The nominees for the 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 in the category of best actor in a drama series, 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 nominated.
Fans responded on Twitter with a mix of outrage, sadness, and disappointment.

emilia clarke gave this speech in three languages (two that are completely fictitious) while standing in front of only a green screen, without a rehersal, and did it all in one single take — and apperently thats still not good enough for the emmys or the golden globes pic.twitter.com/iitYtD7NDX

Seriously, this is all a joke.
I love Kit you guys know that but his character was null last season (and it pains me to admit it).
THE FREAKIN WEIGHT OF THE SEASON WAS ON EMILIA’S SHOULDERS. HOW THEY DARE.— Noor-Hal 🍂🍁 (@noorhal) December 9, 2019
This is nice for Kit, but it’s a shame Emilia didn’t get one 😕 https://t.co/on96TdUIDo

Others came to 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 he lost to Billy Porter, who won for "Pose." This is Harington's first Golden Globe nomination.
The Golden Globess are scheduled to air on NBC on January 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
