10) Sophie Turner – Game of Thrones (Season 6)
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
For five seasons we see Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark consistently brutalized, face both physical and psychological trauma, and experience unspeakable tragedies at the hand of her captors. By season 6 however, we see the young lady of Winterfell unleash a newfound autonomy, mend broken wounds and establish herself anew in the Seven Kingdoms. It seems almost too perfect a time for Sophie Turner to get nominated, particularly when the co-stars who actually were nominated (Emilia Clarke and Lena Headey) start to feel more static in their roles.
