Welcome back to another year of Watchers on the Wall celebrations for our favorite show! Every year, Game of Thrones fans gather and choose the best of the best from the latest season. That’s right, it’s up to you to decide, and it all starts now!
How does it work? The initial suggestions for nominees in every award category come from you, the fans, and run-off voting determines which top five win the final nomination in their category. The final fives battle it out in each category, readers choose our ultimate season 7 winners, and eventually we announce the winners in a live Watchers on the Wall Awards ceremony packed with fun and giveaways!
For a more detailed explanation of the process, jump to the Rules & Process below.
Let’s get to it! The 2017 categories are:
Best Episode: You do NOT need to make any nominations in this category- all seven episodes of season 7 go into the category final!
Your favorite leading performers, the ones who hold up the show and their storylines:
Best Leading Actress
Best Leading Actor
The supporting categories, suitable for regular/recurring Game of Thrones actors who support the leads:
Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress
It can be tough to decide who is a lead and who is a supporting actor on GoT, since this can vary between seasons and it’s always been a fine line, with such a big cast. We’ll use your votes as our way of deciding, and things like screentime to help, should there be ties.
Next are the guest categories, for the short-term scene-stealers and amazing performers who snag your attention even with a limited amount of screen time. Who qualifies for this? There are TWO QUALIFICATIONS the performer must fit: actors and actresses with credited appearances in 4 episodes or fewer in Season 7, and no more than 15 episodes total for the complete series of GoT. Check the performer’s credits on IMDB if you’re uncertain if they qualify. People nominated for this who don’t qualify will be dropped into the Supporting pool of potential nominations.
Best Guest Actor
Best Guest Actress
For fun this year, we’re adding in a new category:
Best New Costume! Celebrating the incredible costume design work of Game of Thrones, in this category you’ll nominate your favorite new costumes from season 7! (This is one category, not divided by gender.)
Next: our quote categories celebrate the best of the words in season 7, and of course the dialogue’s delivery! These categories are:
All-Around Best Quote: the most brilliant and memorable quotes from Game of Thrones season 7!
Funniest Quote: A funny/clever line of dialogue or short exchange that you find humorous.
Best Speech: what it says on the tin.
We love to award individual awesome scenes throughout the season, not just the Best Episode so we have several types:
Best Visual Effects Scene: Dragonfire, wights, and White Walkers, oh my! So many to choose from, think long and hard. Nominate the scene that you think best demonstrated the show’s legendarily amazing effects. Be specific (not just episode titles or battle names, because battles take up half the episode sometimes)!
Best Death Scene: There is only one god, and his name is Death. On Game of Thrones, anyway. Choose your favorite death scene!
Funniest Scene: An entire scene that tickles your funny bone the most.
Best Dramatic Scene: the scene with the dramatic moments that had you glued to the screen and begging for more. The very best of Game of Thrones.
Action categories can present a little difficulty in categorization! So we have two distinct categories- one for smaller-scale fights and skirmishes, and one for the big episode-consuming battles.
Best Fight: smaller-scale fights, 1 on 1, small groups, etc.
Best Battle: large-scale battles
*Please be specific! But if you’re not sure which category your choice belongs in, nominate the scene you have in mind anyway and we’ll figure it out where it belongs. It’s all in good fun!*
Post your list of nominees in comments below, with the categories/nominees clearly labeled. You’re permitted to submit more than one nominee per category in this initial submission process. Go on and have fun, and have your choices in by next Thursday, October 5th, at 12PM Eastern Time!
For our newer readers, here is the complete run-down. #1 is especially important as it pertains to the nominating starting today!
The Rules & Process
Phase 1- Initial Gathering of Nominees: Please submit your nominees ONLY in the Comments section below. Please make your nominations with the categories they’re for clearly labeled in Comments.
You may use more than one post, as many as you need, or if you decide to add more nominations at a later time, that’s fine. You can also nominate more than one performer or scene for an award in this initial submission-gathering process!
*People have very different opinions on whether an actor is supporting or lead, so it’s important to label your nominations carefully! Ultimately, a performer can win a best actor/supporting nomination in only one category, and it will be in the one in which they gained the most votes. Using the submission ballots, storylines and season 7 screen time as a guide, the determination of placing a performer into lead versus supporting will ultimately be at WotW’s discretion.*
Phase 2- First round Preliminary Poll: After everyone has posted their nomination submissions, the pool of info will be sorted into categories by the WotW staff and volunteer community members. Each category will then have a run-off poll. The top five vote-getters in each category win the nominations.
There may be some categories where they aren’t five noms to begin with. They’ll skip this round and go right to phase 3!
Phase 3- Final Round Voting: A second round of polls will determine the winner of each finalized category.
The winners of the Watchers on the Wall Awards will be announced on one night, on a date to be determined in the near future.
Greatjon of Slumber is helping out with the vote sorting and polls, so we’d like to give him a huge thanks!
We’ll keep these comments open until Thursday, October 5th, at 12PM Eastern Time to accept initial nominations. We’ll count up and sort the votes, and soon after that, we’ll start the preliminary voting polls.
Put your thinking helms on and get to nominating!
Yay! I love this! Now it’s off to choose my nominees…
But were there any qualifying “Guest” actresses this season?
PS If I’m not too late…. Hodor!?
Ten Bears,
Let me answer my own question about “Guest” Actress: I believe Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont) still qualifies, as would Aisling Franciosi (Lyanna Stark.)
I wish Megan Parkinson (Alys Karstark, aka the future Mrs. Tormund Giantsbane) had been featured in more than one brief scene.
Notes:
Diana Rigg went over the limit to qualify as she got to 18 episodes for the series.
Ellie Kendrick has also gone over with 16 episodes.

She was great and I have to choose her. Lena had a great scene in the dungeon but the rest of her season was limited and rather ‘one note’ and one ‘smug-faced’ imo.
Leading Actor: Kit Harington
no contest
Support Actor: NKW
Supporting Actress: Sophie Turner
I can’t believe I’d select her anymore than some of you would believe I would. I always said that it wasn’t the Sansa character I disliked as much as I had issue with Sophie’s performance. I ate crow multiple times after episodes this season giving her applause. From my perspective she achieved a level I never expected from her so I have to ‘award’ her my nomination.
Guest Actor: Jim Broadbent
Guest Actress: Indira Varma (she qualifies)
New Costume: Daenerys’ white coat!!
All-around quote:
“I’m not gonna swear an oath I can’t uphold. Talk about my father if you want, tell me that’s the attitude that got him killed. But when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies. And lies won’t help us in this fight.” – Jon
Funniest quote:
“This is Jon Snow… He’s king in The North.” – Davos
“I came down here to brood over my failure to predict the Greyjoy attack. You’re making it difficult. You look a lot better brooding than I do. You make me feel like I’m failing at brooding over failing.” – Tyrion
“Men shit themselves when they die. Didn’t they teach you that at fancy lad school?” – Bronn
“And you need to convince the one with the dragons or the one who fucks her brother?” – Tormund
Best Speech: “So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.” – Daenerys
Visual Effects Scene: M7 (6), Daenerys & dragons vs NK and his army
Death Scene:
Olenna Tyrell simply for owning it.
I’ll nominate Littlefinger’s as well because it was so satisfying

Dramatic Scene: Raeghar/Lyanna marriage with AeJon & Daenerys ‘coupling’ with Bran’s words
Best Fight: Arya & Brienne sparring
Best Battle: FoF2 “loot train attack”
Man, the female characters were kinda sparse this season. Here’s all the ones I can think of in the appropriate categories.
Leading Actress:
Emilia Clarke
Lena Heady
Sophie Turner
Maisie Williams
Supporting Actress:
Diana Rigg
Carice van Houten
Ellie Kendrick
Hannah Murray
Gwendoline Christie
Guest Actress:
Indira Varma
Gemma Whelan
Rosabell Laurenti-Sellers
Bella Ramsey
There are only a couple other actresses I can think of who can fit in the guest category but I don’t think there was anything they did to recommend them for nomination, unfortunately.
I flirted with putting Indira Varma and Gemma Whelan in supporting rather than guest (which they both barely qualify for). But I don’t want Varma going up against Diana Rigg, as I think they both deserve wins, so I put Varma in guest.

Best leading actor: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Best supporting actor: Alfie Allen
Best supporting actress: Sophie Turner
Best guest actor: Jim Broadbent

Best quote: “You left us bare for the vultures and the vultures came and tore us apart” – Cersei.
Funniest quote: “He really was a cunt, wasn’t he?” – Olenna.
Best speech: I honestly can’t decide between Sansa’s ‘trial’ for Littlefinger, Cersei’s monologue to Ellaria and Tyene and Daenerys’ “I’ve been sold like a broodmare…” speech to Jon.
Best visual effects scene: The Loot Train Battle, specifically the one-shot scene of Bronn making his way to the Scorpion. Also, Viserion bringing the Wall down was insane.
Best death scene: Littlefinger.
Funniest scene: The Hound and Tormund in Beyond the Wall.
Best dramatic scene: Cersei and Tyrion one on one in The Dragon and the Wolf.
Best fight: Either Brienne sparring with Arya (not sure if you can count this because it wasn’t technically a fight) or Theon vs the Ironborn man in the finale.

All Around Best Quote: Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last. The enemy always wins, but we still need to fight him.
Funniest Quote: This one’s been killed six times, you don’t hear him bitching about it.
Best Speech: You’re wondering why I brought you all here. After all, we just had a feast. Since when did old Walder give us two feasts in a single fortnight? Well, it’s no good being lord of the Riverlands if you can’t celebrate with your family. That’s what I say. I’ve gathered every Frey that means a damn thing, so I can tell you my plans for this Great House now that winter has come. First, a toast. No more of that Dornish horse piss. This is the finest Arbor gold. Proper wine, for proper heroes. Stand together. Not you. I’m not wasting good wine on a damn woman. Maybe I”m not the most pleasant man, I admit it, but I’m proud of you lot. You’re my family. The men that helped me slaughter the Starks at the Red Wedding. Yes, yes. Cheer. Brave men, all of you. Butchering a woman pregnant with a baby. Cut the throat of a mother of five. Slaughter your guests after inviting them into your home. But you didn’t slaughter ever one of the Starks. No, no. That was your mistake. You should have ripped them all out, root and stem. Leave one wolf alive, and the sheep are never safe. When people ask you what happened hear, tell them the North remembers. Tell them winter came for House Frey.

