“Loner Throner” Kit Harington on Being the Sole Game of Thrones Golden Globe Nomination

Jon Snow

Winter may still be yet to come, but Game of Thrones continues its awards demolition, whatever the season (of Earth or of television). However, among the plethora of awards shows, the Golden Globes have never really been GOT’s jam. While it’s been fairly regularly nominated for best series, its history of actor nominees record few and far between nominations.
