'Shogun' star Anna Sawai opens up on emotions before Golden Globes ceremony

Shogun star Anna Sawai is preparing for her first Golden Globe Awards, but her nerves are calm since she’s already bagged an Emmy for her role as Mariko in the show.

“I feel like when I think about it too much, I do get quite nervous,” Sawai told Us Weekly. “So, I’m not thinking about it at all.”

“I’m just going to enjoy it, I don’t want to cry anymore. I’ll just think about it when I’m there,” she added.

“I feel like the Emmy win has allowed me to kind of not worry about it anymore, in the sense that it doesn’t matter,” Sawai said. “I got an Emmy and that’s amazing, and this time it’s just a celebration of everyone. I don’t want to focus on who wins and not. I think it’s made me learn a little bit.”

Shogun's Anna Sawai is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Drama. She faces competition from Oscar winner Kathy Bates (Matlock), OBE Keira Knightley (Black Doves), Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon), Maya Erskine (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), and Keri Russell (The Diplomat).
