These Three 'Game of Thrones' Stars<br />Nominated Themselves for Emmys HBO’s show ’Game of Thrones’ recently swept the Emmy nominations with a total of 32 nominations. Among them were Alfie Allen for<br />outstanding supporting actor in a drama series, Gwendoline Christie for outstanding<br />supporting actress in a drama series and Carice van Houten for outstanding<br />guest actress in a drama series. These ‘Game of Thrones’ stars were not<br />entered by HBO for Emmy consideration,<br />but rather paid the $225 entry fee themselves. HBO did however successfully nominate<br />Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey,<br />Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams. It is not uncommon for shows with a multitude<br />of series regulars to limit their choices, but it is uncommon that those who self-submit<br />themselves end up receiving the nomination.
