Game of Thrones was once again nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Drama last night, and once again, it didn’t win. Here’s what it was up against:
- The Handmaid’s Tale (WINNER)
- Game of Thrones
- Stranger Things
- This Is Us
- The Crown
The result isn’t a surprise, although some fans were still miffed. Game of Thrones has been nominated in this category for four years in a row, and it’s never won.

Also this…
…and this:
Everyone from the Game of Thrones cast and crew was wore black, announcing their solidarity with and support for women in Hollywood who have been abused and discriminated against by people in power, an issue that exploded last year following revelations about mega-producer Harvey Weinstein. Clarke commented on the movement at the afterparty:
Game of Thrones won’t air any new episodes this year, so it won’t feature in the next Golden Globes. After that, though…
