The Oscar winner played two parts - a family matriarch and her freaky doppelganger ? in Jordan Peele’s super creepy horror film “Us,” but Nyong’o was left off the list of nominees nonetheless. It’s a far cry from the days when star Julia Louis-Dreyfus received a nod at five consecutive Golden Globes from 2013 to 2017. Unlike “Thrones,” the political satire didn’t even receive one nomination. Like “Game of Thrones,” the long-running “Veep” is in its final year of eligibility. Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Lena Headey, Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie also got shut out.
That means “Game of Thrones” wasn’t nominated for best drama series, while Peter Dinklage - who won the Emmy for best supporting actor earlier this year - didn’t get recognized either. Kit Harington, who played brooding hero Jon Snow, accounted for the wildly popular HBO series’ lone nomination, with a nod for best actor in a drama series.
