The Emmy Awards kicked off in Los Angeles on Sunday, where historical epic Shogun – a tale of warring dynasties in feudal Japan – is poised to break all-time records at television’s equivalent of the Oscars. “We haven’t even given out a single award tonight, and yet Shogun has already made Emmy history,” noted Daniel Levy, co-hosting with his father Eugene, in their opening segment.

Shogun dominates nominations
Shogun is already the most honoured single season of any show in Emmys history, having accrued 14 gongs in minor categories at a separate gala last weekend. With 14 wins in the minor categories, Shogun has already eclipsed the previous record for number of Emmys for a drama in a single season, set by Game of Thrones with 12. Its biggest rival this year is former drama winner The Crown.
This is the second Emmys gala this year, after crippling twin strikes in Hollywood last year bumped the 2023 ceremony to January.
The show kicked off with its father-and-son hosts poking fun at the ongoing struggles of US broadcast television, dubbing the Emmys “TV’s biggest night for honouring movie stars on streaming services.”
Eugene Levy poked fun at criticism over whether The Bear is really a comedy, insisting: “In the true spirit of The Bear, we will not be making any jokes.”
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is streaming in India on Lionsagte Play.
