GAME OF THRONES BREAKS YET ANOTHER RECORD

“Game of Thrones” Fantasy epic made television history at the 68th Emmys on Sunday, becoming the most decorated fictional show since the awards began nearly seven decades ago.

The HBO series picked up 12 Emmys this season: nine awards in technical categories and three top prizes at the glitzy ceremony in downtown Los Angeles — television’s equivalent of the Oscars.

The blood-spattered, sex-filled saga about noble families contending for control of the Iron Throne took home the most sought-after prize of the night, the best drama Emmy, along with figurines for writing and directing.

That gives it a total haul over 38 years — more than any other narrative series since the first Television Academy prize-giving in 1949, overtaking the haul of 37 won by “Frasier.” long-running comedy.

It went down to the wire in the end, as “Thrones” drew a blank in the acting categories, despite being a hot preferred and having multiple nominees, and only set the record with the last prize of the night.

Three of its stars — Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke and Maisie Williams — dominated the pre-show betting in the supporting actress category, but the statuette went to veteran Maggie Smith of “Downton Abbey.”

Peter Dinklage missed out on a supporting actor trophy as did co-star Kit Harington, the favorite for his portrayal of “Thrones” hero Jon Snow, when Ben Mendelsohn picked up the prize for Netflix family drama “Bloodline.”

“If your show doesn’t have a dragon or a white Bronco in it, go home right now,” host Jimmy Kimmel joked at the start of the three-hour broadcast, a reference to “Thrones” and the infamous car Simpson was in when he went on a wild ride through Los Angeles before his arrest.
