The Game of Thrones actor put herself up for an Emmy nomination—and got it.
There was an off-screen death in Game of Thrones, Gwendoline Christie revealed at Comic-Con this weekend“I wanted the possibility of being recognized for everything that character represents, for what she’s meant to me and for the part I feel she’s played, in some small way, in the burgeoning landscape we have in entertainment of seeing women in a different way,” she said. “A more realistic way and a more unconventional way.
Here's why this is a big deal: Networks are generally the entities that submit actors for Emmy awards. According to the, HBO entered Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, and Maisie Williams for this year's race—but it did not put forth Christie, Alfie Allen , or Carice van Houten ; however, all three of those performers received nominations.
