In case this still has to be said: This article contains Game of Thrones spoilers.
Who could forget the ending to Game of Thrones’ final season? In fact, it’s still raw. In particular, who could forget when Bran Stark won the Iron Throne, despite having one of the most bizarre (and frankly undeserving) storylines of all the characters. Well as it turns out, the North (read: Emmys organisers) remembers.
During the ceremony, every major GoT character walked the stage to farewell the series for one final time. One character who wasn’t invited on stage? Bran The Broken, AKA THE KING OF THE NORTH!!
Twitter had a field day with this one.
BRAN THE BROKEN DOESN’T EVEN GET TO TAKE THE STAGE WITH THE THRONES CAST?! REEK IS UP THERE BUT BRAN ISN’T?!?!

Question: “Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?”

Bran is the actual winner of the Game of Thrones and they literally did not put him on the stage????

And many were quick to point out, it’s not like actor Isaac Hempstead Wright wasn’t invited to the ceremony – he was simply seated with lesser-known cast members.
So they made bran KING and he’s not even up there with them? #Emmys pic.twitter.com/7GfrPz4Xbl

I’m going to need a full week to recover from this.