Other categories:
Lead Actor:
Peter Dinklage
NCW
Kit Harington
Isaac Hempstead-Wright
John Bradley
(Bradley is debatable, I guess, but even though he is a supporting actor in the series, he was almost always the most significant character in a scene, and his storyline ended up being kind of significant).
Supporting Actor:
Alfie Allen
Iain Glen
Aidan Gillen
Jacob Anderson
Rory McCann
Conleth Hill
Liam Cunningham
Jerome Flynn
(That’s going to be murder to narrow down).
Guest Actor:
Jim Broadbent

Richard Dormer
Paul Kaye
Pilou Asbaek
Best Fight:
Arya and Brienne in Episode 704
Polar bear vs. the Magnificent 7 in Episode 706
Bronn vs. the Dothraki rider in 704 (piecing together the charging at each other, and then Bronn’s running to the scorpion and using it).
Grenn vs. goldcloaks (not much of a fight but not much competition here…)
Action sequence:
Euron’s attack on Yara’s ship
The taking of Casterly Rock
The Loot Tr- I mean, Field of Fire
The Ice Lake sequence (is there a cool name for that yet?)
Best Comedic scene:
Conversation between Jaime, Bronn and Dickon before the battle
Bedpan/cafeteria sequence at the Citadel in the premiere
Broadbent checking on a healed Jorah (“Must be the climate”)
Davos selling fermented crab to soldiers
Arya confronting the Winterfell guards
Funniest line:
“You must be very wise by now” – Olenna (Episode 703).

I’m sure there are more but some I can’t quite get the words right in my memory so I’ll leave it for others to come up with.
Best Dramatic scene:
The Hound burying the father and daughter he abandoned (love that scene).
Grey Worm and Missandei’s bedroom scene

Cersei emotionally torturing Ellaria in the cell
Olenna’s final scene
Jon & Dany in the cave

“Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.” – Diana Rigg
Man, blanking on others, sure others will recall some more great ones.
Best Death (I’m going to interpret this scene broadly to include “final” scenes since some deaths were onscreen and there’s not category for “best scene implying perpetual emotional torment” for Ellaria).
Olenna
Ellaria & Tyene
Littlefinger
Randyll & Dickon Tarly
Thoros
That’s just the thing. I loved Michelle Clapton’s work throughout most of the show’s run, but I didn’t like any of her new creations for season 7.
Hodor Targaryen,
Forgot one:
Supporting Actress:
Nathalie Emmanuel
Can’t believe I forgot about her, loved her scene with Greyworm in “Stormborn.”
Exactly. If people don’t like the thing people are popularly nominating- well, get on it, choose your own nominee while the submissions are open!
Best New Costume:
Jorah’s post-yellow-shirt outfit.
I’m so bad with costumes but even I thought he looked pretty good. And it had such a classic look to live up to.
I’m going to nominate Tom Hopper for Best Guest Actor, and then do more nominations later.
Sue the Fury,
Hmmm… I just thought that perhaps it was simply overlooked when nominating. I quite obviously wasn’t responding negatively regarding his thoughts of the costume and I also didn’t expect that a choice was withheld due to the reason given. >.>
Let’s build a strong base for initial voting: I nominate …
Best Leading Actress: Lena Headey, Sophie Turner
Best Leading Actor: Kit Harington
Best Supporting Actress: Diana Rigg, Hannah Murray
Best Supporting Actor: Kristofer Hivyu, Rory McCann
Now, with your rules this is a huge category, so let’s nominate a few people:

Best Visual Effects Scene: Drogon at the lamely named Loot Train Battle. The ash corpses! The flames!
tied with
Jon petting Drogon, purring like a kitten. Aaaawwww!
Best Death Scene: Olenna
Funniest Scene: Tormund and The Hound beyond The Wall.
Best Dramatic Scene: Cersei and Tyrion one on one.
Best Fight: Arya and Brienne
Best Battle: Loot Train

Best Leading Actress: Lena Headey
Best Leading Actor: Alfie Allen (incredible, as always)
Best Supporting Actor: Rory McCann

Best Speech: Olenna Tyrell “I’d hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes blood red, skin purple. Must have been horrible for you, as a Kingsguard, as a father. It was horrible enough for me ― a shocking scene. Not at all what I intended. Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me“. “The Queen’s Justice”
Diana Rigg kills it!
or
Theon’s speech to his soon to be men on the beach. “The Dragon and the Wolf”
I don’t know what it is with Alfie Allen (yes, I do, it’s called outstanding talent) but the way he approached those men and addressed them on that beach just touched me. It’s always so real it hurts. How seemingly vulnerable and nervous Theon was and yet, all the same he was clearly totally honest and steadfast, well, damn, but Alfie just pulled it off 100%. “We’re gonna find her, and we’re going to get her back.”
Best Visual Effects Scene: Viserion dies and slides into the icy water. “Beyond the Wall”
or
The Loot Train Attack with Drogon “Spoils of War”
Best Death Scene: Littlefinger.
Funniest Scene: Dothraki warrior gets impaled by the dragon crossbow “Spoils of War”
or
Davos presenting Jon Snow “The Queen’s Justice”
or
Theon smiling triumphantly up at Harrag after receiving the groin kicks, “The Dragon and the Wolf”
Best Dramatic Scene: Theon and Jon’s conversation in the throne room “The Dragon and the Wolf”.
That was soooo good. Again, Alfie Allen just blows me away and he lifts any actor he’s working with, I think. So well acted, so well written (a rarity this season, imo) and just, ugh, good!
Best Fight: Theon vs. Harrag, episode 7 “The Dragon and the Wolf”.

Best battle: Euron sea battle, Loot train battle
Some additional scenes worthy of nominations that I forgot to mention in my original post:
Best fight:
Theon v. Harrag from episode 7
Best visual effect:
– Viserion went down.
– Drogon’s dragonpit arrival.
Best dramatic scenes:
– Ellaria, Cersei, and Tyene. Tough to watch.
– The end of the sea battle. Euron had Yara with a knife on her throat and he taunted Theon to get her. Theon, triggered by the horrific dismemberments happening all around him, jumped overboard. Heartcrushing stuff.
Sue the Fury,
Yeah, I assumed Tom Hopper would be a shoe-in here. In limited screen time, he unexpectedly made me care about Dickon and feel bad that he chose to die with his dad.

That is one phenomenal coat.
All-Around Best Quote:
Davos: This is Jon Snow. He’s King in the North.
Funniest Quote: (Are we allowed to go this long? I just cannot narrow it down! The entire TorDor interchange was just too brilliant.)
Tormund: Were your born mean or you just hate wildlings?
Sandor: I could not give two shits about wildlings. Gingers I hate.
Tor: Gingers are beautiful. Kissed by fire. Just like you.
Dor: Don’t point your fucking finger at me.
Tor: Did you trip into the fire when you were a baby?
Dor: I didn’t trip. I was pushed.
Tor: Ever since, you’ve been mean.
Dor: Fuck off.

Tor: Dick?
Dor: Cock.
Tor: Ah, dick. I like it.
Dor: Bet you do.
Tor: Nope, it’s pussy for me. I have a beauty waiting for me back in Winterfell. If I ever get back there. Yellow hair, blue eyes. Tallest woman you’ve ever seen. Almost as tall as you.

My votes for Season 7:
Best Episode: Episode 4 – Spoils of War, because the battle was shot beautifully. Amazing camerawork.
Best Leading Actress: Emilia Clarke, by a landslide
Best Leading Actor: Kit Harrington
Best Supporting Actor: Rory McCann (Davos was close, Hound wins this year)…Pilou Aesbek comes dead last – after the Night King
Best Supporting Actress: I guess Nathalie Emmanuel, but none were great
Best Guest Actor: Richard Dormer – pretty sure he’s been in less than 15 episodes. I loved David Bradley but I’m pretty sure he’s been in 15 episodes.
Best Guest Actress: I can’t think of any. I’ll have to say Bella Ramsey
Best New Costume: Jon’s KITN garb w/cloak. I’d totally wear that to work. Count me in the minority that really liked Dany’s white tiger fur.
Best Quotes:
“May it serve you well, and your children after you.” – Ser Jorah
“You’re not dying today, Ser Jorah.” – Samwell
“They’ll all come to see you for what you are.” – Jon
“I think you know of whom I speak?” – Davos
“Ser Bronn of whatever nameless shitheap you’re from, with a bag full of gold, complaining about not getting paid.” – Jaime
Sam’s rant about 15,782 shits to Gilly was funny.
Funniest Quote: “These maesters, they set me to the task of preserving that man’s window counting and annulments and bowel movements for all eternity, while the secret to defeating the Night King is probably sitting on some dusty shelf somewhere, completely ignored.” He continues, “But that’s all right, isn’t it? We can all become slathering murderous imbeciles enthralled to evil incarnate as long as we can have access to the full records of High Septon Maynard’s 15,782 shits.”
Best Speech: Davos talking in the Dragonstone keep about banding together when they first meet Daenerys.
Best Visual Effects Scene: There were numerous awesome dragon scenes this season but the best was when Drogon lands and skips over screaming to check out Jon.
Best Death Scene: Randyll and Dickon getting torched, because Littlefinger’s whole Winterfell plot was so stupid. I refuse to vote for that one.
Funniest Scene: The bickering of the SWAT team as Episode 6 opens beyond the wall.
Best Dramatic Scene: Easily Jon and Dany in episode 6 when Jon wakes up.
Best Fight: Viserion getting hit with the javelin and then crashing – amazing effects.
Best Battle: Spoils of War – Dothraki/Drogon vs. the Lannister Army
Lead Actress: Lena Headey, Sophie Turner

