shogun looked like a lock for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series ... Then Shogun premiered, the raves were published, and the viewing public began thirsting for more Shogun with all the ferocity of a Portuguese missionary.
The series missed out on some early awards, and it seemed like all the prognosticators ... might have missed the mark and the sumptuous Japanese-language period piece would go tragically unheralded.
Hiroyuki Sanada as Yoshii Toranaga and, especially, Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko delivered some of this year's most memorable performances, and they were rightly feted with the Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress.
It's hard to imagine what more Shogun could have done to secure support from studio bosses at Disney, which the show-FX's most acclaimed series has become.
