I am just gonna say that I feel happy that the TV and Movie industry is moving in a direction where they are constantly looking for new talent and different people to play different roles and they are being recognised. A lot of this year's Emmys went to first time winners or nominees and that's exciting! Going are the days where they simply cast a big star to play a leading role just to get attention, more roles and recognition for more people's individual achievements in TV and Film.

I'm a Latin and my wife is Asian, growing up we had our fair share of racism, and unfortunately it still continues to this day, so when I saw Miss Sawai winning this award the feeling of pride for her was magnified. I have no animosity towards people, but I do like to say to them they are missing out, and to stop living in fear. Congratulations Anna!! ❤

Well done to Anna, she is a great actress and the cast of Shogun did a fantastic job on the series.

The Shogun show is a beautiful piece of art and she's the arguably the best performance in the show. Well deserved!
