Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who played Bran on the hit show, remained in the audience, along with Liam Cunningham, who played Ser Davos; John Bradley, who played Samwell Tarly; and Conleth Hill, who played Varys.
A cut from the "Game of Thrones" actors onstage to their costars left in the audience had many fans wondering why Hempstead-Wright, Cunningham, Bradley, and Hill were stuck in their seats, until it was understood that only the nominated actors had taken the stage.
