The cast of Game Of Thrones have flooded social media with celebratory posts after the show received a whopping 32 Emmy nominations.

Yes, despite fans calling for the final season to be remade, it seems the stars have done enough to dominate the various categories – even if it means going against each other.

And it appears they are over joyed with the news, as they took to Instagram full of excitement.

Writing in her story, Sophie Turner (who has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series) revealed how humbled she was upon hearing the news.

The Sansa Stark star told her 14.9million followers: ‘I’m beyond humbled. I truly never thought that this would ever happen.

‘This is the best farewell to the show that has been my life for the past 10 years.’

Joining the 23-year-old in the same category is Lena Headey and Gwendoline Christie – who both shared the news online.

‘I’m just super CHUFFED and shocked and FULL of gratitude for the game changing opportunity that has been Game Of Thrones….

‘What a way to say Adios to this adventure of a lifetime .. Congrats to our INCREDIBLE CREW AND CAST.’

And Gwendoline was quick to comment, adding: ‘CONGRATULATIONS LENA!!!!!!!’

Alfie Allen, who played Theon, is up for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and confessed he ‘wasn’t expecting that.’

While Melisandre star Carice Van Houten said of her Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series nomination: ‘Whut ?!?!?

‘The summer is hot and full of surprises ! Wow, I’m very excited and proud!’
