Actor Kit Harington has branded himself as the “loner throner” after being the only “Game of Thrones” star to get a Golden Globes 2020 nomination.
Harington has been nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series/Drama, and will compete against Brian Cox for ‘Succession’, Rami Malek for ‘Mr. Robot’, Tobias Menzies for ‘The Crown’ and Billy Porter for ‘Pose’. The nominations for the 2020 Golden Globes were announced on Monday.
“I’m the ‘loner throner’, it seems,” Harington told hollywoodreporter.com about his nomination, the only one that the popular fantasy show received for its eighth and final season.

“I just imagine myself sitting down at a table all by myself as the loner throner,” he added.
Harington’s nomination marks the actor’s first ever Golden Globes nomination. He says he was at home in London when the nominations were announced.
“I didn’t expect to be nominated. I thought the show might be, but I was just at home, learning lines, and then my publicists called. It was very unexpected and wonderful,” he said.
“Every time I go to say goodbye to this show, something comes along that reminds me of the story of it. This is one of those moments. I have to say thanks to the HFPA for nominating me. We spent a lot of years with this thing. Obviously, I dearly loved it. I loved every moment of it. I loved the character. It’s a weird feeling, but I feel kind of happy for him, the character, if that makes sense,” added the actor, who essayed role of Jon Snow in the show.
