Given the extra admin they've been saddled with, you could have forgiven the Emmy voters for just duplicating January's ballots and letting history repeat itself. Yet, last night's Emmys contained the biggest surprise and arguably the biggest snub the ceremony has seen in years.
The surprise? Just how many awards Shogun won. Shogun was bold, ambitious and unwilling to underestimate the intelligence of its viewers in a medium where that is the norm.
Shogun walked away with 18 trophies, breaking the all-time record for Emmys won for a single season of television. It won many awards across various categories.
While this may be deserved, the monopoly meant that a number of other worthy contenders were shut out. I'm mainly talking about Slow Horses here.
