00:00Congratulations. Let's see those two trophies.
00:03Thank you so much. It's amazing.
00:05I'm still like a dream.
00:07Such a dream of a night for Shogun.
00:09What's going through your mind right now?
00:11How are you feeling after this just huge Emmy night?
00:14Ah, what an experience.
00:17You know, first time for me, of course.
00:20And then first time for the Japanese actor.
00:24And it's a lot for me.
00:28It's meaningful for myself.
00:33But also I think this will be a good stepping stone
00:40for the Japanese industry people or actors.
00:45Or not only for Japanese,
00:48all the foreigners, you know,
00:51get more chances from now on, I believe.
00:56And then our team, you know, Western, Eastern crew and cast,
01:03working together, respect each other, sharing each other, helping.
01:08You know, making of Shogun itself
01:13has a very important meaning and a message to the world,
01:18especially for now.
01:20So I hope this kind of, you know, project
01:26is going to be a new normal in Hollywood.
01:30That's what I'm hoping.
01:32Anna got so emotional during her speech.
01:34What was it like seeing her go up there and win?
01:37I'm so proud of her.
01:39You know, only her could do this role on the earth.
01:45I'm so proud of her.
01:47And that's real Anna, you know, emotional, charming, you know.
01:54On set, so much talent, but effort.
02:00Her effort made it.
02:03So I'm so happy for her.
