Game of Thrones has had a rough final year, with season eight receiving an intense backlash that peaked with a ridiculous petition to remake the whole bloody thing.

"I'm the 'loner Throner,' it seems," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Obviously, I'm sad I'm not going to be there with Emilia [Clarke], Peter [Dinklage], the rest of the cast, or [David Benioff and Dan Weiss]…

"Obviously, I wanted everyone to be nominated, and I feel like they should, as anyone who loves their show and loves their cast and crew would feel and want. I'm happy for my nomination, and I'd love the show to be represented [more], but it won an Emmy, and it wasn't nominated for a Globe.

The 77th Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday, January 5 at The Beverly Hilton from at 5pm PT/8pm ET in the US, or from 1am on Monday, January 6 for those of you in the UK. Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
