Lead Actor In A Drama Emmy Winner Hiroyuki Sanada Calls ‘Shōgun’ “An East-West Dream Project With Respect” Says “We Can Create A Better Future”

Hiroyuki Sanada has won his first Emmy.

We can create a better future together.

It was vital to him to maintain authenticity, he told Deadline earlier this year.

And that authenticity began with language.

Finally, we decided on 70% with subtitles.

It was a kind of gamble.

But also, we believed in the audience their knowledge, intelligence and imagination.

And then, yeah, it worked.

And thank you all the crew and cast ofShogun, Im so proud of you.

So, I had a team for the first time so, much easier and smoother.

I could be joined between the Japanese crew and cast with the Western crew and cast.

There are a total of six more potential wins on the table for them tonight.
