Emmys kicks off with 'Game of Thrones' tipped for glory

Television's star-studded 68th Emmy Awards ceremony got underway Sunday with "Game of Thrones" tipped to become the most decorated fictional show in history.

HBO's fantasy epic series picked up nine statuettes at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys, which reward behind-the-scenes achievement, giving it a total haul over the years of 35 -- more than any other drama series.

But the glitzy annual ceremony in downtown Los Angeles, when the Emmys in top categories will be handed out, could see it pass the 37 won by long-running sitcom "Frasier."
