the Hollywood Reporter. "Because we were just trying to survive it, all of us together, and trying to figure out how to make it - there wasn't really a mold for this." This highlights the resilience and creativity behind producing 'Shogun' and its significance in the industry.
The series is favourite to win more awards this Sunday, which could see historic wins for actors at a ceremony that has not tended to award performers of Asian descent. This is significant as the TV academy needs to address diversity and representation, especially after January's historic win for Ali Wong.
Leading the nominations is Shogun with 25, the long-gestating historical epic becoming the first Japanese-language show to receive a nomination for best drama series and only the second non-English-language show after Squid Game. Its recognition symbolizes a shift in the industry's perception of diverse storytelling.
