Shogun won the most Emmys ever for a single season of a television series with 14 at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday night, while The Bear won seven including Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Jamie Lee Curtis. Presenters were saying Shogun all night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on the second night of the two-night Creative Arts Emmys, where awards are handed out that don’t quite make the main Primetime Emmys ceremony. It broke the record of 13 set by the 2008 limited series John Adams before even reaching the September 15 main ceremony, when it can pad its record with up to five more.
The FX series about political machinations in feudal Japan, won all but two of the possible 16 trophies it could have claimed on Sunday night, including Emmys for costumes, makeup, editing, stunts and cinematography, along with guest actor for Néstor Carbonell. As he accepted, Carbonell thanked the crew, then marveled at how many of them were in the audience. “You’re all here! You’re all nominated!” Carbonell said.
“I love the team sport of this.” Curtis was emotional on stage after winning her first Emmy 18 months after winning her first Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once. “I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” Curtis said backstage.
“I just never thought I would get to do work at this level of depth and complexity and intelligence. It’s been the thrill of my creative life these last couple of years.” Asked if she could win a Grammy .
