“Shōgun ”winners get flustered in front of Harrison Ford at the Golden Globes: 'Han Solo is looking at us'

In a galaxy not so far away, Shōgun series creator Justin Marks couldn't accept his 2025 Golden Globes win without a shoutout to Han Solo.

FX's Emmy-winning historical epic picked up the win for best drama TV series at Sunday's ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, and Marks — accepting the award onstage alongside the cast and crew, including his wife and series co-creator Rachel Kondo — shouted out fellow nominee Harrison Ford, nominated for his work on Apple TV+'s Shrinking.

"They don't tell you how insane this is," began Marks in his speech, noting that just yesterday, he and Kondo were scouring their home looking for their 50-lb. tortoise. "And now here we are, and Han Solo is looking at us," said Marks. The cameras then panned to an amused Ford in his seat.

"Nothing about this show has been expected, truly," Marks continued. "It was made on the backs of thousands of yeses we received over the years from our East meets West crew and our extraordinary cast standing here, and our writers and our directors and our partners at Disney television, FX, and Hulu."

"It is a miracle that anyone still has their jobs. It is a miracle that we still have our marriage. And it is a miracle if we ever find that tortoise again," Marks added. "Thank you so much."

The second series adaptation of James Clavell's novel of the same name, the historical drama centers on the power struggle between a lord and a council of regents in feudal Japan. Stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, and Tadanobu Asano all won in their respective categories at the ceremony Sunday after sweeping the 2024 Emmys. There, Sawai became the first Asian woman to win in her category.

"I feel like I don't really understand it quite yet, especially when I hear the words 'historic' or 'first,'" Sawai told Entertainment Weekly following her historic Emmy win.

Shōgun was tonight's big winner on the TV front, while Jacques Audiard's musical Emilia Pérez, which led the nominees with 10 nominations in all, also triumphed with four wins, including Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for Zoe Saldana.
