The nominees for the upcoming 2020 Golden Globe awards were announced Monday morning, and some were intrigued to see the final season of “Game of Thrones” land just one nomination. Kit Harington (who played Jon Snow) has been recognized for the best actor in a drama series category, and Emilia Clarke fans are expressing their disappointment.
Clarke’s character Daenerys Targaryen underwent the most drastic character transformation on the final season of “Game of Thrones.” Though the series hasn’t historically won many Golden Globe awards, many fans found it surprising that Clarke wasn’t given a nomination.
Fans responded on Twitter with a mix of outrage, sadness, and disappointment.
Others came to Kit Harington’s defense, or simply celebrated his nomination
Clarke was nominated for best actress in a drama at the Emmy Awards earlier this year, where she lost to Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve”). Harington was also nominated for best actor at the 2019 Emmys, but also lost (to Billy Porter, who won for “Pose”). This is Harington’s first Golden Globe nomination.
The Golden Globes Awards will air live on NBC on January 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