Ten Bears,
Damn, I forgot about Dickon as a guest actor. For a recast, he did a great job. I liked both guys who played Dickon but I think Hopper was better. He looked more like a soldier.
Best Leading Actress – Lena Headey & Emilia Clark (my Kweens!)
Best Leading Actor – Nikolaj Coster Waldau & Peter Dinklage
Best Supporting Actor – Aiden Gillen (bravo, LF, bravo…), Isaac Hempstead Wright (amazing job showing the total WEIRDNESS of the 3eyeraven…) & Iain Glen
Best Supporting Actress – Gwen Christie, Diana Rigg
Best Guest Actor – Broadbent I guess. Wanted to nom Anton Lesser but I guess Qyburn is in too many episodes by this point!
Best Guest Actress – Indira Varma (just for the death scene!), Gemma Whelan (she has 14 episodes, so just qualifies)
Best New Costume – I like Dany’s Super Targy outfit: black with Red cape. Also adored Cersei’s Dragonpit outfit. Honorable mention for Jaime dressed in black heading north. :p
All-Around Best Quote:
“You are charged with Murder. You are charged with Treason. What do you plead… LORD BAELISH?” YeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeSSSSS!
“I don’t believe you.”
Funniest Quote:
Cersei: “I’m queen of the seven kingdoms -”
Jaime: “Three, at best!”
Best Speech: Cersei: When my daughter was taken from me, my only daughter well you can’t imagine how that feels unless you’ve lost a child. I fed her at my own breast even though they told me to give her to the wet nurse. I couldn’t bear to see her in another woman’s arms. I never got to have a mother, but Myrcella did. She was mine and you took her from me. Why did you do that? Doens’t matter now. Your daughter’s a beauty too. Those brown eyes, those lips. Perfect Dornish beauty. I imagine she’s your favorite… I know, I know we’re not supposed to have favorites but still we’re only human, we love whom we love…”
Best Visual Effects Scene: I will go with Drogon nukes the Lannister shield wall and the Dothraki charge jump THROUGH THE FREAKING FLAMES for maximal brain melting awesomeness.
Best Death Scene: I will go with LittleFinger death.
Funniest Scene: hound and tormund discusing Brienne. “How did a crazy fucker like you live this long?”
Best Dramatic Scene: Jon and Dany talking about Viserons’ Death, and saving Westeros together… and Jon telling Dany she will be his queen. “I hope I’m worthy of it” I cried.
Best Fight: Does Jaime charging Dany / Drogon count because if so, that. Otherwise the battle at sea featuring Euron vs Yara and Euron vs Sandsnakes was really good.

Funniest Quote: Ser Davos- this is Jon Snow…… he’s King in the north

Tormund- And you need to convince the one with the dragons or the one who fucks her brother?”
Best Speech: Dany coming down stairs- So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.” ….. and all the shitty things that happened to her so that she could be in Westoros.
Best Visual Effects Scene: Beyond the wall,Dani and dragons vs Nk army
Best Death Scene:Lady Olenna Tyrell
Funniest Scene: Beyond the wall,the magnificent 7 conversations took me back and reminded me of why I can’t get enough of this show!! The conversations!!!From Tormund with Jon,then Jorah and the brothers, to the Hound with Tormund epic scene!! Gimme more&more!!
Best Dramatic Scene: 1)E7,Bran reviews who Jon/ Aegon Targaryen is and his legitimacy as the true King, whilst boatsex is happening wow wow and creepy Tyrion!! This sets the seeds for speculations through the long long wait until season 8….…!!!!!!! I’m loving it and wanted more…
2) E3, Jon meets Dani just can’t get enough of it! The tension between these two actors is awesome! We’ve been waiting for 7 f*#king years for this! Ooh yeah, I’m not a book reader but I knew from season 1 these two are going to get it on! And now comparing both scenes,1st and last meeting Season 7,I must admit has me hooked and Have repeatedly watched it more than any other episode of GOT or anything else on tv ever!!!!! I’m quite shocked with myself.
Best Fight: Arya – Brienne
Best Battle: Dani and drogon Field of fire 🔥 2.0! Very satisfied!!! She unleashed the dragon 🐉!!!

Best Episode
The Spoils of War
No doubt on that one. Although, I would put “The Queen’s Justice” as a close second.
Best Leading Actress
Maisie Williams
I just love how she can express coldness and frailty in strong doses, especially when she hears about Jon Snow and when she sees Nymeria.
Best Leading Actor
Kit Harington
Kit took his time, but by the fifth season, I was respecting his interpretation more and more. He’s a solid character now, and I just rejoice when he’s on screen.

All-Around Best Quote
“The enemy always wins. And we still need to fight him. That’s all I know”
Funniest Quote
“Are you trying to present your own statements as ancient wisdom?”
That whole exchange was pure amusement.
Best Speech
“This is Jon Snow….
He’s king in the North”
Honestly, everything from episode 3 was gold.
Best Visual Effects Scene
Drogon flying while burning soldiers and the loot train.
That one is difficult. I simply loved every VFX moment. They all gave me serious chills. Dragons beyond the wall burning wights (who could think?). The friggin’ wight Viserion blue-burning down the friggin’ ancient wall? But Drogon in the field of fire had eveything amazing CGI-wise plus it was an amazing sequence plot-wise.
Best Death Scene
Viserion!
Fucking spectacular show!
Funniest Scene
“You stand accused of murder, you stand accused of treason, how do you answer these charges … Lord Baelish?”
I burst out laughing. Evil laughs.
Best Dramatic Scene
Cersei’s revenge on Ellaria and Tyene.
That was probably the most intense thing I saw this season and one of the most terrifying scenes in the whole show. The fact that there’s nothing graphic at all made it even scarier. I’d vote it for best death from the whole series too.
Best Fight
Arya vs Brienne
Best Battle
Dothrakis vs Lannisters
I lost count of how many times I watched that. Everything was superb, the music, the choreography, the camera work, the visual effects, stunts… Jesus, it’s perfection!
One more nominee for Best Dramatic Scene … Cersei administers her carefully-planned revenge on Ellaria and Tyene (“The Queen’s Justice”)

I’m adding one more nominee for Best Dramatic Scene: Cersei getting her revenge on Ellaria and Tyene. I’m also submitting Cersei’s monologue for Best Speech. This will have to be abridged, but I wanted present it here in full.
“I want you to know I understand. Even though we’re enemies, you and I. I want you to know that I understand the fury that drives you. I was there that day when Ser Gregor crushed your lover’s head. If I close my eyes, I can hear the sound of Oberyn’s skull breaking. The sound of your scream. I’d never heard a sound like that. I thought ‘that’s true love’. Oberyn looked beautiful that day, he really did. No one moved like him. No one had such skill with a spear. Even Ser Gregor couldn’t stop him. If only he hadn’t taunted him. He could have walked away and left poor Ser Gregor to die. But that wasn’t your lover’s way, was it? Now he’s buried somewhere, and here’s Ser Gregor stronger than ever. That must be difficult for you.
“When my daughter was taken from me, my only daughter … well, you can’t imagine how that feels unless you’ve lost a child. I fed her at my own breast even though they told me to give her to the wet nurse. I couldn’t bear to see her in another woman’s arms. I never got to have a mother, but Myrcella did. She was mine! And you took her from me? Why did you do that? It doesn’t matter now. Your daughter’s a beauty too. Those brown eyes. Those lips. Perfect Dornish beauty. I imagine she’s your favorite. I know, I know, we’re not supposed to have favorites. But still, we’re only human. We love whom we love.
“Sorry, I can’t understand you. The gag makes it impossible to understand what you’re saying. It must be frustrating. We all make hard choices. You chose to murder my daughter. You must have felt powerful after you made that choice. Do you feel powerful now? I don’t sleep very well. Not at all, really. I lie in bed and I stare at the canopy and imagine ways of killing my enemies. How to destroy Ellaria Sand, the woman who murdered my only daughter? I thought about having Ser Gregor crush your skull the way he did Oberyn’s. It would be poetic I suppose, but fast, too fast. I thought about having him crush your daughter’s skull. She’s so beautiful. The thought of this lovely face cracking open like a duck egg … no, it’s just not right.” *She kisses Tyene to deliver the poison*
“Qyburn here’s the cleverest man I know. Clever enough to learn what poison you used to murder Myrcella. The Long Goodbye, was that it? (Qyburn: ‘The Long Farewell’). That’s the one. How long does the poison take? (Q: ‘Hours. Days. It depends on the subject’s constitution.’) But death is certain. Your daughter will die here in this cell. And you will be here watching when she does. You’ll be here the rest of your days. If you refuse to eat, we’ll force food down your throat. You will live to watch your daughter rot. To watch that beautiful face collapse into bone and dust. All the while contemplating the choices you have made. Make sure the guards change the torches every few hours. I don’t want her to miss a thing.”
A few more Best Speech, then I swear I’m done. There were a lot greatness this year!
Beric’s speech about death – “Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last … The enemy always wins, and we still need to fight him. That’s all I know. You and I won’t find much joy while we’re here. But we can keep others alive. We can defend those who can’t defend themselves … Maybe we don’t need to understand any more than that. Maybe that’s enough.”
Dany’s speech to Jon – “I was born at Dragonstone. Not that I can remember it. We fled before Robert’s assassins could find us. Robert was your father’s best friend, no ? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib. Not that it matters now, of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing, through all those years in exile ? Faith. Not in any god, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn’t seen a dragon in centuries, until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn’t crossed the sea, any sea. They did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms. And I will.”
Davos hypes up Jon Snow – “You don’t believe him. I understand that. It sounds like nonsense. But if destiny has brought Daenerys Targaryen back to our shores, it has also made Jon Snow King in the North. You were the first to bring Dothraki to Westeros? He is the first to make allies of wildlngs and Northmen. He was named Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. He was named King in the North. Not because of his birthright. He has no birthright. He’s a damn bastard. All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader because they believe in him. All those things you don’t believe in, he faced those things. He fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own … If we don’t put aside our enmities and band together, we will die. And then it doesn’t matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne.”
Olenna’s confession – “I’d hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck. Foam and bile spilling from my mouth. Eyes blood red. Skin purple. It must have been horrible for you. As a Kingsguard. As a father. It was horrible enough for me. A shocking scene. Not at all what I intended. You see, I’d never seen the poison work before. Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.”
Jon’s speech to Theon – “Our father was more of a father to you than yours ever was. And you betrayed him! Betrayed his memory! But you never lost him. He’s a part of you, just like he’s a part of me. It’s not my place to forgive you for all of it. But what I can forgive, I do. You don’t need to choose. You’re a Greyjoy, and you’re a Stark.”
Jon pardons Alys Karstark and Ned Umber – “Ned Umber. Alys Karstark. For centuries our families fought side by side on the battlefield. I ask you to pledge your loyalty once again to House Stark. To serve as our bannermen, and come to our aid whenever called upon. Stand. Yesterday’s wars don’t matter anymore. The North needs to band together. All the living North! Will you stand beside me, Ned and Alys, now and always?”
Grey Worm confesses his fear and love to Missandei – “When Unsullied are young, the masters learn their fears. One boy is scared of dogs. One boy hates high places. One is frightened of the ocean. They make the boy sleep with dogs, or climb a cliff. They throw him in the water. If he learns to swim, good. If he drowns, good. Either way, strong Unsullied. But I had no fears. I was never the biggest. Never the strongest. But I was bravest. Always … until I meet Missandei from the Isle of Naath. Now, I have fear.”
Varys talks with Dany about his loyalty – “The kind the realm needs. Incompetence should not be rewarded with blind loyalty. As long as I have my eyes, I’ll use them. I wasn’t born into a great house. I came from nothing. I was sold as a slave and carved up as an offering. When I was a child, I lived in alleys, gutters, abandoned houses. You wish to know where my true loyalties lie? Not with any king or queen, but with the people. The people who suffer under despots and prosper under just rule. The people whose hearts you aim to win. If you demand blind allegiance, I respect your wishes. Grey Worm can behead me or your dragons can devour me. But if you let me live, I will serve you well. I will dedicate myself to seeing you on the Iron Throne because I choose you. Because I know the people have no better chance than you.”

