Emmys 2024: With ‘Shōgun’ departing to drama, limited series is up for grabs

“Shōgun” began its life as a limited series, a new 10-part adaptation of James Clavell‘s novel. Kali Reis, left, and Jodie Foster in “True Detective: Night Country.” LIMITED SERIES Let’s start with the franchises. LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE ACTRESS First a trio of women who elevated their series: Sofia Vergara’s steely turn as Colombian drug kingpin Griselda Blanco in “Griselda,” Naomi Watts’ heartbreaking work in “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans” and Kate Winslet’s mad genius in “The Regime.” They all might earn nominations without their series being recognized. LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE ACTOR If you thought Don Draper was a jerk, Jon Hamm would like to introduce you to “Fargo’s” Sheriff Roy Tillman, a modern Marlboro Man who loves militias, hates women and believes he is above the law because he is the law. LIMITED SERIES/TV MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTRESS You can’t nominate Foster for “True Detective” without also recognizing her partner in crime, Kali Reis, just as Jessica Gunning’s empathetic, terrifying turn as the stalker in “Baby Reindeer” must be rewarded alongside Gadd.
