‘Shogun’ tops Emmy nominations 25, ‘The Bear’ cooks up comedy record
By Cynthia Montojo
“The Bear” broke comedy record for most nominations in single year, with 23, ahead of “Only Murders in the Building” which landed on 21.
Hit drama series “Shogun,” transported viewers to early 17th-century Japan, topped television’s Emmy nominations, earning 25 nods.
“True Detective: Night Country,” starring Jodie Foster, topped limited or anthology series section, scoring 19 nominations.
Nominees were announced in live-streamed ceremony from Los Angeles, with final-round voting for 76th Emmy Awards scheduled for next month, ahead of September 15 ceremony.
“Shogun” adapted from James Clavell’s historical fiction novel portrays intricate and deadly court politics of feudal Japan.
Television Academy voters were not put off by show’s heavy use of subtitles, showering nominations on its remarkable cast of Japanese heroes and villains.
Among those were lead actress Anna Sawai and lead actor Hiroyuki Sanada, who said nomination was “truly humbling.”
“It was great opportunity to share our culture with the world…. I hope this will be stepping stone for next generation,” Sanada said in e-mailed statement.
With another two seasons already in the works, “Shogun” is hot favorite across this year’s drama categories.
But surprisingly, there was no nomination for Cosmo Jarvis for his portrayal of marooned English sailor who frames show’s narrative for audiences.
“Shogun” faces competition in drama categories from final season of Netflix’s British royal saga “The Crown,” and Apple’s “The Morning Show” starring Jennifer Aniston.
Meanwhile, “The Bear” topped comedy categories, making history with its 23 nominations.
Previous record set in 2009 was held by Alec Baldwin’s “30 Rock.”
Set in a chaotic Chicago restaurant run by group of close-knit but abrasive and occasionally abusive chefs, “The Bear,” was big winner for its debut season at the last Emmys.
It returned with even more ambitious and experimental second run.
Sumptuous montages of Michelin star-level dishes were paired with extraordinary episodes like “Fishes”, hour-long portrait of dysfunctional family tearing itself apart over one excruciating dinner.
Bizarrely entered in comedy categories, despite dealing with hard-hitting issues like grief and addiction, “The Bear” is up against shows including “Hacks,” “Abbott Elementary,” “Only Murders in the Building,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
Both “Shogun” and “The Bear” come from FX, Disney-owned channel enjoyed stellar day with further multiple nominations for “Fargo,” “Feud: Capote vs The Swans,” “Welcome to Wrexham,” and “What We Do in the Shadows.”
Categories for limited or anthology series are always packed with water-cooler hits.
“True Detective: Night Country” fourth installment of dark crime anthology series, this time shifted action to Alaska scored most nominations this year.
Double Oscar-winner Foster was among Emmy nominees as lead actress.
Among category’s other contenders was Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer,” adapted from Scottish comedian Richard Gadd’s pitch-black one-man show about his encounters with female stalker.
Global phenomenon, has suffered controversy after woman claiming to be its real-life inspiration sued streamer, earned 11 nods, including one for Gadd.
Other widely nominated shows in limited series section included “Fargo,” “Ripley,” and “Lessons in Chemistry.” There were surprising snubs for Kate Winslet “The Regime” and Emma Stone “The Curse”.
76th Emmy Awards will be second to take place in 2024, after last year’s ceremony was postponed to January due to Hollywood strikes. It will honor television series that were broadcast between June 2023 and May 2024.
Tony Hale “Veep” and Sheryl Lee Ralph “Abbott Elementary” unveiled nominations.
Voting members of US-based Television Academy have month to catch up on their viewing, before final-round voting takes place in mid-August.
Programs with most overall nominations:
“Shogun” – 25
“The Bear” – 23
“Only Murders in the Building” – 21
“True Detective: Night Country” – 19
“The Crown” – 18