Best fight: Theon and the captain
Best battle: Euron sea battle
I leave several categories (like best guest actor, best costume ect) because i have no strong opinion about them.
Best Actress: Emilia
Best Actor: Kit Kit Kit Kit
Best new costume: Dany’s coat was breathtaking and gets vote for second place, but the one that made me say “OH, thank the gods … FINALLY” was Jorah’s new shirt and black cape. Sorry, I just really hated that fucking yellow shirt, as I’ve said before.
Quote: Tell Cersei, I want her to know it was me.
In fact, that whole scene between Jaime and Olenna had some great lines:
Jaime: …as Robb Stark did to me at Whispering Wood. There are always lessons in failures.
Olenna: You must be very wise by now.
Best speech: Cersei’s entire speech to Ellaria and Tyene. There were other great ones, Dany’s tirade about being enslaved, and Jon’s to the North AND his quiet talk to Dany as he showed her the cave drawings. And of course, Olenna’s death speech. But I held on to every word of Cersei’s, wondering just exactly where she was going with it, gasping at the outcome, so brutal yet somehow so right.
Best battle: Loot Train, every aspect of it kept my interest, from Old Man Tarly wanting to beat the stragglers and Dickon’s wonderment at the smells of battle, to Bronn saying “listen” as the sounds of the galloping Dothrakis got louder and louder. Then, Drogon and Dany swooping in, making a fiery waste of soldiers and wagons alike, and the Dothraki standing atop their saddles, all the way to Jaime making a death-wish ride at Drogon and being pushed into the water by Bronn. It was great.
Guest: Jim Broadbent as Ebrose and Diana Rigg as Olenna, if she qualifies. If not, Ellaria did a good job.
Sorry this was so Haphazard, I’m trying to watch TV at the same time. Ahh, such a full life.

Best Battle: the Spoils of War
Supporting actor: John Bradley as Sam. I loved every scene of his, throughout the season. I thought his scenes with Archmaester Ebrose were great, especially discussing the cure Sam did on Jorah; I loved his scenes with Gilly, as she dropped one of the biggest bombs of the entire series and his frustrations with the Maesters made him miss it entirely. His scenes with Jorah, before surgery, during and their farewell, were charming and so very human and uplifting. John has these little looks and twitches that are so very “Sam.” I can’t wait to see what part he might play in the final season.
Supporting actress: Sophie Turner as Sansa. or, I’d put her in the Best Actress category, right behind Emilia. Sophie completely nailed it as Lady Stark this season, trying to deal with crazy Littlefinger, crazy Bran and Crazy Arya, plus trying her best to prepare for the coming disaster by overseeing the food shipments and storage. Even her little comment about the leather on the armor was delivered in a manner that showed she was thinking exactly the way the Lady of the Castle should think.
Best Death: Viserion, spiraling down, on fire inside and out, then slipping under the water.
Oh, you need a human death scene. Littlefinger. We actually saw him die, and he did a great job of it. From arrogant to pitiful in a few minutes, and believable at every turn. I was going to say Olenna, but we didn’t actually see her die.
Runners up: The Tarlys. Sad for Dickon, because he could have been spared, but chose to go with his father.
Best supporting actor: Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy,
Beat leading actor : Kit Harrington as Jhon Snow,
Best leading actress: Lena Heady as Cercei Lannister,
Best supporting actress: Jemma Whillan as Yara Greyjoy
I also want nominate Alfie Allen as the leading actor in spite of him being not too much on the screen, but it was always stunning😍
Funniest Scene: Tormund and Sandor discussing Brienne. Someone on here was kind enough to print the dialogue to the whole thing, and just reading it made me laugh out loud. Monster babies, indeed. Go for it Tormund.
Funniest Line:
Bronn: Fancy lad school
Dany to Melisandre, with a raised eyebrow at Varys: “You picked an auspicious day to arrive at Dragonstone – we’ve just decided to pardon those who have served the wrong king.” Maybe it wasn’t meant to be funny, but it made me laugh.
Davos: “Nothing fucks you harder than time.” Also, the very crowd-pleasing line to Gendry: “I thought you might still be rowing.”
Dramatic scenes: so many from which to choose, just thinking of all the possibilities makes me want to watch the whole season over already, which I probably will.
I’ll go for the quiet, intimate scenes, like the one when Jon awakens on the boat and Dany says she now knows how great the problem is, and that she will help.
Also, the love scene. Hardly any dialogue, but loved the way the scene was shown. It wasn’t lurid, it was beautiful and beautifully done. I thought that Tyrion’s look of concern or anger or frustration or whatever the heck it was threw an unnecessary damper on things. I’m not going to make too much of that look – I think it won’t mean a thing next season, much as Jaime’s look at Cersei at the end of Season 6 caused a lot of concern and ended up meaning nothing.
The scene where Arya comes across the Lannister soldiers, and they are shown to be as human and likeable and worthy as anyone else. That was the scene with Ed Sheeran, too, which leads me to this:
Favorite-guest-actor-who-showed-up, did-a-nice-job-and-took-huge-amounts-of-flak-for-reasons-I-still-don’t-understand: Ed Sheeran I don’t know what the problem was with Ed being on the show, and I’m uncomfortable that he hasn’t been mentioned at all, even by Jared, who has practically given us the dialogue from the whole season. (I’m not snarking at you Jared, I loved that you took the time and energy to do all that work. Thank you.) But the whole fandom, even on this site, took turns taking shots at poor Ed for showing up. I thought his scene was fine.

Oh wait, three more quiet, dramatic scenes, and they are all with Sandor:
The one where he gazes with sorrow and regret at the bodies of the dead man and his daughter.
Him being prompted to look into the fire, and he talks in shock about the army of the dead marching at Eastwatch.
Him burying the man and girl, with the help of Thoros.
So real, so touching. I love this show.

Best Speech
“I was born at Dragonstone, not that I can remember it… we fled before Robert’s assassins could find us. Robert was your father’s best friend, no? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib. Not that it matters now, of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a brood mare, I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing, through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any Gods, not in myths and legends. In myself, in Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn’t seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born.
The Dothraki hadn’t crossed the sea, any sea, they did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will.” – Daenerys Targaryen (S7E03)

That is all.
Three nomines for Best Comedic Scene
Both from S7e6. Not surprisingly, all involve Sandor.
(1). “Whinging” (Sandor, Gendry, Beric, Thoros)
Gendry: I wanted to join the Brotherhood but you sold me off. Like a slave. You know what she did to me? She stuck me down on the bed, she stripped me naked…
Sandor: Sounds alright so far.
Gendry: …and put leeches on me!
Thoros (?): Was she naked too?
Beric (?): She needed your blood.
Gendry: Yes. Thank you. I know that.
Sandor (?): Could’ve been worse.
Gendry: She wanted to kill me! And would have killed me if it weren’t for Davos —
Sandor: But they didn’t, did they. So what are you whinging about?
Gendry: I’m not whinging!
Sandor: Your lips are moving and you’re complaining about something. That’s whinging.
This one [pointing at Beric] has been killed six times, and you don’t hear him bitching about it.
_________________________________
(2). Sandor & Tormund, S7e6
***
Sandor: F*ck off.
Tormund: I don’t think you’re truly mean. You have sad eyes.
Sandor: You want to suck my dick, is that it?
Tormund: “Dick”?
Sandor: Cock.
Tormund: Ahhh. Dick… I like it.
Sandor: I’ll bet you do.

