Carrie Coon as Bertha Russell for (“His Grace the Duke”) in “THE GILDED AGE”
Maya Erskine as Jane Smith / Alana for (“Couples Therapy (Naked & Afraid)”) in “MR. AND MRS. SMITH”
Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette Nichols for (“Holston's Pick”) in “SILO”
Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni for (“Pilot”) in “ELSBETH”
Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko for (“Crimson Sky”) in “SHŌGUN”
Emma Stone as Whitney Siegel for (“It's a Good Day”) in “THE CURSE”
AND THE WINNER IS:
ANNA SAWAI AS TODA MARIKO FOR ("CRIMSON SKY") IN "SHÖGUN"
This is the first win and nomination for Anna Sawai. She won for her performance as Toda Mariko on Shögun.
I will admit that previous to Shögun I had seen Anna Sawai act before in Pachinko but really with so many standout performers on that series she doesn't come top of mind when I think of that series best performers. Tuning into this brilliant series almost immediately I was attracted to the brilliance of her performance. As the series progressed no performance was as captivating and constantly surprising as Sawai's work as Mariko. Whether she was confidently translating between multiple languages, defiently fighting her enemies with her words or emotionally reacting to wrongs around her I was always stunned by her work.
I'm sure to pay more attention to Sawai post this series and I hope others recognise her greatness to.
