- At the 2019 Emmys, Emilia Clarke missed out on getting an award for the final season of "Game of Thrones."
- It marked four Emmy losses for Clarke for the HBO series since 2013.
- "Thrones" Fans were very upset, especially since her costar Peter Dinklage won best supporting actor for the series.

Emilia Clarke lost out on outstanding leading actress in a drama series at the 2019 Emmys Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
It was the star's fourth nomination for "Game of Thrones," and the first time in the lead actress category.
Instead, the win went to "Killing Eve" star Jodie Comer. And while Comer has been exceptional on the BBC series, fans were pretty vocal about Clarke's loss, saying she carried much of the final season.
I can't believe Peter Dinklage won for season 8 but Emilia Clarke didn't, AS IF SHE DIDN'T CARRY THAT WHOLE SHITTY SEASON ON HER BACK.

Throughout the filming of Game Of Thrones, Emilia Clarke suffered from several brain aneurysms. A lot of times on set she thought that was her last day alive. Even still, Emilia delivered outstanding performances as Daenerys! A winner at heart. Thank you, Emilia. #Emmys pic.twitter.com/jO6Ipe8KWS
