BEVERLY HILLS — The Peabody Awards were a night of celebration, with standout shows like “Shogun,” “Out of My Mind,” and “Say Nothing” taking home top honors. These awards recognize the most captivating and inspiring stories in broadcast and streaming from the past year.
“Shōgun” co-creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo were on hand to accept the award.
“Winning always feels great! It’s an exciting experience. Seeing everyone dressed up and reflecting on all the recognized projects and hard work is truly special,” shared Kondo during an interview with On The Red Carpet.
The series was FX’s most-watched show ever and season two will begin production in the new year. Marks revealed he’s headed to scout some locations.
“The realization of this moment is hitting me fast, let me tell you,” Marks expressed. “I believe audiences will be pleasantly surprised when they witness the true extent of what season two has in store.”
The stars of “Say Nothing” were also on hand to accept the show’s award.
“It feels amazing. I mean everything the Peabody stands for is something that resonates with me personally and are the reason why I want to tell stories,” said Lola Petticrew.
The Disney+ film “Out of My Mind” was also honored. It tells the story of a young non-verbal girl with cerebral palsy who tries to find her voice.
“A Peabody is really something special. To feel like you’re a part of something that meant something socially and touched people, yeah I’m not gonna lie, it feels really special,” said director Amber Sealey.
Roy Wood Jr. was the host of the awards ceremony.
“This is special because you’re really taking a moment tonight to amplify people who amplify people with no voice and bring attention to real stories,” he said.
This is the 85th year of the Peabody Awards, which were founded in 1940 at the University of Georgia’s Grady School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+, Hulu and this ABC station.
