‘Shogun’ and ‘Baby Reindeer’ highlight the growing power of international television
The Golden Globes have long possessed an international flavor in their film awards, but the advent of streaming, and breakthrough success of programs such as Squid Game, Baby Reindeer and Shogun, has yielded a similar dynamic in the television categories. The growing power of TV featuring international talent could be seen as FX/Hulu’s Shogun — after similar domination at the Emmys — laid siege to the Globes’ drama category, as the adaptation of James Clavell’s novel about feudal Japan was named best drama in addition to slicing off wins for stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai and Tadanobu Asano.
