Yeesssss, I am here for Anna and Moeka and Tadanobu and Hiroyuki sweeping the board in the acting categories.

(Not entirely sure how I feel about more seasons, as I love the book and where it - and the show - ends, but the Edo period is so rich & ripe for exploring, so I'm down, as long as they keep this same crew and level of commitment to excellence)

sanada and anna will def win, asano prob and i'm hoping both fumi and moeka get a nom (elizabeth debicki will prob win). baby reindeer will sweep limited

first of all, i wanna say that shogun deserves all the awards and more. that series is must see tv right there. also, anna sawai is a star and i hope to see her in more shows.

anw so we're turning shogun into a taiga (historical) drama?

i mean... i'm not mad at it and tokugawa ieyasu (the person whom toranaga was based on) had a very interesting life. if that's the direction seasons 2 and 3 will go, i'm perched. i've only read shogun and not clavell's other novels, so i can't argue for or against the direction of following his universe.

I honestly think they should leave it alone & just adapt the other books next.

I like the idea of doing a mini-series of a book adaption, I am not a fan of trying to stretch it into more seasons beyond the book.

I did think it was a very well done show, and one of the few subtitled shows I was willing to watch which says a lot. I just don't really think it needed any more seasons.

I really liked Shogun, but I really don't know about more. Totally deserves a ton of awards, though.
