Fans shocked at House of the Dragon actors not getting a single Emmy Awards 2023 nomination
Game of Thrones on HBO was a television show behemoth in every respect, dominating audiences, ratings, and award shows for close to ten years. It appears like House of the Dragon, the prequel series, is traveling in a similar direction. However, even though the show got nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2023 Emmy Awards, none of the actors managed to get any.
Fans are disappointed by House of the Dragon actors’ Emmy 2023 snub
HBO had put up a number of actors for various categories for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. Fans were furious at the critically acclaimed performances of Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emily Carey, Milly Alcock, and many more being brushed under the rug.
A lot of them took to Twitter to express their disappointment:
So the Emmys did not recognise the absolute fucking brilliance of Paddy Considine but the viewers absolutely will. Raise your banners for one of the greatest moments of tv EVER! #HouseoftheDragon #Emmys2023 pic.twitter.com/F3aPc9o8PM

Welp. It wouldn’t be the Emmy’s without a snub, but this one hurts. Paddy Considine’s performance as Viserys Targaryen in House of the Dragon was one of the most remarkable and unforgettable in recent memory. To not even be nominated is a crime. pic.twitter.com/LkrH8Fd9Ew
