Christie has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, while Allen received a nod for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Christie's nomination in particular has been championed by fans, including in a viral tweet by sports journalist Julie DiCaro who commented: "HBO didn't submit Gwendoline Christie for an Emmy so she submitted herself and got a nomination. The nominations brought Game of Thrones’ total to 32 nominations, and a single season record of 137 for HBO, which did put its GoT stars Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner, Lena Headey and Maisie Williams up for the awards race – all of whom received nominations.
