Game of Thrones did amazingly well at this morning’s Emmy announcements, snagging 23 nominations including a handful of acting nods for the cast. Today the stars, including first-time nominees Kit Harington and Maisie Williams are reacting to their Emmy nominations.
This season was a huge one for Jon Snow, who came back from the dead and lead an army in an epic battle, finishing the season off as King in the North. Harington says, “It is a serious understatement to say that I am somewhat stunned. For my work on Game of Thrones to be recognized in this way is an emotional moment for me. I could not be more humbled.”
Williams, nominated for her role as the assassin-in-training Arya, says, “I am so grateful to be a part of Game of Thrones, so to be nominated for an Emmy is beyond words, but I would like to say thank you to [author George R.R. Martin] for creating such an amazing character and to [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] and everyone associated with the show who bring Arya to life.”
Returning to the nominee game this year is Lena Headey, who reacted to her nomination by saying, “Totally overwhelmed. Thrilled for the show receiving so many nominations … Wahoo!”
Williams actually learned about her nomination on Twitter, and had a bit of a happy meltdown. Several of her co-workers joined in the Twitter celebration.
