Well, it wasn’t just Watts from Billy Crudup’s family who he mentioned on stage. The Watchmen actor also greeted his kids with a hi, stating that he knew they were watching him on screen.

76th Primetime Emmy Awards: Shōgun Takes Home Top Honor; Wins Outstanding Drama Series
FX’s Shōgun, which charmed audiences with its portrayal of 17th-century Japan, was named Outstanding Drama Series by the TV Academy on Sunday, September 25, at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. The annual gathering, hosted by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, was broadcast live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
“Thank you for this incredible honor. We are so grateful,” the show’s co-creator Justin Marks said while accepting the accolade before thanking the network’s John Landgraf, Gina Balin, Kate Lambert, Lindsay Donahue, and Nick Grad for greenlighting a “very expensive, subtitled Japanese period piece.”
Marks then passed the microphone to Hiroyuki Sanada, the lead actor of the show, who expressed his gratitude to all the crew, directors, and masters for their support of the samurai period dramas.
Sanada also won Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role as a political player in lordly Japan. While accepting his individual prize earlier in the night, the actor, with all due respect, remarked that the show was an “East meets West dream project.” Of the production, Sanada said it facilitated the union of American and Japanese filmmakers to tell the story of the first English contact with Japan in the year 1600. “And Shōgun taught me that when people work together, we can make miracles. We can create a better future together.”
While the drama entered the Primetime Emmys with a massive 25 nominations, it also took home 14 golden girl statuettes at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend.
The series, for those who may not know, chronicles the lives of two men from different worlds — John Blackthorne, aka Anjin-san (Cosmo Jarvis), an English sailor who finds himself stranded in the East Asian country, and Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Sanada), a samurai warlord navigating elaborate power conflicts.