Thronetender,
Ha. What can I say? 🙂 I thought Season 7 was extremely well-written, especially on the dialogue front (I don’t agree at all with the periodic complaints that the writing and the dialogue has declined in recent seasons since the show passed the books. I think they’re complete and utter nonsense). I just completed a S7 rewatch recently, and I’ve been keeping a list of lines and moments I wanted to commemorate when these awards rolled around. They were very long lists. I intended to put a cap on the ones I submitted, but hell, it’s the preliminary nomination round. We’ll be chopping it all down to shortlists of 5 soon anyway. Might as well make sure that we’re spoiled for choice!
I’m very glad that you chose to nominate Ed Sheeran (shout out to the two actors playing the other Lannister soldiers, William Postlethwaite and Thomas Turgoose, as well). I thought that scene with Arya was great, and I didn’t find Sheeran’s appearance to be distracting at all. He acquitted himself well, and he actually looks like he could be a Lannister soldier. The reaction to it was ridiculously overblown, but I’m afraid that’s par for the course at this point. The show has gotten so big that I think any so-called controversy, no matter how minor or inconsequential, is going to draw attention in excess of what it actually warrants. Got to get those baity headlines and think piece clicks.
Okay, there are 2 stonehearts commenting, don’t count our votes as one. 😛

Jared,
Jared,
As usual, I love your love for this show … reading all your submissions for these awards made me realize how much greatness I had already forgotten about while making my submissions!
Alfie Allen for Best Actor – Leading role.
He has been consistently wowing us with his mind blowing performance and has shown the most range as an actor in comparison to anyone else on the show.
He does not require long scenes or lengthy dialogues, he can convey a sea of emotions in a 2 minute odd scene.
He’s the only character who is human and hence makes mistakes, gets punished for those mistakes, undergoes the most torture, learns from his mistakes, atones and redeems himself…
He’s undergone not only a character arc but a complete identity arc is well…
He’s a genius of an actor and deserves accolades …
Off topic, but I cannot wait to see Aidan Gillen on Peaky Blinders!!!! ❤

LOOT TRAIN BATTLE! (or Field of Fire 2.)
Yes, I don’t want to forget either of these girls.
I forgot to vote for Best Episode and Best Effects
Episode: The Dragon and the Wolf. We got answers, we got boatsex, we saw Cersei get shaken by the sight of the wight, Littlefinger got the ultimate comeuppance, and Jaime finally left. To me, it was perfect.
Best effects: Drogon at the Loot Train; also Viserion’s death, then being pulled from the lake; also the wight at the Dragon Pit almost reaching Cersei
Yes, just reading the wonderful excerpts confirms the excellence of most the dialogue. The season was engrossing, entertaining and thought provoking from the very first scene of Walder/Arya to the last shard of ice flying by as the Wall fell.
The most I found to complain about was the way the “suspense” of the Littlefinger/Arya/Sansa plot was handled. It could have been done better – there’s a difference between keeping an audience in suspense about events as opposed to leaving them befuddled and muttering. The writers excel at depicting main events; they sometimes falter with the connection scenes.
Which leads me to another award
I only nominated Emilia for best actress, and Sophie for best supporting or best actress. I’d like to add:
Maisie Williams as Best Actress
That little girl can take some of the most shitty, ill-conceived plot twists and turn them to gold. We accept them because of Maisie. She does her job magnificently, no matter how oddly the situation has been written. That’s power of personality and determination at its best. Great Job
Agree completely, that was another OMG, FINALLY! moment, where Jon insisted on respect based on HIS position.

COUNT THESE AS MY VOTES, TOO! I loved all these guys.
Jared, I just re-read your noms for guest actor, and must say I’m impressed and thankful that you took the time to supply the info of how many times they appeared in s7 and how many times overall. I had forgotten many of them. I took Jim Broadbent off your list, because I already voted for him, and didn’t want my votes disqualified. Amazing to realize that David Bradley/Walder was only in 6 total eps throughout the series – it seems like his presence was felt everywhere – he did pretty much command any scene he was in. Same with Gattis/Tycho, only in 4 total scenes, yet memorable.
The only one I didn’t agree with was the Wilf guy as Rhaegar. We didn’t hear him say anything, and I hated that they put Visery’s hair on him. Rhaegar would have had a better hairdo, more silver and more well-kept. Not the actor’s fault, but still.
I guess a little more love could be thrown in Pilou’s direction. He was totally believable as an opportunistic, crazy, pillaging pirate, lusting after Cersei, plaguing Jaime with crude jokes and questions. In fact, one of his crude lines to Jaime did make me laugh out loud, so I will add that to my vote:
Funniest Line Euron to Jaime: Jaime says “if you turn on us, they will cheer to see your severed head on a spike.” Euron replies “or yours, they just like severed heads really.”
Can you tell me in what category Joe Dempsie as Gendry might be in? I actually clapped with joy to see Gendry back, and was glad he made it alive out of that northern trek, so I think I should put a vote in for him. A lot of people have him in the guest category, but I think he was in too many episodes in the early seasons to qualify as guest.
I guess he’s a supporting actor, and since I only made one vote for supporting, I will add to it, since they are currently collecting votes:
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
Kristofer Hivju as Tormund
Jerome Flynn as Bronn
Liam Cunningham as Davos
Rory McCann as Sandor
Conleth Hill as Varys
Joe Dempsie as Gendry
These categories are an embarrassment of riches – every one of them was exceptional in their own way, so I guess the problem is to choose which one was the very best at their character this year. Not an easy job.
OMG forgot Iain Glenn as supporting actor.
ADDITION TO BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Iain Glenn.
When he had that rag in his mouth as Sam was pulling the greyscale from his body, his muted howls of pain were so real, it made me believe he was really feeling it. And his total class in his refusal of Longclaw, plus his scenes with Dany were excellent. I don’t know how we are going to be able to break this down. I don’t envy you guys the job of doing it, but you’ve done it all these past seasons, so I guess we will see how it goes.

Best Speech:
“But I accepted it because the North is my home. It is part of me, and I will never stop fighting for it no matter the odds. But the odds are against us.” -Jon Snow
‘You don’t believe him. I understand that, it sounds like nonsense. But if destiny has brought Daenerys Targaryen back to our shores, it has also made Jon Snow King in the North. You were the first to bring Dothraki to Westeros? He is the first to make allies of wildlings and Northmen.He was named Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, he was named King in the North. Not because of his birthright. He has no birthright, he’s a damn bastard. All those hard sons of b—— chose him as their leader because they believe in him. All those things you don’t believe in, he faced those things. He fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own..” – Ser Davos
‘”I’m not gonna swear an oath I can’t uphold. Talk about my father if you want, tell me that’s the attitude that got him killed.

Tormund: You do know her.
The Hound: We’ve met.
Tormund: I want to make babies with her. Think of them, great big monsters. They’d conquer the world.

Thronetender,
Yeah, the fact that David Bradley only appeared in six episodes of the entire show and is still justly regarded as one of its greatest villains is kind of crazy. He made a tremendous impact in a small amount of time. It was such a treat to have him return this year after old Walder’s demise. I bet Bradley had a blast playing the new spin on the character.
I understand your Rhaegar reservations. I just loved the scene he was part of, and thought he should be represented. People have been wanting to see him for years. And Wilf seems like a good dude.
Pilou was such a wicked delight as Euron. Through the first three episodes, he would have been my pick for S7 MVP. That faded a bit because Euron didn’t resurface again until the finale, but he definitely made his mark.
Joe Dempsie has appeared in 19 episodes of the show, so you’re right that he’s not eligible for Guest Actor – he’ll be Supporting. The only S7 starring cast member who would be eligible as a Guest would be Indira Varma, who appeared in 13 episodes total. But I put her in Supporting, because I feel that her role has been significant enough to warrant that respect. In fact – tipping my hand a bit here – she’s my pick to win that category. Her nonverbal acting in the scene with her and Cersei completely blew me away.

Funniest Quote:
1. Sandor: “Your lips are moving and you’re complaining about something, that’s whinging. This one’s been killed six times, you don’t hear him bitching about it.”
2. Sansa: “No need to seize the last word, Lord Baelish. I’ll assume it was something clever.”
Best Speech:
1. Sansa: “Sometimes when I’m trying to understand a person’s motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst. What’s the worst reason you have for turning me against my sister? That’s what you do, isn’t it? That’s what you’ve always done, turn family against family, turn sister against sister. That’s what you did to our mother and Aunt Lysa, and that’s what you tried to do to us. I’m a slow learner, it’s true. But I learn. When you brought me back to Winterfell, you told me there’s no justice in the world, not unless we make it. Thank you for all your many lessons, Lord Baelish. I will never forget them.”
2. Varys: “Incompetence should not be rewarded with blind loyalty. As long as I have my eyes, I will use them. You wish to know where my true loyalties lie? Not with any king or queen, but with the people. The people who suffer under despots and prosper under just rule. The people whose hearts you aim to win. If you demand blind allegiance, I respect your wishes. Grey Worm can behead me or your dragons can devour me. But if you let me live, I will serve you well. I will dedicate myself to seeing you on the Iron Throne because I choose you. Because I know the people have no better chance than you.”

Best Guest Actor Nominees (2):
• Richard Dormer, as Beric Dondarrion
• Captured Wight
Like most characters, he upped his game by interacting with The Hound.
From serving as Sandor’s personal punching bag in e6, to playing hide-and-seek in the box in the Dragon Pit until making a mad dash for Cersei – and fighting on even when sliced in half and dismembered* in e7 – Captured Wight deserves a nomination.
* “It’s only a flesh wound.”
Nominations for Best Battle and Best Fight:
I’m a little unclear on the distinction between a “fight” and a “battle”, eg, is a 1-on-1 encounter always a “fight”? Or can a fight be deemed a battle, using the Hot Pie definition?
Arya: Hot Pie, tell Gendry what makes a fight into a battle.
Hot Pie: It’s um, when they got armor on.*
Seriously, my Nominees are:
Best Fight: Arya spars with Brienne S7e4
Best Battle: Dothraki + Drogon vs Lannister army S7e4
————–
* Full scene – Always worth a chuckle…
(From S2e2, “The Night Lands”):
Lommy: Don’t want to get caught in the middle of a battle.
Hot Pie: I ain’t afraid of no battles.
Arya: If you got within a mile of a battle, you’d fill your pants.
Hot Pie: I’ve seen lots of battles. I saw …
Arya: Liar.
Hot Pie: I saw a man kill another man just outside a tavern in Flea Bottom. Stabbed him right in the neck.
Lommy: Two men fighting isn’t a battle.
Hot Pie: They had armor on.
Arya: So?
Hot Pie: So, if they got armor on, it’s a battle.
Lommy: No, it isn’t.
Hot Pie: What does a dyer’s apprentice know about battles anyway?
Arya: Gendry’s an armorer’s apprentice. Hot Pie, tell Gendry what makes a fight into a battle.
Hot Pie: It’s, um, when they got armor on.
Gendry: Who told you that?
Hot Pie: A knight.
Gendry: How’d you know he was a knight?
Hot Pie: Well, it was ’cause he got armor on.
Gendry: You don’t have to be a knight to have armor. Any idiot can buy armor.
Hot pie: How do you know?
Gendry: Because I sold armor.

