    HISTORICAL drama Shogun, the sweeping story of a struggle for power in feudal Japan, racked up 25 nominations on Wednesday (Jul 17) to lead this year’s contenders for television’s Emmy Awards.

    The first season of the FX network series will compete for best drama, the top Emmy trophy, with the final installment of Netflix’s British royal saga The Crown, among others.

    Another FX show, nail-biting restaurant tale The Bear, earned 23 nominations, including one for best comedy, a category it won at the last Emmys.

    Other comedy nominees included ABC’s Abbott Elementary, set in an underfunded Philadelphia school, and HBO’s Hacks about a septuagenarian comedienne and a millennial writer. REUTERS
