At the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, Anna Sawai made history as the first Asian woman to win Best Actress in a Drama Series. She earned the award for her portrayal of Lady Mariko in FX's Shogun. Sawai's win was particularly notable given the strong competition from fellow nominees, including Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon (The Morning Show), Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age), Maya Erskine (Mr and Mrs Smith), and Imelda Staunton (The Crown). During her acceptance speech, Sawai expressed heartfelt gratitude to her cast, crew, and co-star Hiroyuki Sanada, who also won an Emmy for his role in Shogun.