Agreed about Ed Sheeran and that scene, about whom/which I was going to comment. (Actually, I was going to jokingly nominate him for Best Guest Actor just to start a mêlée. Because it’s Saturday and I’m already putting a dent in the Arbor gold.)

That voice, that amazing voice. Like I said a few weeks ago, I could listen to him read my cable bill and be entranced.
Also, got a big LOL from nomination of Captured wight as guest actor.
ALSO, can I make one more nomination?
Best Speech: Tyrion’s explanation of how he engineered the sewers in Casterly Rock. I had forgotten about it because the camera wasn’t on Tyrion’s face during the whole thing, the scenes were showing Gray Worm take possession of CR as Tyrion narrated, but it was delivered beautifully.
It was a momentary victory for Tyrion. Until, of course, everyone realizes they should have been guarding the stockpile of gold at Highgarden instead of losing their navy (again, Gray Worm. Tsk tsk. I kind of thought having the boats in Meereen set afire would have been lesson enough to keep guard over your boats, oh well) taking an outdated, empty castle on the far shores.

All-around Best Quote
I don’t plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. I might be small, Lord Glover, and I might be a girl, but I am every bit as much a Northerner as you – Lyanna Mormont in Dragonstone
I hope it’s a girl. Girls take care of their papas when their papas grow old. Boys just go off to fight in someone else’s wars – Lannister Soldier in Dragonstone
Everyone in the Citadel doubts everything; it’s their job – Archmaester Ebrose in Dragonstone
You’re Jorah Mormont, the only son of Jeor Mormont. My name is Samwell Tarly, sworn brother of the Night’s Watch, training to serve as maester at Castle Black. I knew your father. I was with him when he died. You’re not dying today, Ser Jorah – Samwell Tarly in Stormborn
That’s not you – Arya Stark in Stormborn
You’re a dragon. Be a dragon – Olenna Tyrell in Stormborn
You love her. You really do love her. You poor fool. She’ll be the end of you – Olenna Tyrell in The Queen’s Justice
The Lords of the North placed their trust in me to lead them and I will continue to do so as well as I can – Jon Snow in The Queen’s Justice
I came down here to brood over my failure to predict the Greyjoy attack. You’re making it difficult. You look a lot better brooding than I do. You make me feel like I’m failing at brooding over failing – Tyrion Lannister in The Queen’s Justice
They were right here. Standing where we’re standing. Before there were Targaryens, or Starks, or Lannisters. Maybe even before there were men – Daenerys Targaryen in The Spoils of War
They fought together against their common enemy. Despite their differences, despite their suspicions. Together. We need to do the same if we’re going to survive, because the enemy is real. It’s always been real – Jon Snow in The Spoils of War
My only venture at this moment is re-establishing control over this continent and every person on it – Cersei Lannister in The Spoils of War
You died in that cave – Meera Reed in The Spoils of War
He was going to execute me. He knew I was innocent. He didn’t hate me because of anything he did, he hated me because of what I am. A little monster sent to punish him. Do you – do you think I wanted to be born this way? Do you think I chose? – Tyrion Lannister in Eastwatch
What does annulment mean? Maynard says here that he issued an annulment for a Prince Ragger and remarried him to someone else at the same time in a secret ceremony in Dorne. Is that a common thing in the south? – Gilly in Eastwatch
You spent too much time with the Free Folk and now you don’t like kneeling. Mance Rayder was a great man, a proud man. The King-Beyond-The-Wall never bent the knee. How many of his people died for his pride? – Tormund in Beyond the Wall
I’m not fighting so some man or woman I barely know can sit on a throne made of swords – Beric Dondarrion in Beyond the Wall
Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last – Beric Dondarrion in Beyond the Wall
If we hadn’t have gone, I wouldn’t have seen. You have to see it to know. Now I know – Daenerys Targaryen in Beyond the Wall
I’m not going to swear an oath I can’t uphold. Talk about my father if you want; tell me that’s the attitude that got him killed. But when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies. And lies won’t help us in this fight – Jon Snow in The Dragon and the Wolf
Do you have any idea what you did when you fired that crossbow? You left us open. You laid us bare for the vultures, and the vultures came and tore us apart. You may not have killed Joffrey, but you killed Myrcella. You killed Tommen. No one would have touched them if father was here. No one would have dared – Cersei Lannister in The Dragon and the Wolf
I suppose we should say goodbye. One idiot to another – Jaime Lannister in The Dragon and the Wolf
Robert’s Rebellion was built on a lie. Rhaegar didn’t kidnap my aunt, or rape her. He loved her. And she loved him. And Jon. Jon’s real name…….he’s never been a bastard. He’s the heir to the Iron Throne – Bran Stark in The Dragon and the Wolf
His name is Aegon Targaryen. You have to protect him. Promise me, Ned – Lyanna Stark in The Dragon and the Wolf
When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives – Sansa Stark in The Dragon and the Wolf
The only one that needs protecting is the one that gets in her way – Brienne of Tarth in The Dragon and the Wolf
I always wanted to do the right thing. Be the right kind of person. But I never knew what that meant. It always seemed like there was an impossible choice I had to make. Stark or Greyjoy – Theon Greyjoy in The Dragon and the Wolf
You don’t need to choose. You’re a Greyjoy, and you’re a Stark – Jon Snow in The Dragon and the Wolf
We can destroy them by burning them. And we can destroy them with dragonglass. If we don’t win this fight, then that is the fate of every person in the world. There is only one war that matters. The Great War. And it is here – Jon Snow in The Dragon and the Wolf
When the fighting in the North is over, someone wins. You understand that, don’t you? If the dead win, they march south and kill us all. If the living win, and we’ve betrayed them, they march south and kill us all! – Jaime Lannister in The Dragon and the Wolf
Remember me? Yeah, you do. You’re even fucking uglier than I am now. What did they do to you? It doesn’t matter. That’s not how it ends for you, brother. You know who’s coming for you. You’ve always known – Sandor Clegane – The Dragon and the Wolf
If those things come for us, there’ll be no kingdoms left to rule. Everything we’ve lost will have been for nothing – Cersei Lannister in The Dragon and the Wolf
Oh, fuck loyalty. This goes beyond Houses and honour and oaths. Talk to the queen – Brienne of Tarth in The Dragon and the Wolf
Funniest Quote
Here I am with a thousand ships and two good hands – Euron Greyjoy in Dragonstone
I’ll tell you what doesn’t scare me; bald cocksucker like you. You think you’re scaring anyone with that top knot? Bald cunt – Sandor Clegane in Dragonstone
Looks like we’re the Night’s Watch now – Tormund in Dragonstone
We’re not poets, Tarly! – Archmaester Ebrose in Stormborn
The Lady Knight? Yeah, I figured she was a knight because she had armour on – Hot Pie in Stormborn
Don’t know anything about that. I just started feeling better. I assumed it was the rest that did it. And the climate – Jorah Mormont in The Queen’s Justice
Bran has…….visions – Sansa Stark in The Spoils of War
Fewer – Davos Seaworth in The Spoils of War
Wasn’t sure I’d find you. Thought you might still be rowing – Davos Seaworth in Eastwatch
You’re a lot shorter – Gendry in Eastwatch
Fermented crab. One bucket of this triples a brothels earnings for the week. A man thinks he’s done. He’s ready to go back to his loving family, but before he gets his breeches up his lady of the hour pops a tiny spoon of that into his mouth. Five minutes later, he’s back in the race. Here. Have a taste. I’d hurry to your favourite establishment, or you’ll put a hole in that chainmail – Davos Seaworth in Eastwatch
Isn’t it your job to talk him out of stupid fucking ideas like this? – Tormund in Eastwatch
These maesters, they set me to the task of preserving that man’s window counting and annulments and bowel movements for all eternity, while the secret to defeating the Night King is probably sitting on some dusty shelf somewhere completely ignored. Oh, but that’s alright, isn’t it? We can all become slavering, murderous imbeciles in thrall to evil incarnate as long as we can have access to the full records of High Septon Maynard’s fifteen thousand, seven hundred and eighty-two shits! – Samwell Tarly in Eastwatch
And you need to convince the one with the dragons, or the one who fucks her brother? – Tormund in Eastwatch
You have to keep moving, that’s the secret; walking’s good, fighting’s better, fucking’s best – Tormund in Beyond the Wall
You’re with Brienne of fucking Tarth?! – Sandor Clegane in Beyond the Wall
I want to make babies with her. Think of them. Great big monsters. They’d conquer the world – Tormund in Beyond the Wall
Come on. You can suck his magic cock later – Bronn in The Dragon and the Wolf
I put your self at risk. Important difference. It’s your head Queen Cersei’s offered a bag of gold for; it’s not mine. Now thanks to me, she’s got two traitors heads coming right through her door. She can lop them both off as soon as she gets tired of the clever words that pour out their pie holes. All thanks to Ser Bronn of the fucking Blackwater. If that’s not looking after myself I don’t know what is – Bronn in The Dragon and the Wolf
I left this shit city because I didn’t want to die in it. Am I gonna die in this shit city? – Sandor Clegane in The Dragon and the Wolf
Seems every bad idea has some Lannister cunt behind it – Sandor Clegane in The Dragon and the Wolf
The more immediate problem is that we’re fucked – Tyrion Lannister in The Dragon and the Wolf
Then it would appear that Tyrion’s assessment is correct. We’re fucked – Jon Snow in The Dragon and the Wolf
Fuck off! – Sandor Clegane in most of his episodes
Best Speech
You’re wondering why I brought you all here; after all, we just had a feast. Since when does Old Walder give us two feasts in a single fortnight? Well, it’s no good being Lord of the Riverlands if you can’t celebrate with your family, that’s what I say. I’ve gathered every Frey who means a damn thing so I can tell you my plans for this great House now that winter has come. But first, a toast. Not any of that Dornish horse piss. This is the finest Arbor gold. Proper wine for proper heroes. Stand together. We stand together. Not you. I’m not wasting good wine on a damn woman. Maybe I’m not the most pleasant man, I’ll admit it. But I’m proud of you lot. You’re my family; the men who helped me slaughter the Starks at the Red Wedding. Yes, yes. Cheer. Brave men, all of you. Butchered a woman pregnant with her babe. Cut the throat of a mother of five. Slaughtered your guests after inviting them into your home. But you didn’t slaughter every one of the Starks. No. No, that was your mistake. You should have ripped them all out, root and stem. Leave one wolf alive, and the sheep are never safe. When people ask you what happened here, tell them the North remembers. Tell them winter came for House Frey – Arya Stark in Dragonstone
We’re not like the people south of the Twins. And we’re not like the people north of the Twins. In the Citadel we lead different lives for different reasons. We are this world’s memory, Samwell Tarly. Without us men would be little better than dogs. Don’t remember any meal but the last. Can’t see forward to any but the next. And every time you leave the house and shut the door, they howl like you’re gone forever. When Robert’s Rebellion was raging, people thought the end was near. The end of the Targaryen dynasty. How will we survive? When Aegon Targaryen turned his eye westward, and flew his dragons to Blackwater Rush. The end is near. How will we survive? And thousands of years before that, during the Long Night, we can forgive them for thinking it truly was the end. But it wasn’t. None of it was. The Wall has stood through it all, and every winter that ever came has ended. Be a good lad, clean this up – Archmaester Ebrose in Dragonstone
