I jumped out of my chair and shouted YES as soon as I heard them call her name because she gave a TRULY iconic performance as Lady Toda Mariko.

I am so happy to see her win! She deserves all the accolades. I am looking forward to her next project and excited to see where her career will take her ❤

Well deserved win for Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada, and the entire Shogun cast and crew! Best show hands down!

So thoroughly deserved. Outstanding actress.

When I Anna said (about coming back for season 2), "The way that the story completed for her was perfect and I don't want to mess with that." Great respect for her and her answer. 🥰
