2024 Creative Arts Emmys (Night Two): ‘Shōgun’ Breaks All Time Record, Pasek and Paul Join EGOT Family
Shōgun has broken the all-time Emmy record for the most wins for any series in a single year with 14, and we’re only in the Creative Arts Emmys.
The FX series based on the classic novel by James Clavell swept every category it was nominated in on night two of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards except two, Music Composition and Main Title Theme Music. It won across the board elsewhere in Guest Actor in a Drama Series for Néstor Carbonell as well as the cinematography, editing, costumes, production design, sound, hair and makeup categories for one hour or period shows. Originally set a limited series, FX gave the green light for two more just under the wire for it to qualify as a drama series this year. Shōgun has seven more nominations going into next weekend’s Primetime Emmy Awards, of which it can win six continue its sweep (it has two nominations in supporting actor).
Only two other drama series’ found their way to wins amidst the Shōgun blitz: Netflix’s The Crown and Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the latter of which won an Emmy for Michaela Coel as Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Limited Series found wins for Netflix’s Ripley (3) and Baby Reindeer (2) and AppleTV+’s Lessons in Chemistry (1) while the comedy and half hour categories were dominated once again by The Bear, with seven wins including both guest acting slots with Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal both winning for the Christmas episode, “Fishes.” Only Murders in the Building picked up three wins, fending off Shōgun and The Bear in music and production design categories, respectively.
Speaking of Only Murders in the Building, the songwriting duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul became the 20th and 21st EGOT winners, securing their status tonight with the Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics for their song “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?” from Only Murders in the Building. In the process the pair became the fastest to EGOT in history, earning all four awards – Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony – in just seven years. They earned their Oscar first, in 2017 for the original song “City of Stars” from La La Land, then their first Tony just a few months later for the original score of Dear Evan Hansen and their first Grammy for the best musical theater album in 2018, also for Dear Evan Hansen.
Hulu’s Quiz Lady won Outstanding Television Movie in a year where all five nominees earned no other nominations in any category, an Emmy first.
