Game of Thrones Star Gwendoline Christie Draws Comparisons to Jesus in Emmy Awards Dress

The biggest night in television is finally here as the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards are currently airing on FOX. One of the many series nominated for various awards is Game of Thrones, which scored a record-breaking 32 nominations this year. Ten of those nominations are for the cast, which includes Lena Headey, Alfie Allen, Gwendoline Christie, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, Carice van Houten, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Maisie Williams. All ten of the stars look dynamite tonight, but it's Christie's outfit that's getting the most attention. The actor known for playing Brienne of Tarth hit the purple carpet in an outfit so regal, it's making the Internet compare her to Jesus himself.
