Game of Thrones has just one more chance to achieve Emmy success as televisions best and smartest get ready for the upcoming US honours ritual.
The fictional epic, ended with a venerable climax this year, managing to glean 14 nominees in seven separate groupings.
Nominations include best drama series, along with nods in all four of the drama series acting categories.
The 32 Emmy nominations Game of Thrones received in July was the highest total for any programme in a single year.
The show has already won 10 prizes at the Creative Arts Emmys held last weekend, including awards for its casting, costumes, make-up and music.
If Game of Thrones adds just three more awards to that tally on Sunday, it will better the 12 Emmys it received in both 2015 and 2016.
