Game of Thrones might torch more Emmy records

Is "Game of Thrones" going out in another blaze of glory at this Sunday's Emmy ceremony, torching the field one more time after its polarizing final season!

The HBO drama took a step in that direction over the weekend during what's known as the Creative Arts Emmys, amassing 10 wins -- in categories that include visual effects, music, editing, and makeup -- to lift its all-time total to 57.

"Thrones" is already the most-honored series of all time, and the most-nominated drama, ranking behind only "Saturday Night Live" which has the benefit of having been around for more than 40 years  among programs on the latter score.

Also, this year's 32 nominations broke the single-year record for any drama or comedy (the miniseries "Roots" still holds the mark overall), a total that includes seven nominations combined on the supporting actor and actress slates.

Still, several more milestones could fall on Sunday, when the main Emmy ceremony is televised by Fox.

Three more wins ("Thrones" is nominated in seven remaining categories) would bring the overall 2019 trophies to 13, eclipsing the show's record of 12, reached in both 2015 and 2016.

A best drama victory, meanwhile, would raise the tally in that arena to four, meaning the series would share the throne as most-anointed hour with "Hill Street Blues," "L.A. Law," "The West Wing" and "Mad Men." ("Frasier" and "Modern Family" each garnered five on the comedy side.)
