‘Shogun’ and ‘Hacks’ win top TV honors at Golden Globes

BEVERLY HILLS, California, Jan 5 (Reuters) - "Shogun," FX's historical epic set in imperial Japan, claimed the prestigious best drama television series trophy at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

A tale of political machinations, "Shogun," also won best female and male acting awards for first-time winners Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada.

"Thank you for everyone that has been in my life. All of you have brought me here," Sanada said following his win.

"For the young actors and creators in the world, believe in yourself and never give up," he added.

Meanwhile, "Hacks," known for its complex female stand-up comedian, claimed the best comedy win and one of its female leads Jean Smart, the Best Television Female Actor – Musical/Comedy Series. 

"I never thought I'd be so happy to be called a hack," Jean began her acceptance speech, as she gave created to "the most brilliant show runners" and "a cast and crew that were sent from heaven."

Jean made sure to give a special shoutout to her co-lead, Hannah Einbinder, who played the young Eva in the show. "Without Eva, there would be no Deborah," she said, naming her character.
