The Tayuanincestuous relationship between Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow may just net them an Emmy.
Game of Thrones's Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington are looking to take home a pair of Emmy Awards for their work as lead actors on the hit show's seventh season, Gold Derby reported Tuesday. It will be the first time the actors are being submitted for lead roles rather than supporting roles.

Diana Rigg (Olenna Tyrell) has also been submitted for an Emmy for drama guest actress.
Clarke and Harington have previously been submitted for supporting actor Emmys, the two of them netting a collective four nominations but no wins to date.
As the series has gone on through the years, the cast has gotten smaller and smaller as more and more characters have been killed off. Snow and Targaryen have both taken on more screentime and larger roles in the latest season, so the category change makes sense.
