Japan's government and people cheered the record trophy haul for period drama "Shogun" at the Emmy Awards as yet another win for their history and culture, which are becoming increasingly popular with tourists and international audiences alike.

Shogun” had historic wins in an epic 18-Emmy first season, “Hacks” scored an upset for best comedy on what was still a four-trophy night for “The Bear,” and “Baby Reindeer” had a holiday at an Emmy Awards that had some surprising swerves.

Quick witted, full of stars, TV reunions and some "Schitt's Creek" nostalgia, the second 2024 Emmy Awards was an inoffensive, pleasurable evening, which is honestly an A+ as far as awards shows are concerned.