When I was Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, I executed men who betrayed me. I executed men who refused to follow orders. My father always said the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword, and I have tried to live by those words. But I will not punish a son for his father’s sins. And I will not take a family home away from a family it has belonged to for centuries. That is my decision and my decision is final. Ned Umber. Alys Karstark. For centuries, our families fought side by side on the battlefield. I ask you to pledge your loyalty once again to House Stark. To serve as our bannermen and come to our aid whenever called upon. Stand. Yesterday’s wars don’t matter anymore. The North needs to band together. All the living North. Will you stand beside me, Ned and Alys? Now and always? – Jon Snow in Dragonstone
You all crowned me your king. I never wanted it. I never asked for it. But I accepted it because the North is my home. It’s part of me and I will never stop fighting for it, no matter the odds. But the odds are against us. None of you have seen the army of the dead. None of you. We can never hope to defeat them alone. We need allies, powerful allies. I know it’s a risk but I have to take it – Jon Snow in Stormborn
I delivered his bones myself; presented them to Lady Catelyn as a gesture of goodwill from Tyrion Lannister. It seems like a lifetime ago. Do give Lord Tyrion my best when you see him. I was sorry when he died; your father and I had our differences, but he loved Cat very much. So did I. She wasn’t fond of you, was she? Well it appears she vastly underestimated you. Your father and brothers are gone, yet here you stand. King in the North – last, best hope against the coming storm – Petyr Baelish in Stormborn
I was born at Dragonstone. Not that I can remember it. We fled before Robert’s assassins could find us. Robert was your father’s best friend, no? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib? Not that it matters now, of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me. I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a brood mare. I’ve been chained and betrayed. Raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods. Not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn’t seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn’t crossed the sea – any sea – they did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms. And I will – Daenerys Targaryen in The Queen’s Justice
You don’t believe him. I understand that. It sounds like nonsense. But if destiny has brought Daenerys Targaryen back to our shores, it has also made Jon Snow King in the North. You are the first to bring Dothraki to Westeros; he is the first to make allies of Wildlings and Northmen. He was named Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, he was named King in the North, not because of his birth-right. He has no birth-right, he’s a damn bastard. All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader because they believe in him. All those things you don’t believe in, he faced those things. He fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own – If we don’t put aside our enmities and band together we will die. And then it doesn’t matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne – Davos Seaworth in The Queen’s Justice
The reason I believe Jon Snow is because he’s here. All of his advisers would have told him not to come. I would’ve told him not to come. And he’s here anyway. You don’t have to believe him; let him mine the dragon glass. If he’s wrong, it’s worthless. You didn’t even know it was here. It’s nothing to you. Give him something by giving him nothing. Take a step toward a more productive relationship with a possibly ally. Keep him occupied while we focus on the task at hand, Casterly Rock – Tyrion Lannister in The Queen’s Justice
That’s good. I’d hate to die like your son; clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes blood-red, skin purple. It must have been horrible for you. As a kingsguard. As a father. It was horrible enough for me. A shocking scene. Not at all what I intended. You see, I’d never seen the poison work before. Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me – Olenna Tyrell in The Queen’s Justice
I want you to know I understand. Even though we’re enemies, you and I, I understand the fury that drives you. I was there that day when Ser Gregor crushed your lover’s head. I close my eyes, I can hear the sound of Oberyn’s skull breaking; the sound of your scream. I never heard a sound like that. I thought that’s true love. Oberyn looked beautiful that day, he really did. No one moved like him. No one had such skill with a spear. Even Ser Gregor couldn’t stop him. If only he hadn’t taunted him, he could have walked away and left poor Ser Gregor to die. But that wasn’t your lover’s way was it? Now he’s buried somewhere and here’s Ser Gregor stronger than ever. That must be difficult for you. When my daughter was taken from me, my only daughter……well, you can’t imagine how that feels unless you’ve lost a child. I fed her at my own breast even though they told me to give her to the wet nurse. I couldn’t bear to see her in another woman’s arms. I never got to have a mother, but Myrcella did. She was mine and you took her from me. Why did you do that? It doesn’t matter now. Your daughter’s a beauty too; those brown eyes, those lips. Perfect Dornish beauty. I imagine she’s your favourite. I know, I know, we’re not supposed to have favourites. But still, we’re only human. We love whom we love. That’s why I can’t understand you. The gag makes it impossible to understand what you’re saying. It must be frustrating. We all make our choices. You chose to murder my daughter. You must have felt powerful after you made that choice. Do you feel powerful now? I don’t sleep very well. Not at all, really. I lie in bed and I stare at the canopy and I imagine ways of killing my enemies. How to destroy Ellaria Sand, the woman who murdered my only daughter. I thought about having Ser Gregor crush your skill the way he did Oberyn’s. It would be poetic, I suppose, but fast. Too fast. I thought about having him crush your daughter’s skull, but she’s so beautiful…..the thought of this lovely face cracking open like a duck egg…..no it’s just not right. Qyburn here’s the cleverest man I know. Clever enough to learn what poison you used to murder Myrcella. The long goodbye, was that it? – Cersei Lannister in The Queen’s Justice
I never thought that dragons would exist again. No one did. The people who follow you know that you made something impossible happen. Maybe that helps them believe that you can make other impossible things happen. Build a world that’s different from the shit one they’ve always known. But if you use them to melt castles and burn cities, you’re not different; you’re just more of the same – Jon Snow in The Spoils of War
Brandon Stark. The crippled boy. I led him through the Wall years ago. I saw him go beyond the Wall. Somehow, a crippled boy survived for years beyond the Wall when no one else could. Not the Night’s Watch, not the Wildlings. No one. Perhaps we ought to listen to what he has to say. Everyone in Westeros trusts and respects you. If you tell people the threat is real, they’ll believe it. If you advise all the lords to send their men north to hold they Wall, they’ll do it. And if you tell every maester in the Citadel to search every word of every faded scroll about the Long Night they may find something that lets us defeat the army of the dead for good – Samwell Tarly in Eastwatch
With respect your grace I don’t need your permission. I am a king. Now, I came here knowing that you could have your men behead me or your dragons burn me alive. I put my trust in you. A stranger. Because I knew it was the best chance for my people. For all our people. Now I’m asking you to trust in a stranger. Because it’s our best chance – Jon Snow in Eastwatch
That’s what I used to tell myself about her father. I found the traitors, but I wasn’t the one burning them alive. I was only a purveyor of information. It’s what I told myself when I watched them beg for mercy. I’m not the one doing it. And the pitch of their screams rose higher. I’m not the one doing it. When their hair caught fire and the smell of their burning flesh filled the throne room. I’m not the one doing it – Varys in Eastwatch
Sometimes when I’m trying to understand a person’s motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst. What’s the worst reason you have for turning me against my sister? That’s what you do, isn’t it? That’s what you’ve always done. Turn family against family. Turn sister against sister. That’s what you did to our mother and Aunt Lysa, and that’s what you tried to do to us. I’m a slow learner, it’s true. But I learn – Sansa Stark in The Dragon and the Wolf
We are a group of people who do not like each other. As this recent demonstration has shown. We have suffered at each other’s hands. We have lost people we love at each other’s hands. If all we wanted was more of the same, there would be no need for this gathering. We are entirely capable of waging war against each other without meeting face to face – Tyrion Lannister in The Dragon and the Wolf
This isn’t about living in harmony; it’s just about living. The same thing is coming for all of us. A general you can’t negotiate with. An army that doesn’t leave corpses behind on the battlefield. Lord Tyrion tells me a million people live in this city. They’re about to become a million more soldiers in the army of the dead – Jon Snow in The Dragon and the Wolf

Best Speech (or Best Quote?)
Arya + Sansa, quoting their father (S7e7)
Arya: In winter, we must protect ourselves. Look after one another.
Sansa: When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.
Best speech
Beric’s speech about death – “Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last … The enemy always wins, and we still need to fight him. That’s all I know. You and I won’t find much joy while we’re here. But we can keep others alive. We can defend those who can’t defend themselves … Maybe we don’t need to understand any more than that. Maybe that’s enough.”
“I was born at Dragonstone, not that I can remember it… we fled before Robert’s assassins could find us. Robert was your father’s best friend, no? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib. Not that it matters now, of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a brood mare, I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing, through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any Gods, not in myths and legends. In myself, in Daenerys Targaryen.
The world hadn’t seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born.
The Dothraki hadn’t crossed the sea, any sea, they did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will.” – Daenerys Targaryen (S7E03)
You don’t believe him. I understand that. It sounds like nonsense. But if destiny has brought Daenerys Targaryen back to our shores, it has also made Jon Snow King in the North. You are the first to bring Dothraki to Westeros; he is the first to make allies of Wildlings and Northmen. He was named Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, he was named King in the North, not because of his birth-right. He has no birth-right, he’s a damn bastard. All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader because they believe in him. All those things you don’t believe in, he faced those things. He fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own – If we don’t put aside our enmities and band together we will die. And then it doesn’t matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne – Davos Seaworth in The Queen’s Justice

Best all round quote
If we hadn’t have gone, I wouldn’t have seen. You have to see it to know. Now I know – Daenerys Targaryen in Beyond the Wall
I’m not going to swear an oath I can’t uphold. Talk about my father if you want; tell me that’s the attitude that got him killed. But when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies. And lies won’t help us in this fight – Jon Snow in The Dragon and the Wolf

Sandor Clegane (who else?) in S7e5, “Eastwatch”
[Jon, Gendry, Tormund et al. visit Beric, Thoros and Sandor, who were on their way to go beyond the Wall when they were intercepted by the NW and placed in the Eastwatch cells]
***
Beric: Here we all are at the edge of the world at the same moment, heading in the same direction for the same reason. Our reasons aren’t your reasons. It doesn’t matter what we think our reasons are: there’s a greater purpose at work. And we serve it together, whether we know it or not. We may take the steps, but the Lord of Light….

