The lock of all locks this Emmy season is “Game of Thrones” winning Best Drama series. You can try to convince yourself fan reaction over the finale has hurt that inevitability, but you’re simply deluding yourself. The HBO pop culture landmark shattered the single-season nomination record for a series with 32. The previous record was 26 for “NYPD Blue” in 1994. It’s won this category the last three seasons it was eligible. A fourth and final win is pretty much a given. [Updated August 14]
