Shogun steals the show

‘Shogun’ took home the prestigious Outstanding Drama Series award at the ceremony.

After it was revealed that the FX show saw off competition from fellow nominees ‘The Crown’, ‘Fallout’, ‘The Gilded Age’, ‘The Morning Show’, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, ‘Slow Horses’ and ‘3 Body Problem’ to secure the prize, showrunner Justin Marks admitted he was stunned the series had even been made in the first place.

He said: "Thank you for this incredible honour. We are so grateful to our partners at Disney Television, to Dana Walden and Eric Schrier, to Hulu and especially FX, you guys green lit a very experience subtitled period piece whose central climax revolves around a poetry competition, I have no idea why you did that but thank you for your faith in this incredible team.

"We share this award with our extraordinary cast and crew from Japan and North America. 'Shogun' is a show about translation, not what is lost but what is found."

The series ended the night with a monumental 18 wins, making it one of the most successful programmes in the event's history.
