Additionally, Tadanobu Asano and Takehiro Hira have both been nominated for outstanding supporting actor, showcasing the depth of talent within the show.

In total, 'Shogun' has amassed an impressive 25 Emmy nominations, making it the most nominated series of the year. This outstanding achievement has not only brought well-deserved recognition to the cast and crew but has also propelled the network FX to new heights. With a total of 93 nominations, FX has achieved a new milestone, further establishing itself as a powerhouse in the television industry.
