How would one refer to/address a Shogun?
score:2
There are two forms of address that might be used: oyakata-sama and tono. Tono is somewhat less formal.
If speaking about him in the third person, a person might say watakushitachi no tono ("our lord"), or even his name with -sama. In some cases, well-known figures had popular nicknames.

Oyakata-sama is what his/her troops would most likely call the Lord, it is something people below the Lord would refer to him/her as.
When it's came to the Shogun himself it would vary but I'm sure -sama would be included with their last name such as Tokugawa-sama, Ieyasu-sama, etc. It is a sign of superiority, then again they can go with the full title of Sei-i Taishogun, even being given the chance to see the Shogun through multitudes of guards and schedules you'd be expected to do something.

Tono sama was the most used term by the shoguns close subordinates. E.G. in the long-rin Abarenbo Shogun drama.
