@@Thekidisalright even if wokeness had anything to do with language, which it doesn't (you're probably thinking 'a majority Asian cast' but you don't want to sound racist) it's one of the biggest hits of the year in America and everywhere else, so you bet your ass it will win a shitload of Emmys
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 Her character calls for a really withdrawn performance.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.
@idde4345.....I heard an interview where Anna talked about the power one can have in stillness. Her performance as Mariko is contained. She's very still much of the time, but often with roiling emotions underneath.
@@sebastianbarrios2760sorry. Somewhat inaccurate choice of words. Should have been 'minimalistic' acting. Amazing actress. A whole lot of acting going on. Not very outwardly emotive though, but very reserved. As fits the character perfectly.
Anna Sawai deserves an Emmy for her performance!! The character of Mariko is an almost an impossible task for an actor. To portray a very powerful 1600's Japanese woman when they're supposed to be seen as "timid" and subservient is incredibly hard. She's not given the ability, like Sanada as Toranaga, to sit in a "power stance" and emote as he did while watching his friend commit seppuku. Her power & strength had to be extremely subtle and yet Anna achieved it. It was truly a beautiful performance for one of the most beautifully tragic characters I've been able to experience in whatever media. Her "Anji-sama, let it come" will haunt me for the rest of my life. I only wish I could have 5 minutes of Anna's time to tell her how much I loved her performance.
I've totally enjoyd Shogun so far. I hope we see more of Anna Sawai. She's a great actor. It's also a pleasure to see how articulate and personable she is in real life.
She's in a bunch of other ongoing or recent high profile shows like Pachinko and Monarch on Apple TV, and Giri/Haji on Netflix. Pachinko especially is 🔥🔥
What a perfectly worded sentiment.🤓 It was so detailed with what looked to be a very masculine herringbone pattern too.🤩 Plus that she “made it on the way” was not only very thoughtful use of her 13 hour flight itinerary, but her developed skills were certainly on display!🥰
Parasite ended up winning lots of awards, including the Academy Awards, despite not being an English speaking movie. I don’t see why Shogun should not receive the same awards it deserves, this show is the best in its own way, nothing is on par with it yet this year.
Wow a phenomenally talented actress especially in SHOGUN. They better give her best actress for the Emmys and other shows. Her performance was transformative and stunning.
I think she already spoke Japanese. She just had to learn that century Japanese. Like modern English speaker learning how to speak fluently like a Shakespearean era speaker. Difficult but not as near impossible as it would be for non native speaker in that time frame, especially for Eastern languages that are so much more complex than Western languages.
@@Summon256 @gigithemouse That's because you have a stereotypical prejudice. There are both light-skinned and dark-skinned Asians. I'm Japanese, and she looks Japanese. How rude is it for someone who isn't Japanese to say to a Japanese person, “This person doesn't look Japanese”?
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
This is a spectacular show… and cannot encourage enough to watch it without the dub. The language and presentation of it by the actors is beautiful and an essential element of the show.
She is captivating on the show. Stoic, gorgeous in every single shot like a painting, and not a single wasted word. Everything she says is like poetry. Best character in the show bar none.
Exactly what I told my brother, the quality of the show reminded me of Game of Thrones. Every detail, the landscape, the wardrobes...just beautiful! I will remember Anna Sawai and can't wait to see her again!!!
So true. Anna was fabulous and should win an Emmy. The whole mini-series was terrific. Loved the chemistry between her and Cosmo Jarvis. She is such a good interview and very sweet.
Anna Sawei put herself in the pantheon of great TV performances with her performance on Shogun. Welcome to immortality Anna. This season of TV will be remembered for years to come. Great work.
Stephen’s audience not only seemed to appreciate Shogun, but Japanese culture as well, really appreciating their embracing of cultural Americana by their response to the Japanese version of the iconic musical number from “Annie”.😮 Big Kudos to Mr. Colbert’s spot on pronunciations and especially his on-the-spot learning of the lyrics in Nihongo!👏👏👏🤓♥️🇯🇵 Thank You for having Anna Sawai as your guest!!🙏🤩
Anna has given an absolutely transcendent performance in this series, never ceased to amaze me the emotional depth she could reach and portray and with such complexity and layers, her showing the eight-fold fence yet also showing how those walls she puts up to hide her emotions are cracking. I can’t wait to see what she does next
One of the best shows I've seen in the last decade. Love the book. Love the show equally. She was beyond perfect as Mariko. The entire cast was phenomenal.
This is hands down the best series I have ever watched. Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Cosmo Jarvis are absolutely brilliant! I can hardly wait each week for the next episode.
How perfect was she and what a series. Done to perfection. Cinematography, acting, outfits, sets, writing, just everyone is fantastic. I'm so in love with the series.
Best series I've ever seen on TV . I wish it was longer. Everyone who worked on the project in British Columbia❤ should be very proud of themselves 🇨🇦❤
she is a legendary actress, whenever she shows on screen my heart start beating fast, not just because of just her beauty 😅, but, and more importantly, her outstanding performance in the way she moves and talks, I don't even find the words to describe that, the closest word that comes to my mind is MAGICAL 💫
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!
Don't forget superbly talented.
Omiyage as the Japanese would say.
@@billielachatte4841 absolutely!
@@glennyee184 I like that! Thanks!

