Walt Disney Co. claimed the top prize at the 2024 Emmy Awards, winning best drama for Shogun, an adaptation of James Clavell’s 1975 novel and the first series in a language other than English to claim that prize.
Filmed primarily in Japanese, Shogun set a record for the most wins by a single show in one year, with 18 across the prime-time Emmys and the prior week’s Creative Arts awards. It won four awards at Sunday night’s ceremony, including for acting and directing. The show debuted on the FX cable network and streamed on Hulu, making it the first program from a Disney network to win best drama since Lost in 2005.
