Give her the Emmy right now already for episode 9, no point of even wasting anyone else's time trying to compete with her
-
Shōgun is a masterpiece. All roles were perfectly cast especially Mariko-sama.
-
I just watched the devastating 9th episode. Her character’s bravery brought me to tears. She is fantastic.
-
She is beyond charming!
-
Yep she literally carried this last episode. Like everyone's great, but this is her episode 10000%. Absolute queen 👑
-
She learned the language, handwriting, the walk, and even out of character she's perfect with everything.
-
Anna couldn't be more adorable! A sheer delight.❤
-
Lovely handmade gift from Anna to Stephen.
-
why did that gift bring tears to my eyes?! She is gorgeous, but above all lovely which radiates right through and elevates her beauty tenfold!
-
She's very visible in interviews after ep 9...as deserved. I'm glad they're campaigning for this girl because she deserves an Emmy/Golden Globe!!!
-
If Anna is not the front runner for all the awards and a Emmy, I will be very upset. FX/Hulu just have to make sure Anna is everywhere going forward.
-
She's so adorable, the segment should be longer. I hope she wins the Emmys for her great performance as Mariko #shogunfx
-
Wow... Listening Anna speaking ancient japanese give me goosebumps.. Don't you? It is gorgeous..
-
She is SUCH a sweetheart. I'm never gonna recover after Ep 9.
-
Emmy, Golden Globe, People’s Choice, Cable ACE, ALL the awards for Anna!
-
I'm Japanese and so glad that Anna is doing this role. She is so elegant and represents Japanese beauty.
-
She's absolutely amazing in Shogun. Like, actually exceptional. Her character calls for a really withdrawn performance. And not only does she nail that completely, but sooo much evocative emotion still comes through her minimal acting (which is supported by the extremely strong writing and directing of course). An absolute joy to watch.
-
She has got the Emmy and the golden globe in the bag. Holy shit what a performance
-
I’ll post this here too. Anna Sawais better get an Emmy for this. Her portrayal of Mariko is not only the best acting I have seen all year, it’s some of the best acting I have ever seen. Building on one of the most incredible, strong and complex characters ever put to paper, the show was able to elevate Mariko into new dimensions; The writers gave Mariko focus and stoicism, and Sawai gave her heart and raw, unbridled power. Not many people can believably play a one-man army able to topple an empire. What a lightning storm of a performance she gives in episode 9 and all throughout this series. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of an Emmy

She was born to do this role
