Interpreter/Translator/Writer Stacy Smith (Kumamoto-ken CIR, 2000-03) presents WIT Life, a periodic series about aspects of Japanese culture such as art, film, food and language. Stacy starts her day by watching Fujisankei’s newscast in Japanese, and here she offers some interesting tidbits and trends along with her own observations.
After a deep chill here in New York last week, we’re blessed with spring-like temps as we head into March. We’re also in the thick of awards season, and on Sunday I enjoyed watching the SAG Awards (The Film Independent Spirit Awards also took place the day before, but I haven’t had a chance to catch them yet). Much like at the Emmy’s and Golden Globes, the television show Shogun dominated the categories it was nominated in. Once again, Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai won for Best Male/Female Actor, and the show itself clinched Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
In her acceptance speech, Sawai highlighted her sadness at the fact that this was the last time she and her cast would be there as a team celebrating together. A few days before the ceremony Sawai was selected as one of TIME’s Women of the Year. In the article she discusses the weight of portraying Asian women on screen, as well as her desire to challenge herself in different genres going forward. Sawai was the first Asian woman to win the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama.
