Emilia Clarke lost her final chance Sunday to win an Emmy Award for playing Daenerys Targaryen on “Game of Thrones” ― and fans on Twitter were ticked.
Clarke was beaten by Jodie Comer of “Killing Eve” for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. That made it four defeats in four nominations for Clarke, with the previous three in the best supporting category.
Clarke’s loyalists protested:
EMILIA. CLARKE. WAS. ROBBED. #Emmys pic.twitter.com/b2fXEaKJhc
