All the latest news on the Emmy Awards 2019. Nominations, reactions, and expectations.

Sophie Turner has broken her silence on an exciting achievement. The former Game Of Thrones actress reflected on her time playing Sansa Stark as she revealed she was “humbled” to be nominated in the Emmy Awards 2019 for her role in the HBO drama.

The star is in the running to win the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series accolade at the ceremony. Sophie’s co-stars Gwendoline Christie, 40, Lena Headey, 45, and Maisie Williams, 22, are also nominated for the same award.

Sophie Turner, who’s also a first-time nominee, responded to the news the day after the nominations were announced. “I’m beyond humbled,” the Sansa Stark star wrote in her Instagram Story. “I truly never thought that this would ever happen. This is the best farewell to the show that has been my life for the past 10 years.” She also tipped a hat to “queens” and fellow nominees, Maisie Williams, Gwendoline Christie, and Lena Headey.

Her husband, Joe Jonas, also broke the Internet silence to congratulate her. “So incredibly proud of you,” he wrote in his Instagram Story.
