Game of Thrones has been nominated for a whopping 32 nominations for its final season, including for Best Drama. HBO’s fantasy epic has already won 10 trophies at the Creative Arts Emmys and is the clear favorite going into Sunday’s show.

Who’s going to win big?

Most likely Game of Thrones. There’s precedent for a beloved show in its final season to sweep the Emmys – in 2014, Breaking Bad won almost every award its last season was nominated for. That means even though Season 8 got a mixed reception from fans online, it’ll probably walk away with the most accolades. According to a poll conducted by YouGov, 52% of people who watched the final season were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with it – and 72% think it deserves the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series.

The other major thing to watch out fo is whether Netflix or HBO will walk away with the most wins. HBO has been nominated for 137 awards for Thrones, along with shows like Veep and Chernobyl. Netflix has 117 nominations, including for House of Cards, Russian Doll, and Ozark.

Of course, our predictions could be wrong — you’ll have to watch the Emmys to find out.
