LOS ANGELES — Like baseball, the Emmy Awards are a game of statistics: Long-running shows are able to pile up TV’s top awards and new records year after year.

The 66th prime-time Emmys, airing at 8 p.m. EDT Monday on NBC with host Seth Meyers, are full of such possibilities, including a fifth best comedy series trophy for “Modern Family” that would tie it with all-time sitcom champ “Frasier.”

The ceremony, with host Seth Meyers, moved from its usual Sunday home in September to avoid conflicts with “NBC Sunday Night Football” and MTV’s Video Music Awards.

There’s also a chance for new stats this time around, the result of changes in how programs are delivered and watched.

Netflix’s freshman comedy series nominee “Orange is the New Black” and sophomore drama series contender “House of Cards” could score breakthroughs as the first online series to capture top Emmy Awards.

If “The Big Bang Theory” star Jim Parsons is crowned as best comedy actor, it will be his fourth Emmy and put him in league with Kelsey Grammer and Michael J. Fox.

A victory for “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston would give him a tie with four-time best drama actor champ Dennis Franz.
