Shōgun standout Anna Sawai is preparing for her first Golden Globe Awards, but she’s not anxious about the ceremony or the possibility of taking the stage and walking away with a trophy.

“I feel like when I think about it too much, I do get quite nervous,” Sawai, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly at the 2025 WWD Style Awards on Friday, January 3, while stunning in a custom Louis Vuitton gown. “So, I’m not thinking about it at all.”

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

Sawai is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Drama. She is up against Kathy Bates (Matlock), Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon), Maya Erskine (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), Keira Knightley (Black Doves) and Keri Russell (The Diplomat).

Shōgun is also up for three other Golden Globes, including Best Television Series, Drama and individual acting nods for Sawai’s costars Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano. Before Sawai steps out at the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, she explained to Us how her recent Emmy victory is informing her award show prep and mindset.

“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 on Friday. “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.”

Sawai took home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys in September 2024 — the first performer of Asian descent to earn the honor.

“I was crying before my name was announced. I’m a mess today,” she said in her acceptance speech at the time. “Thank you to my team and thank you to my family. Mom, I love you. You are the reason I’m here. You showed me stoicism and that’s how I was able to portray it. This is to all the women who expect nothing and continue to be an example for everyone.”

Sawai has since honored her loved ones after her victory.

“I bought my sister and my mom a Cartier ring,” she told Us. “But, none for myself. I am always trying to give more than I treat myself.”

Sawai’s Emmy win and Golden Globe nod were both in honor of her Shōgun role of Mariko, who died at the end of season 1.

“I personally feel like her story has concluded, and it’s perfect,” she quipped on Friday. “So, I’m not asking to come back.”

That being said, if the Shōgun creative team were interested in Mariko’s return, then Sawai “would absolutely do it.”

Until then, Sawai has her eyes on the big screen.

“I do want to do film. I feel like I haven’t done film in a long time, and I kind of want to do something that feels independent,” she said. “I’m just reading scripts, something that’s maybe like a bittersweet love story. I would love that.”

Jennifer Lopez's Vampy Glam Nail Polish Is Under $12

4 January 2025 at 09:06

If you’re anything like Us, you love mimicking celebrity beauty looks. Though often overlooked, celeb nail looks are no exception. We recently learned the high quality (yet totally affordable) nail polish brand worn by Jennifer Lopez, and we can’t help but share every little detail about her recent vampy glam manicure!

Celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik shared a photo shoot on Instagram featuring Jennifer Lopez while dropping details of her sultry look. The pop star’s style is always impeccable, but I couldn’t help but notice the black cherry nail polish she wore. I was thrilled to find the exact brand on Amazon for just $12!

I have a long-time obsession with the vampy color, but it can be challenging to find one that reads deep red, not black. The CND Vinylux Longwear Nail Polish in black cherry is that unicorn — a deep oxblood that elevates any outfit. The sexy hue is perfect for cold-weather months!

A deep red hue will always dominate in the winter, and this black cherry shade nails the sultry look. CND’s formula is infused with keratin, jojoba oil and vitamin E to nourish nails. Best of all? No base coat is necessary. The brand is known for its gel-like durability, high shine and gorgeous colors. No wonder celebs like Jennifer Lopez wear this exact polish!

Lopez isn’t the only fan of this black cherry nail polish from CND. Nearly 2,000 Amazon shoppers can’t stop raving about this nail polish.

“This polish lasts longer than any I have ever tried,” one shopper raves.

“Worth the hype!” another nail maven explains. “This polish rocks and I’m a very critical reviewer. It goes on very thin, kind of strange to apply at first. Then I did the top coat (which seals the base coat and absolutely needs to be applied to get the long lasting wear), and it looks like I got my usual gel manicure. I highly recommend.”

Save yourself time and money by opting for at-home manicures using CND’s chip-resistant nail polish. We’re big fans of Lopez’s dark cherry nail look for vamping up our nails this winter, but the brand has several more colors if you’re looking for something more neutral.

Yes, Kylie Kelce Has Her Own 'Korner' on Husband Jason's ESPN Show

Jason Kelce’s late-night ESPN talk show featured a VIP guest in the announcer booth — his wife, Kylie Kelce!

“One of the other cool things, not only am I getting my own show but I’m getting to make my own show with my wife, Kylie, as the announcer,” Jason, 37, said during the Saturday, January 3, broadcast of his They Call It Late Night series. “Kylie’s corner, I love that sign. Ky, is this not the f—ing best?”

Kylie, 32, sat up in a box with a microphone in front of a green-painted poster that read “Kylie’s Korner.” (Green, of course, is a not-so-subtle tribute to the Philadelphia Eagles, where Jason played 14 seasons as an NFL center before announcing his retirement last year.)

“It’s amazing,” Kylie gushed. “I do have an official disclaimer, though, that I’m obligated to read. ‘To our viewers, this evening’s program is intended for mature audiences. Young viewers, such as your children, may hear language that is inappropriate for them.’”

She added, “Not our kids! They hear s— like this all the time. Right, J?”

Jason then replied that “swearing is not an issue” in their house.

“So, you may hear the occasional F-bomb or something, like this: I f—ing love you, Ky,” he told his wife, who repeated the phrase back to her husband.

Jason and Kylie have been married since 2018 after infamously matching on the dating app Tinder. They later welcomed daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 22 months. Kylie revealed in fall 2024 that she and Jason are currently expecting their fourth daughter.

During a December 2024 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Kylie revealed why she is excited about being a mother of four.

“I really like even numbers,” she joked during the podcast episode. “Jason was always like, ‘I’ll do whatever you wanna do,’ and I was always in the camp of I wanted four with room for one pleasant surprise.”

She added, “We got to three and I was like, ‘Three’s cool. This feels good.’ Then, we got out of the rough baby sleeping and all that, and I was like, ‘You know what, I like even numbers, let’s do it.’”

While Kylie and Jason are ready to tackle (pun intended) the newborn phase again, they haven’t yet settled on a name for their future little one.

“First of all, love the confidence, but even if I did have a name picked out, I’d probably keep that one in the family,” Kylie said on an earlier podcast episode. “What I will say: We don’t have a name picked out, so you’re not missing out on anything. And I have seen a number of the suggestions come through in the comments section so I appreciate that.”

They Call It Late Night airs Saturdays on ESPN at 1 a.m. ET.
