Game of Thrones
The epic fantasy "Game of Thrones" could mark a milestone in television history, becoming the 68th Sunday Emmy Award in the most award-winning fiction series since the award was created.HBO's "Game of Thrones" already has 35 Emmy Awards in its six seasons, including nine in the Creative Arts weekend, which recognize the artistic and technical achievements.
But at the Emmy gala, "Game of Thrones" could surpass the 37 Emmys won by the comedy series "Frasier" and become the most awarded since these awards were first celebrated in 1949.
The fantastic series on the dispute between families of the nobility by the control of the throne leaves like favorite in the category Best Dramatic Series and many of its actors also are favorites, among them Kit Harrington, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Emilia Clarke.
"That should be a victorious night for 'Game of Thrones'," which took 12 statuettes in 2015, estimates Chris Beachum, chief editor of the Goldderby.com forecast portal.
"The series should get at least three trophies and beat the record," predicted Debra Birnbaum, executive editor of Variety magazine.
NBC's "Saturday Night Life" humor program holds the record in all categories, with 48 statuettes.
The mini-series "American Crime: The People v. O.J. Simpson," a docu-fiction on the battle between former soccer lawyers accused of double murder and prosecutor Marcia Clark could be among Sunday's big winners.
After exciting the critics and achieving spectacular audiences, the 10 episodes broadcast by the FX chain have 13 nominations and have already won 4 Creative Emmy.
The 68th Emmy Awards, the equivalent of the Oscars on television, will be broadcast on ABC from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles at a gala chaired by Jimmy Kimmel, who will present the awards for the second time.
"I think it's going to be very funny," and that the night "will have better audience records than last year," when it dropped to a record low of 11.8 million viewers, Chris Beachum noted.
