For the critically acclaimed FX series “Shogun,” Sunday night’s Golden Globe win marked somewhat of a full-circle moment. Anna Sawai took home the best actress in a television drama award for her portrayal of the mysterious, high society Lady Mariko. More than 40 years ago, the late Yoko Shimada won the very same category for the same role in the 1980 iteration of “Shogun,” becoming the first Asian actress to win a Golden Globe. In September, she became the first Asian actress to win an Emmy for best actress in a drama series. The series itself won best television series drama.
