Anna Sawai wins best performance by a female actor in a television series (drama)
Anna Sawai won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a television series (drama) for her role as Toda Mariko in "Shōgun."
This is Sawai's first Golden Globe win and her first nomination.
"Thank you to the voters for voting for me, even though I would vote for Kathy Bates any day," she said in her acceptance speech.
Sawai's win comes nearly 44 years after Yoko Shimada won the Golden Globe for the same role in the original television adaptation of "Shōgun" in 1981.
Other nominees in this year's category included Kathy Bates for "Matlock," Emma D'Arcy for "House of the Dragon," Maya Erskine for "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Keira Knightley for "Black Doves" and Keri Russell for "The Diplomat."
