BEVERLY HILLS — It was a night of celebration as “Shōgun,” “Out of My Mind,” and “Say Nothing” were honored with Peabody Awards. The event showcased the most captivating and inspiring stories in broadcasting and streaming over the past year.
“Shōgun” co-creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo were on hand to accept the award.
“It always feels good! It’s exciting. It’s fun to see everybody dressed up and just to think about all the projects that are being celebrated and the hard work,” Kondo shared 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.
“It’s feeling very real, very quickly, let me tell you,” Marks remarked. “I think people are gonna be pretty surprised when they see what the scope of season two really is.”
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.
