Just like Jon Snow taking his station in the Night’s Watch, Kit Harington will have a lonely time at the Golden Globes this year. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the 32-year-old actor has spoken out on his nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series -- Drama (the only one Game of Thrones received overall), and though he is honored, he seems to miss his cast to celebrate with.

The Thrones star told the publication, “I just imagine myself sitting down at a table all by myself as the 'loner Throner!’” Though he doesn't seem to know if his co-stars will attend the event, he couldn’t be more excited to honor the divisive final season of the show that changed his life forever.

Harington divulged, “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.”

“Every time I go to say goodbye to this show, something comes along that reminds me of the story of it,” the Emmy nominee continued. “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."

Congratulations, Kit!
