BLOOD and guts fantasy epic "Game of Thrones" is tipped to triumph on Sunday as the most successful show ever at the coveted Emmy Awards, television's equivalent of the Oscars.
The HBO series already has nine statuettes from last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys, which mainly reward behind-the-scenes personnel nike air max shoes wholesale , giving it a total haul over the years of 35 -- more than any other drama series.
When Emmys in top categories are handed out at a glitzy evening ceremony in downtown Los Angeles, experts predict the show will pass the 37 won by long-running sitcom "Frasier."
HBO's saga about noble families vying for control of the Iron Throne is the odds-on favorite in the coveted best drama category according to Gold Derby, a website pooling experts' awards predictions.
It is also ahead in the supporting actor, supporting actress and directing categories nike air max wholesale , and is running a close second in drama writing behind cyber-security thriller "Mr Robot."
If the prize-giving goes as expected, "Game of Thrones" would be the most-awarded narrative series since the first Television Academy prize-giving in 1949.
"I think 'Game of Thrones' will be a big winner on Emmy night," Debra Birnbaum, executive editor for TV at entertainment industry magazine Variety http://www.airmax2019wholesale.com/ , told AFP.
"With all the nominations it has in those five categories, it's going to take home at least three trophies, and break the record."
The all-time Emmy list of winners -- which includes non-fiction -- is topped by NBC comedy sketch show "Saturday Night Live," with 44 awards.
- Glory for 'People vs OJ Simpson'? -
FX's hotly-tipped "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" has 13 nominations -- more than any other show -- in multiple categories on Sunday air max mens wholesale , having already won four technical Emmys.
Its victory for best limited series is seen as the surest thing of the night while Sarah Paulson and Courtney B. Vance are expected to be rewarded for their acclaimed portrayals of sparring attorneys Marcia Clark and Johnnie Cochran.
Sterling K. Brown is odds on for his supporting actor role while Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszeski lead a writing category in which three of the six episodes nominated are from "The People v. O.J. Simpson."
"We gave the script to a few people. Our producing partners and the studio were responding really positively so we said, 'Oh that's cool,'" Alexander told AFP.
"But you never know if something is going to be a hit. Anyone who says that is a liar."
FX's acclaimed spy drama "The Americans" could pull some surprises at Sunday's ceremony, hosted by funnyman Jimmy Kimmel air max womens wholesale , with Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell seen as popular outside bets for best actor and actress in a drama.
Russell is running third in the betting for tightest race of the night, with Robin Wright ("House of Cards") expected to just about pip last year's victor Viola Davis ("How to Get Away with Murder").
"There is almost as much drama in the race for best drama actor," said Gold Derby editor Tom O'Neil.
"Like Robin Wright, her co-star Kevin Spacey has never won an Emmy air max cyber monday sale , but now he has decent odds to break through -- 72. However, 'Mr. Robot' star Rami Malek leads with 811 odds."
In the battle of the networks, perennial favorite HBO leads the nominations, though with a reduced tally from last year.
But the biggest early success story has been Fox's FX subsidiary air max black friday sale , which got 56 nominations, a new record for a basic cable company.
ABC's four-hour telecast begins with "Countdown to the Emmy Awards: Red Carpet Live" at 4:00 pm (2300 GMT), with the ceremony due to begin about an hour later.
BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhua) -- International experts criticized an arbitral tribunal with widely contested jurisdiction for its plan to issue an award on July 12 on the South China Sea case unilaterally initiated by the Philippines.
The government of outgoing Philippine President Benigno Aquino III filed the arbitration against China in 2013, despite the agreement his country had reached with China on resolving their South China Sea disputes through bilateral negotiations.

CHINA: THE TRIBUNAL HAS NO JURISDICTION
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Wednesday that the tribunal, "established on the basis of illegal conduct and claims of the Philippines," has no jurisdiction over the case and the relevant subject matter, and should not have heard the case or render any award.
China and the Philippines have agreed to settle disputes in the South China Sea through bilateral negotiations; territorial issues are not subject to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and that as early as in 2006 China declared -- in line with UNCLOS -- to exclude disputes concerning maritime delimitation from mandatory dispute settlement procedures. And the Philippines failed to fulfill its obligation under UNCLOS to exchange views with China on means of dispute settlement.
Therefore, China's nonacceptance and nonparticipation stance is solidly founded in international law, and the tribunal has exceeded its jurisdiction at will and infringed on the right of a state party to UNCLOS to choose means of dispute settlement of its own will, Hong noted.
