The fates aligned perfectly tonight.

Do not be fooled by our politeness. Our bows, our maze of rituals. Beneath it all we could be a great distance away. Safe. And alone.

Toshiro Mifune and Yoko Shimada in #Shogun 1980.

Hiroyuki Sanada and Ana Sawai in #ShogunFX 2024 on #DisneyPlus.

Mifune and Sanada as Lord Yoshi Toranaga, inspired by the life of warlord and later shōgun, #TokugawaIeyasu in #feudalJapan, who reunified Japan in the 17th century after a long civil war (#Sengoku period). He created a new government controlled by the #Tokugawa family that ruled #Japan until 1868.

Shogun is based on #JamesClavell’s novel, a story from both Western and Japanese perspective.

anna won golden globe after Yoko Shimada

I've seen that and I can't be happier!

Plus, I am so glad that Shogun turned all the nominations into wins thus they now have a Golden Globe for the Best Drama Television Series, Best Actor in Drama Television Series, Best Actress in Drama Television Series and Best Supporting Actor in Drama Television Series.

Still kind of sad that Cosmo Jarvis got snubbed for the award nominations he deserves. But I am happy he was there with them.

P.S.: I love the sentence from Justin Marks "Han Solo is looking at us." during Shogun win speech and the way the camera showed Harrison Ford 😂 Gold moment!
