The Emmys: 'Shogun' and 'Hacks' Big Winners

The Cast of Shogun

Historical epic "Shogun" won the prestigious best drama award at the Emmy Awards on Sunday, and "Hacks" upset favorite "The Bear" to win best comedy as Hollywood celebrated the best of television, according to Reuters.

"Shogun," a sweeping story about political machinations in 17th-century Japan, also won acting awards for Japanese stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.


"Hacks," about a 70-something comedian and a millennial writer, was the surprise winner of best comedy series, which awards pundits believed was close to a lock for the second season of restaurant tale "The Bear."

Netflix's "Baby Reindeer," a chilling story about a bartender stalked by a customer, was named best limited series.

"The Bear" won three of the four Emmy Awards for comedy acting, yielding only to Jean Smart who claimed her third trophy for her starring role as an ambitious stand-up comic on "Hacks."

Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach won their second straight Emmys for comedy actor and supporting actor on "The Bear." White portrays Chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, a man trying to turn his family's Chicago sandwich shop into a fine dining establishment.

"This show has changed my life and instilled a faith that change is possible," White said as he held his award on stage at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

Moss-Bachrach earned his trophy for his role as Cousin Richie, a restaurant manager and father.

Both actors won the same awards at the last Emmys, which was held in January after Hollywood labor strikes disrupted the normal schedule.

In a surprise, Liza Colón-Zayas landed a third Emmy for "The Bear." She was named best supporting comedy actress for her role as chef Tina Marrero, winning in a field that included legends Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett.

Smart received a standing ovation when she won her third Emmy as the septuagenarian comedian Deborah Vance on "Hacks."

The #Emmys In Memoriam segment honors Bob Newhart, Shannen Doherty, Chance Perdomo and many more.
