The “Battle of the Bastards” face-off is being pushed heavily in top Emmy categories, according to the ballots posted online Monday. In fact, “Bastards” is the only episode showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss selected to represent the series in the writing category. The episode is also entered, among others, for directing, editing, visual effects, and sound mixing, as well. The ballots reveal not only which episodes are submitted in top categories, but which actors were submitted in the performance categories as well. There are even descriptions — albiet super brief — of the final two episodes of the season, something that HBO is not otherwise releasing this year.
