FX’s limited series Shōgun made history by winning a record-breaking 14 Emmys at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, surpassing HBO’s John Adams’ 13 Emmys in 2008. This achievement, which was previously thought to be untouchable, marks a significant milestone in the television industry. The success of Shōgun highlights the growing competitiveness among networks and platforms in the battle for Emmy recognition.
In a congratulatory email from Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden, it was revealed that Disney took home a total of 51 Creative Arts Emmys. This combined total includes wins from various Disney distribution platforms, with more than half of the awards coming from FX alone. The remarkable success of Disney at the Emmy Awards showcases the company’s commitment to producing high-quality content across its diverse range of platforms.
FX’s record-breaking 27 awards, with Shōgun and The Bear leading the pack with 14 and 7 Emmys respectively, solidifies the network’s position as a frontrunner in the television industry. The impressive showing of FX at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards sets the stage for the main telecast, where both Shōgun and The Bear are expected to continue their winning streak. With the potential to break even more records, FX is poised to surpass industry giants like Netflix and HBO to claim the top spot among networks and platforms.
In addition to FX’s triumph, Disney also saw success in other categories at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Highlights included wins for Disney Branded Television’s Disney+ documentary Jim Henson Idea Man, songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul’s win for Hulu’s Only Murders In The Building, and ABC’s Shark Tank’s victory for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. The recognition of Disney’s varied content demonstrates the company’s ability to produce award-winning content across different genres and platforms.
As the television industry gears up for the main telecast of the Emmy Awards, all eyes are on FX and Disney to see if they can maintain their winning streak. With strong contenders like Baby Reindeer from Netflix in the mix, the competition is fierce. However, with a record-breaking number of wins already under their belt, FX and Disney are well-positioned to finish as the top-ranking company at this year’s Emmy Awards. The television landscape is evolving, and FX’s groundbreaking success with Shōgun is a testament to the network’s ability to push boundaries and set new standards for excellence in television programming.
