The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards are mere days away, and as a highlight of the Hollywood awards circuit thanks to the more relaxed feel than the palpable nominee nerves seen at the very formal Oscars, we’re counting down until the stars hit the red carpet for the ceremony on Sunday, September 22.
Celebrating the best work in television over the past year, the Emmys are as enjoyable as many of the nominated shows — particularly the sitcoms — are to watch, with many memorable and meme-able moments sure to take place both during the awards show and on the red carpet prior to the ceremony.
Case in point: this year, in a move that could have come directly out of her Game of Thrones character’s, Ser Brienne of Tarth, playbook, actress Gwendoline Christie nominated herself for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, and the nomination was accepted. Game of Thrones show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss couldn’t have scripted that better themselves.
Indeed, Christie’s unorthodox power move method of nomination is completely in line with this year’s ceremony, which is expected to be dominated by the groundbreaking HBO epic. Christie’s nomination is just one of a record 32 nominations for Game of Thrones at this year’s Emmys.
Along with Game of Thrones, a raft of other exciting shows and talent have been nominated at the Emmys this year including Beyoncé’s Netflix tour documentary, Homecoming, which may mean an appearance from Queen Bey on the red carpet — and possibly on Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theater stage, where the Emmys will be held — with a gong in hand.
