Emilia Clarke lost out on outstanding leading actress in a drama series at the 2019 Emmys Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
It was the star’s fourth nomination for “Game of Thrones,” and the first time in the lead actress category.
Instead, the win went to “Killing Eve” star Jodie Comer. And while Comer has been exceptional on the BBC series, fans were pretty vocal about Clarke’s loss, saying she carried much of the final season.

Though Clarke didn't win, fans thanked the actress for the years she spent bringing Daenerys, Mother of Dragons, to life on screen.
“If you don’t succeed, laugh until you do” - Emilia Clarke. You did succeed. Thank you for bringing us (for me, YES, and sure for many others) the most iconic character we have ever seen on television. That’s no easy task and you mastered it just like you did w/ your dragons ❤️🐉 pic.twitter.com/C8KyOlkCAy

Throughout the filming of Game Of Thrones, Emilia Clarke suffered from several brain aneurysms. A lot of times on set she thought that was her last day alive. Even still, Emilia delivered outstanding performances as Daenerys! A winner at heart. Thank you, Emilia. #Emmys pic.twitter.com/jO6Ipe8KWS
