In fact, these two programs earned a combined 48 Emmy nods, breaking records along the way.
Disney just dominated the Emmys. Here’s all the good news.

We’ve known for a while now that the FX series, Shogun, was a massive blockbuster.
Originally intended as a limited-run series, Shogun performed so well that Disney added two more seasons.

Legendary actor Hiroyuki Sanada agreed to star in those episodes as well.
Now, the Academy has honored Sanada with an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series nod.

Remarkably, that’s only one of 25 (!) nods for Shogun, the most-lauded series this year.
Anna Sawai also earned recognition in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.

Shogun also claimed other acting nominees and is the heavy favorite for the all-important category of Outstanding Drama Series.
In fact, FX/Hulu could make a clean sweep of the major awards this year, because…
The Bear Breaks a Record

You could argue the merit of the Academy listing The Bear in the comedy category.
However, the series dominated last year’s Emmys in this category and appears to do the same this time.

The Bear earned 23 nominations, making it the most lauded program ever in the Best Comedy Series division.

So, Disney beat the competition by 76 nominations!
Since many of these programs are available on Hulu and Disney+, subscription sign-ups should increase based on this news.

People WILL want to watch Shogun and The Bear because of this headline.
Similarly, Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden just stated her case for why she should be Disney’s next CEO.

Truth be told, my knee-jerk reaction upon hearing the announcement is that she just won the race.
However, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro will have a chance to counter with the upcoming Disney Experiences Panel at the 2024 D23 Expo.

Perhaps the most impressive performance beyond the top two was Only Murders in the Building, which earned 21 nods this season.
So, three Hulu programs combined for 69 Emmy nominations. If that doesn’t get customers to subscribe, nothing will.
