—who portrayed Ser Brienne of Tarth, a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, on the hit series and is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series—actually had to nominateafter the network failed to do so. HBO only submitted Lena Headey , Maisie Williams , and Sophie Turner in the Supporting Actress category. Christie then forked up her own $225 self-entry fee—and ended up securing the nomination.
While it’s not uncommon for actors to self-nominate, it’s reported that it is rare they actually go on to receive a nomination. Christie isn’t the onlycastmate who had to take matters into her own hands, either: Apparently her co-stars Alfie Allen , nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and Carice van Houten , nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, also had to put themselves up for their categories as well.
