Hit drama series “Shogun,” which transported viewers to early 17th-century Japan, topped television’s Emmy nominations earning twenty five nods.

Nominees were announced in a live-streamed ceremony from Los Angeles, with final-round voting for the 76th Emmy Awards scheduled for next month, ahead of the September 15 ceremony.

Television Academy voters were not put off by the show’s heavy use of subtitles, showering nominations on its remarkable cast of Japanese heroes and villains, including its stars Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada.
