John Landgraf, an executive at FX, suggested that television still holds “magic,” as proven by recent award wins. He highlighted the successful Emmy wins for various FX and Disney programs. The hit series “The Bear” and “Sh?gun” were particularly noteworthy. “The Bear” actress Liza Colón-Zayas successfully pipped Carol Burnett and Meryl Streep to an Emmy win. “Sh?gun” also received various accolades.
In total, FX took home 36 awards from the Emmys and Creative Arts Awards, truly a record-breaking achievement for the company. Similarly, Disney’s programs brought them 60 awards, smashing previous records held by CBS and Netflix.
Speaking about these successes, Landgraf praised both the talented award winners and the groundbreaking work they had produced. He highlighted the important role that streaming services, such as Disney+ and Hulu, played in enabling these triumphs. Future seasons for the popular shows “Sh?gun” and “The Bear” were also mentioned as they look set to continue their patterns of success.
