LOS ANGELES, Sept 22 (Reuters) – “Game of Thrones” nominee Peter Dinklage and series co-star Gwendoline Christie, “Hamilton” musical creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and British writer-actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge were among early arrivals for television’s Emmy awards on Sunday, where HBO’s medieval fantasy series aims to crown its final season with a fourth best drama series statuette despite an array of new contenders. “This is Us” star Sterling K. Brown and “Saturday Night Live” comic Kate McKinnon also walked the purple carpet as nominees and presenters made their way into the Los Angeles ceremony in sweltering heat on Sunday. On a night that could see old favorites prevailing over the biggest lineup of first-time nominees in eight years, HBO political satire “Veep” and returning Emmy champ “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” from Amazon Studios, along with their stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Rachel Brosnahan, are seen as frontrunners in the contest for best comedy series.
