Emilia Clarke And Kit Harington Had A Moment At Netflix’s Emmys After Party

On screen, Jon Snow and Daenerys didn’t have the happiest end. But off-screen, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington are still as tight as ever. The Game of Thrones co-stars were photographed having a sweet moment at Netflix’s Emmys after party. The two talked and hugged. If only Game of Thrones had this kind of jolly ending…
*EMMA MCINTYREGETTY IMAGESWhile Game of Thrones won best drama series at the Emmys, neither Clarke nor Harington won their individual nominations for best leading actress or actor in a drama series.
Clarke spoke on the red carpet to Variety about Game of Thrones‘ controversial ending and the backlash against it. She’s flattered people hated it that much. “You know what? It was profoundly flattering is what it was,” she started. “Because when someone cares that much that they’re ready to make such a noise about how they believe the characters should’ve been finished and how the story should’ve gone, that’s just enormously flattering. That just shows how much everybody loved it.”
Clarke also addressed her own feelings about leaving her character of Daenerys behind now that the show is really done, along with her Game of Thrones cast and crew family. “We’ve had enough space now since filming, since it coming out, since the premiere, and all of that stuff,” she said. “It’s been all of these different stages. Now, here we are, and it feels like everyone’s had some time to cool down a little bit.”
