\"Emmys<\/div>\n
\n <\/p>\n

Shogun<\/i> is tipped to become the first ever non-English-language winner of the Emmy for best drama – the most prestigious prize at the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars – at a glitzy ceremony on Sunday. The epic series about feuding dynasties in the intricate and deadly royal courts of 17th-century Japan is expected to make history with wins for its cast, including veteran leading man Hiroyuki Sanada, at the gala in downtown Los Angeles.\u00a0Shogun<\/i> hit the ground running at the Creative Arts Emmys this past weekend, notching a record-breaking 14 wins in technical and smaller categories, which are handed out ahead of the gala.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday’s other big winners could include “The Bear,” a dark comedy set in the Chicago restaurant scene that returned for an experimental second season, and Netflix’s controversial limited series Baby Reindeer<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Father-and-son acting duo Eugene and Daniel Levy will host the ceremony, from 5:00 pm (0400 GMT Monday).<\/p>\n

Here are four things to look out for:<\/p>\n

‘Shogun’ to reign?<\/p>\n

Based on James Clavell’s historical fiction novel, “Shogun” led the nominations with 25 overall. Though produced by Disney-owned FX, and shot in Canada, it features Japanese cast and subtitled dialogue, making it only the second non-English-language show to earn a best drama nomination, after South Korea’s Squid Game<\/i> two years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to the night’s biggest prize, for best drama series, wins are predicted for stars Sanada and Anna Sawai. And supporting actor Tadanobu Asano could ride the Shogun<\/i> wave to victory for his villainous turn as the brutal Kashigi Yabushige.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With its wins in the minor categories, Shogun<\/i> has already eclipsed the previous record of 12 set by Game of Thrones<\/i> for number of Emmys for a drama in a single season. It is nearly certain to tack on a few more on Sunday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Its biggest rival this year is former drama winner “The Crown.” The final season of Netflix’s British royal saga drew a lukewarm response from critics, but Elizabeth Debicki is tipped for best supporting actress as princess Diana.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Comedy? Yes, chef<\/p>\n

In the comedy sections, The Bear<\/i> and its foodie chefs played by Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach look primed for more Emmys glory.<\/p>\n

The show’s intense debut season dominated the last Emmys, and its even more acclaimed and ambitious second season is eligible this time around.<\/p>\n

It scooped up seven prizes in minor categories, including a best guest actress award for Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis.<\/p>\n

If there is any suspense, it may be over whether the show should even be considered a comedy. Jokes are few and far between in a series dealing with hard-hitting issues from death and mourning to betrayal and emotional abuse.<\/p>\n

HBO’s Hacks<\/i> is expected to limit the Bear<\/i> rampage, with Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder looking like frontrunners for their roles as a diva comedienne and her dysfunctional millennial assistant.<\/p>\n

True story?<\/p>\n

Based on a relatively unknown Scottish comedian’s harrowing one-man show about sexual abuse, “Baby Reindeer” became a huge word-of-mouth hit for Netflix this year. Part of the attention stemmed from the show’s claim to be “a true story” – an insistence that earned the streamer a $170 million lawsuit from a British woman who claims she was the inspiration for its obsessive and violent stalker.<\/p>\n

But controversy aside, pundits predict Emmy voters will choose “Baby Reindeer” as best limited series, and its creator Richard Gadd goes head-to-head with Andrew Scott (“Ripley”) and Jon Hamm (“Fargo”) for best actor.<\/p>\n

The limited series section, for shows that end in a single season, always draws A-list Hollywood stars, and this year is no exception.<\/p>\n

Jodie Foster is a best actress favorite for her turn as an Alaskan cop in True Detective: Night Country<\/i>, up against fellow Oscar winner Brie Larson, as a pioneering female chemist in “Lessons in Chemistry.”<\/p>\n

Strike silver lining?<\/p>\n

Unusually, the 76th Emmy Awards will be the second Emmys gala held this year, after the previous edition was shunted to January due to last summer’s Hollywood strikes. That months-long walkout by actors and writers also crimped the pipeline of new shows that could be released in time for this edition, meaning submissions dropped by a third year-on-year.<\/p>\n

With several bigger series skipping this year – and others such as Succession<\/i> having ended their runs – could this be an opportunity for new titles like Fallout<\/i> and Mr and Mrs Smith<\/i> to shine?<\/p>\n

Potentially. But even Shogun<\/i> is a remake of sorts. A previous miniseries based on the same novel, which aired way back in 1980, won three Emmys.<\/p>\n
