- Story Text: Emmy hosts Dan and Eugene Levy stepped onto a red carpet in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday (September 15) as Hollywood luminaries prepared to celebrate the best of television at the annual Emmy Awards.
"Shogun," a historical epic set in feudal Japan, headed into the ceremony as the frontrunner to take the night's top trophy for best drama series. Reigning best comedy champion "The Bear," about a family trying to open a top-tier restaurant in Chicago, is expected to claim that prize again, according to awards pundits.
Both shows debuted on the FX cable network and stream on Hulu, setting up a big night for owner Walt Disney and its TV chief Dana Walden.
"Shogun," a series about a power struggle in the 17th century with most of the dialog in Japanese, was no sure thing. It had been in development for years before it came together with elaborate sets, makeup and costumes and storytelling that impressed critics with its attention to detail.
Sunday's ceremony takes place just eight months after the last Emmys, which aired in an unusual January slot because of disruptions caused by Hollywood labor strikes.
Ahead of the ceremony, "Shogun" had already set records. It won 14 trophies - the most ever for one season of a drama series - at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys, where awards were given for guest actors and crafts such as cinematography.
Competitors for best drama include British royal family saga "The Crown" and spy thriller "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" from Amazon's Prime Video.
"The Bear" is competing with its second season, the one that featured a widely praised episode about a disastrous family holiday gathering.
