A Girl is now an Emmy nominee! And Jon Snow is not just alive and king, he's up for an Emmy, too.

"Game of Thrones" always does well at the Emmy Awards, earning heaps of nominations for HBO and picking up several awards during the ceremonies. But this year, two new actors are on the list of nominees for their work in "Game of Thrones" Season 6 -- 19-year-old Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, and 29-year-old Kit Harington for the King in the North, Jon Snow.


Kit isn't on social media, but Maisie is, and she reacted to the announcement by retweeting the first post, then adding more herself:

Congrats! They are not alone, though. The show itself was once again nominated for the top award of Outstanding Drama Series, and there were many other nominations (see GoT's full rundown here) including for the writing, directing, and visual effects of Episode 9's "The Battle of the Bastards."

Plus, Emmy stalwarts Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, and Emilia Clarke were also nominated, and the legend that is Max von Sydow got a guest actor nod. (Sadly, there was no guest actress nomination for Bella Ramsey as Lyanna Mormont).

In total, HBO and "Game of Thrones" once again had the most nominations of any network or series, with 94 for HBO, and 23 for GoT.

Here are the acting nomination categories for the GoT stars:
