Let the hate and bewilderment begin.

Bad writing aside, what did some of these actors even do to earn a nomination? Lena pretty much just stood on a balcony drinking wine and not even sure what Sophie did.

At least maise was a focal point and the male actors nominated for best supporting actor at least had moments you can point to.

Kit Harington will get up on stage and his speech will be

"I dun want it. I nevah wanted it."


Emilia Clarke might win but won't be there to accept it because "She kind of forgot about the Emmys"

Four supporting actress noms is pretty impressive.

Congrats to Cersei on her nomination.

Getting nominated for standing in a window drinking wine is pretty cool

On a less controversial note, Veep cleaned up too. If Dreyfus wins, she will set the record for most individual wins ever.

Every show/series that ends "earns" more nominations that year than it rightfully deserves. Such is the way of award presentations.

Maisie Williams needs to win.
She slayed this season.


If Lady Mormont was not nominated, Arya needs the trophy

It's a nom for the series more than the season.

She probably should've won it already.

Sounds like Return of the King winning best picture even though Fellowship of the Ring was the better movie. Lifetime achievement award.

Well when you look at the Oscar/ending ratio, return was a pretty good deal.

"And now, the nominees for Best Drink Placement:

Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation

They Call Me Mister Pibb

and Game of Thrones."

Alfie Allen got nominated for GOT and was barely in the last season and Brian Cox wasn't nominated for Succession, that is ludicrous. I'm as big a GOT fan as anyone, but the number of nominations they got was laughable for this season.

Also, Succession is more of a comedy than a drama, but I guess that went over the voters' heads.

Again, this is the final season, so they're getting everyone in there that should have earned nominations or wins and haven't.

It's doubtful he'll win, but he has been amazing in the whole series since the Reek turn in Season 2 or whichever it was.

She was amazing for the entire run. Amazing show that went out on top.

If we judge things only by the very end, we're almost always going to be disappointed.

If I die of cancer and the last year of my life is filled with pain, it will only sweeten all the years I had with my family, happy and laughing. Game of Thrones has some of the greatest episodes and seasons of all time. Enjoy the ones that you liked as many times as you want.

She looks like a gelfling there.

Sorry about your sex life....
I was in a bad car wreck in 2016, that part no longer functions unfortunately. Good joke, though!

HBO doesn't submit Gwendoline Christie (Brienne) for emmy nomination, so she submits herself and gets the nomination

Wow, that is bizarre. I didn't think this season was Christie's best work (thanks lousy writing), but her vulnerability in the post-BoW episode was powerful stuff for someone whose main job has been KILL KILL KILL DIE STANNIS SWORN TO PROTECT

Alfie Allen and Melisandre had to nominate themselves as well - her for guest role. She could win that, I love that scene with her, Arya, and the Hound.

The guy who plays Sam should have gotten a nom for the scene where Crazy Queen mentions - oh hey, I torched your family. His physical ating in that scene is phenomenal.

Her getting knighted was, I thought, the most moving scene this season.

Agree. There wasn't much memorable dialogue this season (other than unintentional comedy). But Brienne and Sam probably had the best moments for serious, non-cringe dialogue. HBO and the Davids were trying for the easiest routes by nominating bigger stars.

Funny I couldn't even finish the series...I disliked 7 so much. a better ending for the series would have been the end of 6

The season had terrible writing. Not sure how anyone gets best actor/actress giving half the season was pitch black and they were fed terrible lines.

Maybe they're getting the nods bc they sold bad acting so well?

I could've sworn this was about GOT.