She was the bomb last episode

Give her the Emmy right now already for episode 9, no point of even wasting anyone else's time trying to compete with her
Especially cool to see how different she is in real life to her character, sign of a great actress
Emmy is not going to give an award to a majority Japanese speaking show, they aren’t as woke as Oscar lol

Best supporting actress in a drama series. Yeah, tbh. Unless someone can somehow make a better case.
Lovely handmade gift from Anna to Stephen.
We should all be so lucky
-- she's so f*in adorable.
I wonder how long it took. It seems like a long flight or drive

Anna couldn't be more adorable! A sheer delight.❤
Haha yeah I wish she had a longer time on the show
I think jamesyoung meant on the Stephen Colbert Show 😅
I miss her from the show already
I just watched the devastating 9th episode. Her character’s bravery brought me to tears. She is fantastic.
You and me both, friend.
same here!
So what happened she died or give her self
@@MrAresxy07 spoiler lol but she basically died by sacrificing herself for Lord Toranaga’s cause
I've read the book, and knew what was coming, and I still was saddened by it. Her performance was absolutely riveting.
She's so adorable, the segment should be longer. I hope she wins the Emmys for her great performance as Mariko #shogunfx
I don't care what else comes out this year, she's already the winner in my eyes.
💯
Adorable actresses who have tough lives are gonna be big this year between Anna and Ella from Fallout.
we already know
Shogun got me to warmer weather and Anna needs to get to her Emmy. 99/100 rotten tomatoes folks.
Shōgun is a masterpiece. All roles were perfectly cast especially Mariko-sama.
Fuji and Yabu steal the show. The casting is great, but those two just steal scenes.
you must be kidding
But but but..... There are no black actors in it.
LOL
Perfect casting except Cosmo, He is terrible
Why does Blackthorne speak like captain Kirk?
She is SUCH a sweetheart. I'm never gonna recover after Ep 9.
Relatable 😢
Was hoping for a happy ending😢
I doubt she's either. 🥴
Let me guess she did a harakiri I'm on Episode 3 by the way.
She Blew that Episode up Right out of the water 😀😀😀

Except Anjin sucked , poor casting

What a totally refreshing person she is. She is magnificent in Shogun!
She is an absolute delight. I hope more good things are in her future.
Her performance stands out in an overall amazing show.
She seems really sweet. Made gifts are always more powerful.

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.
FACTS
She should be, but whether those awards willing to give it to someone who mostly speak Japanese in the show is another story
after Ep 9 she better be 'going forward"
Do you mean the whole cast? They were all amazing
Parasite ended up winning lots of awards, including the Academy Awards, despite not being an English speaking movie. I don’t see why Shogun should not receive the same awards it deserves, this show is the best in its own way, nothing is on par with it yet this year.
She’s so delightful! And such a good actor! Powerful and moving!
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!!!
Wow a phenomenally talented actress especially in SHOGUN. They better give her best actress for the Emmys and other shows. Her performance was transformative and stunning.
I totally agree with you @KCNwokoye!
She learned the language, handwriting, the walk, and even out of character she's perfect with everything.
And she sings! 😁🤣😂
She is incredibly attractive. Lucky dude that gets to smash that.

I'm Japanese and so glad that Anna is doing this role. She is so elegant and represents Japanese beauty.
I totally agree! She was the perfect Mariko, I loved Shogun, the series was incredible and so authentic!❤
What exactly is 'Japanese beauty'?
Weird because she doesn't look quite like japanese to me...looks more southeast asian, like vietnamese or thai...but i can't see the japanese thing...
@@Summon256 Exactly, as someone who's constantly in Japan with Japanese cousins. I thought she was Chinese or Viet.

I cried for a week after that episode. I would think about it randomly and just start tearing up again. What a beautifully executed story 🥹
That monologue in front of the council always gives me goosebumps. Already a legend. Love her performance in Shogun.
