Hiroyuki Sanada & Anna Sawai both deserves all the Awards! Masterpiece Show 🩵

[VOTEDODY]

Shogun is a masterpiece. Sanadas is truly transcendent with the authority and charisma to reach out of the screen, and have me willing to walk off a cliff for him. However, Anna Sawai's portrayal of Mariko is not only the best acting I have seen all year, it’s some of the best acting I have ever seen. Building on one of the most incredible, strong, and complex characters ever put to paper, the show was able to elevate Mariko into new dimensions; the writers gave Mariko focus and stoicism, and Sawai gave her heart and raw, unbridled power. Not many people can believably play a one-person army able to topple an empire. What a lightning storm of a performance she gives in episode 9, and all throughout this series. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of an Emmy.

Having read and loved the book, I found myself excited and yet apprehensive when I first heard about the new adaptation. Ultimately, I resigned myself to being thrilled if they don’t mess it up. By giving it the love and care the story needed, I had no idea they might actually outshine the book. Thank you both for making that happen.

I have written this elsewhere on YouTube so sorry for repeating but I think it needs to be recognized. Shogun is operating on a totally different level with production, writing, and especially acting setting new standards.
Samara and Sawai each give performances strong enough to carry the entire series on their own, in a show that stands confidently by itself.

And someone, please arrest Moeka Hoshi (Fuji) for stealing so many damn scenes and everyone’s heart.

I've always loved Hiroyuki Sanada's performances. Every time he's part of the cast, I know it'll be a great.

[rayvangobel]

Hiroyuki Sanada has such gravitas and presence as an actor. He mastered the screen and he deserves more roles in Hollywood!

[Kiu_]

Everyone had some stunning performances, Anna in particular, she has the makings of a superstar and I hope she wins an Emmy for her portrayal of Mariko.

To anyone who still hasn’t started watching the show, do yourselves a favor and do it, the cinematography is great, the costume designs are stellar, the soundtrack is beautiful, the cast is incredibly talented, etc.

I can't think of a bigger mismatch than having Tracy Morgan and Hiroyuki Sanada sitting next to each other. 😆

Let's be honest, Hroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai are the strength of this series, the reason why the series is so successful, they simply hold the viewer's attention, each in their own way.
