Sanada, who delivered his acceptance speech in Japanese, thanked the crew and directors, highlighting the global impact of Samurai period dramas.
Sawai, the first actress of Asian descent to win Best Actress in a Drama, moved the audience with her words: "This is for all the women who expect nothing and lead by example."
The series' success reinforces the growing demand for bold, risk-taking storytelling. As the second non-English show to be nominated in the Best Drama category, following Squid Game, Shogun is proof that compelling narratives transcend language barriers.
