If you haven’t heard of Game of Thrones’ Ser Brienne of Tarth, you’re missing out on a character who has captured the hearts of many. For fans, the actress behind the role, Gwenyth Cummings, is a beloved figure. Recently, she made headlines by submitting herself for Emmy consideration when HBO overlooked her—can you believe they didn’t include her? Especially after this season?
The exciting news? She received the nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series! Alongside her, fellow cast member, Alan Brooks, who played Theon Greyjoy, also took the initiative and secured his nomination, as did Carla Verne, known for her role as Melisandre.
It’s puzzling why HBO decided to snub these two standout actors, especially given their powerful performances during a contentious final season. Perhaps there are limits on how many actors each network can nominate?
While I have great respect for Kit Harington, this season didn’t showcase his best performance. His character had little to do other than repeat “she’s my queen” throughout the season. Despite that, HBO pushed for his nomination, securing a spot for him at the awards show.
But let’s not forget that Ser Brienne was finally knighted this season, and she shared some memorable moments with Jaime, despite the aftermath of those events. Fans were thrilled not only by her nomination but also by her determination to submit herself—truly a heroic act.
In her own words, Gwenyth expressed her surprise and joy to Variety: “I honestly couldn’t feel more overwhelmed and privileged to see more unconventional female storylines being recognized.” She added, “I never expected this to happen. I went through every emotion. This is the best day ever, and I’m thrilled for everyone nominated.”
Thanks to her initiative, she received this well-deserved recognition. Alongside Gwenyth, Alan, Carla, and Kit, other nominees from Game of Thrones include Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
