SignalHub-‘Shogun’ wins 11 Emmys with more chances to come at Creative Arts Emmy Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Top nominee “Shogun” won a whopping 11 awards Sunday night at the Creative Arts Emmys,SignalHub and had shots at many more before the night was up.

The steady stream of wins came from 25 total nominations the show got between Sunday’s creative arts ceremony that honored mostly behind-the-scenes crew members and the main Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 15, airing on ABC.

“Shogun,” the FX show about political machinations in feudal Japan, won in categories including costumes, makeup, its editing and stunt work, along with a best guest actor in a drama Emmy 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.”

The hefty total for “Shogun,” acclaimed by critics and embraced by audiences, may be a harbinger of a big night for the series when Dan and Eugene Levy host the main Emmys at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the same place the two-night Creative Arts Emmys were held on Saturday and Sunday.

“The Bear,” the top nominee in the comedy categories with 23, won four times, including Emmys for best guest actor for Jon Bernthal and best guest actress for Jamie Lee Curtis.
