Huh? Emilia Clark?Over Michelle Fairley? What?

They are nominated based on the episode submitted and Rains wasn't submitted.
Any idea what the reasoning behind that was?

On this I honestly have no idea personally, but my guess is that they didn't want to provide screeners of that episode ahead of the actual showing to lessen the chance of leaks.
Would have been unfair for the vast amount of actors in the show I assume.
Using Rains of Castamere would have been a 100% lock for Michelle Fairley. She definitely deserves it.
Is that because of when they were submitted? I ask because Rains is nominated for writing.

see my post above.
edit:
actually you bring up a good point so I may be wrong about why that episode wasn't submitted or if it even was submitted and they opted for Emilia instead.

So Blinkbox are preventing GoT from being on my Netflix? Well, fuck them.
Emmys are full of old voters who vote on what they're familiar with.
The guy who plays the Hound deserves an award.
Plays the Hound so well. Such a rough character that you don't know whether he's one of the good guys or bad guys.
Who knew who to root for when it was Beric vs The Hound? I was totally stumped there.. just watching a cool sword fight.

I was wrong before as Michelle was nominated for Rains so anybody's guess as to why Emilia got it over her though Emilia's episode was pretty good too.

Not sure how someone watched Michelle in that as a submission episode and not vote for her (against pretty much anything, not just Emilia), but eh, it's nice to see the show's acting getting recognition and there will always be many more great performances than nomination spots.
The actors picked for the nomination are a little tad perplexing. This wasn't Emilia's neither Dinklage's best season. And I cannot believe that Michelle Fairley and Charles Dance have yet to be nominated just once.
Pfff, this is so fake and CGI-ish that I don't know how could anyone fall for it. I mean, the Sun? on an English beach? seriously? Totes greenscreen

Diana Rigg was nominated.

I think she has a good shot too looking at that field.
That envelope opener sword thing looks pretty cool.

I don't think that's it at all. The amount of plot progression doesn't really relate to the acting. Dinklage killed it this season. All of his scenes with his father and Sansa and honestly his wedding scene is probably what got him the nomination. He was in this season quite a bit.

By far.
Charles Dance and Conleth Hill give the best performances on the show, I think.

He wasn't submitted for consideration.
By far.
Also, I can't understand how they pick such shitty extras. When the camera goes near the slaves from Yunkai (?) after they're set free by Dany, it's truly embarrassing seeing how they're all giggling like schoolgirls.
Oops must have glossed that over when I saw Emilia, well deserved.

Yeah. Either Dance doesn't care about awards or he wanted to give his co-stars a better chance.

You really think a Crown Gives you power? scene
Charles Dance really steals the scene and is so menacing. It's amazing.

Yeah, a big reason why I find it so hard to root against the Lannisters is because that entire stable of characters is so well acted. Tywin, Tyrion, Jaime, Cersei, Joffrey, and even auxiliary/unofficial 'Lannisters' like Varys, Baelish, and Pycelle are all spectacularly portrayed. It's actually kind of absurd.
My thoughts 100%. Fairley should win hands down. Best performance I've seen in a drama in quite some time for Rains of Castamere.

This scene was shown at comic con! It was cut from season 3, and Tywin is fishing. Calls Pycelle on his crap. It's a bit weird to see Tywin dressed a bit more plainly. I'm sure this will get taken down quickly so get it while it's hot!

He has the screen presence of the legends. He's surrounded by world class talent in pretty much every scene of the show, yet he chews the camera like no other. He's one regal motherfucker.
That scene right after the Battle of Blackwater, when he enters the throne room riding his horse... chills, man, chills.

Isn't there a missing character from that montage?