Ten Bears,
I had to ask the question about qualifying guest actresses myself.
Best Guest Actress
Dame Diana Rigg (Lady Olenna Tyrell)
Simply because she is Lady Olenna Freaking Tyrell. Period
And also because she is a Dame and she was a Bond Girl and I still remember being in awe of her as a 10 year old (low those many years ago) as the first and only righteous kick-ass Mrs. Peel.
Best New Costume
#1. Arya Stark S7e4
(introduced as she enters WF courtyard to ask Brienne to train her; ensemble includes Needle on one hip and VS Dagger on the other)
• I’m nominating Arya’s new costume not just because of “style” or “fashion”, but because it helps tell the character’s story and reflects the character’s evolved identity. Plus, it’s functional attire, befitting a ninja swordfighter, as demonstrated in the sparring match with Brienne.
• The pants and coat channel her father Ned Stark. The whole look is practically a visualization of how Arya pictured her future self in S1e4 when Ned told her, “You will marry a high lord and rule his castle. And your sons shall be knights and princes and lords”, and she replied “No. That’s not me,”
Almost as if she’s showing him: “THIS is me.”
• It was a welcome relief that they didnt go with a cliche frilly girly-girl makeover and put her in a dress with her hair down and mascara on her face. (Maisie is beautiful, but Arya isn’t defined by her allure.) When Hot Pie remarked “I can’t believe I thought you were a boy. You’re pretty!” (s7e2), I feared a “makeover” was coming once she got back to WF.
• I was thrilled to finally see Arya decked out in the Warrior Princess costume featured in the pre-season Entertainment Weekly photo spread.
• I consider the VS Dagger and Needle to be part of the costume. Maisie’s nifty dagger flip at rhe climax of the training fight with Brienne, and the gunslinger-style dagger twirl that preceded it, are multiple rewind-worthy by themselves.
• Overall, the costume reflected the character’s self-realization at an early age, expressed at the end of e7, that she knew she wasnt going to be a lady so she had to be something else.
• Most of all, after 6+ years of watching Arya in grubby boy’s clothes, baggy FM robes, and traveling ponchos, seeing her enter the WF courtyard with a kickass outfit to match her self-confidence was a wonderful moment. (One of the many reasons I suspect the Arya-Brienne sparring match will win Best Fight in a landslide, if nomination comments I’ve read so far are any indication.)
• The boots! My sisters, my nieces, and everyone else who’s seen the EW photographs or the sparring scene want to know where to find Arya’s boots!
————————–
Runner-Up: Dany’s all-white flight suit for her rescue mission beyond the Wall. The only drawback for me (and it’s not the show’s fault; I blame Disney merchandising oversaturation) was the unintended Elsa from “Frozen” vibe.
Second Runner-Up: Jon Snow’s birthday suit in Dany’s cabin on boat headed to WF (S7e7). Because if you look like Kit H, maybe the best new costume is no costume at all.
Third Runner-Up: Sansa’s cape and hood outside on the battlements in S7e7 (when she tells guard, “have my sister brought to the great hall”)
Sue the Fury,
I noticed you listed Rory McCann in the Leading Actor category. I wasn’t sure if he could be clsssified as a Leading or Supporting* actor this season.
I’m not sure sbout Sandor’s screen time. However, this past season is the first time I sensed that Sandor’s own story was the focal point in most of his scenes with the BwoB. It didn’t hurt that he got the best lines (eg Gendry “whinging”) – and some heartfelt moments (burying Sally).
Anyway, I’m curious to see what category he winds up in.
* Definition:
“The supporting categories, suitable for regular/recurring Game of Thrones actors who support the lead.”

Guest Actor Additional Nominee:
Ed Sheeran
Because I am shocked at the undeserved vitriol engendered by his brief appearance.
He was invited onto the show as an act of kindness – a gift from Benioff and Weiss to his friend and fan Maisie Williams, and sang a song and spoke a few lines in a scene that reminded Arya and the audience that human beings can also be kind and generous.
In fact, the homesick young Lannister soldiers talk about how boys are forced to leave their families and sent off to “fight someone else’s war” was more attuned to the spirit of the book’s famous “Broken Man” speech than the adaptation version of the speech delivered by Ian McShane in “The Broken Man” episode (S6e7).
Best Speech nominee: Lyanna Mormont S7e1:
Lyanna Mormont: “I don’t plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. I might be small, Lord Glover, and I might be a girl, but I am every bit as much a Northerner as you.”
Lord Glover: “Indeed you are, my lady. No one has questioned–”
Lyanna Mormont: “And I don’t need your permission to defend the North.”
(To Jon) “We’ll begin training every man, woman, boy, and girl on Bear Island.”
Best Speech Nominee: “Now and Always”, Jon Snow S7e1
Jon: Ned Umber. Alys Karstark.
For centuries, our families fought side by side on the battlefield. I ask you to pledge your loyalty once again to House Stark, to serve as our bannermen and come to our air whenever called upon.
(Alys Karstark and Ned Umber unsheathe their swords and kneel)
Jon: Stand.
Yesterday’s wars don’t matter anymore. The North needs to band together, all the living north. Will you stand beside me, Ned and Alys, now and always?
Alys and Ned: Now and always!
All-Around Best Quote
From S1e1:
Arya: “If people ask you what happened here, tell them: The North Remembers. Tell them: Winter came for House Frey.”
Sandor (to Beric): “There’s no divine justice, you dumb c*nt. If there was, you’d be dead…and that girl would be alive.”
Best Supporting Actor:
Alfie Allen
—-
Even with the little screen time he was given. he was so incredible this year!!!
All the awards to that amazing man.
Best Battle
Krakenbowl – Stormborn
Fall of Casterly Rock and Highgarden – The Queen’s Justice
Field of Fire – The Spoils of War
Frozen Lake – Beyond the Wall
Not unless you nominated the incredible, amazing Rory McCann in the Best Leading Actor category.
Best episode: a tie between The Spoils of War (for fields of fire 2.0 but also a more understated behind-the-scenes gameplay feel compared to previous episodes) and The Dragon and the Wolf (it felt the closest to seasons 1-4 with it’s character interactions)
Best actor: so, I’m not realy sure whether Alfie Allen’s Theon is in a leading or supporting group but I nominee him in either category you put him in (or he has more chance to win :3). Theon has one of the best character arcs, imho, and Allen has been depicting it superbly throughout all seven seasons. One of the things about his acting that I find particularly notable are the subtle differences between pre-Reek and post-Reek Theon and the not-so-subtle differences between either and Reek. This season brought back all of these personas (majorly post-Reek Theon, Reek at the end of the sea battle scene and hints of pre-Reek Theon while sassing Euron alongside Tyrion and grinning at the beach). So yeah, a driftwood award for him. As for other actors:
Best leading actor: I suppose one of Lannister brothers (Peter Dinklage or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). I liked the loyalty conflicts both of them had to face this season (oversimplifying they both have to choose between the Lannister legacy and “what’s right”) and both actors depicted it in a very believeable manner – although each with his own undertones to it.
Best supporting actor: Aiden Gillen. One has to appreciate the way he still managed to feel like real Littlefinger with almost nothing but being-creepy-next-to-walls to go on.
Best guest actor: is Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion) in this category? Also, i thought James Faulkner (Randyll Tarly) and Mark Gatiss (Tycho Nestoris) were pretty good.
Best leading actress: again, a tie between queen in the south and regent in the north. I found both Lena Headey’s and Sophie Turner’s performances this season realy good. At the end of season 6 they have both established themselves as someone they want to believe they totally are (the mad queen and the lady of Winterfell-who-supports-king-in-the-north (yes, I do believe Cersei isn’t fully comfortable in the situation she put herself in, her attitude towards power feels more like a desperate addiction than comfort of achievement)), in this one they both have inner struggles they don’t want to admit to themselves they have (eg. Cersei after Jaime leaves her beacuse of her own choices and Sansa whenever she has to deal with consequences other people’s choices) and both actresses gave very nuanced performances of that.
Best supporting/guest actress (again, I’m confused who goes to which category): Olenna Tyrell’s (Diana Rigg) mikedrop and Yara Greyjoy’s (Gemma Whelan) facial monologue “Meet the Greyjoys” both deserve some small laurels.
Best new costume: Daenerys’ black high collar outfit as well as the rest of the results of Slavers Bay shopping spree
Best quote: Davos and skeletons on thrones. It’s both chillng, true and guilty-pleasure-style badass. Additional kudos to Olenna’s “It was me”.
Funniest quote: ser Davos’ royal PR skills and Tyrion-Theon vs. Euron minor sass off
Best speech: Olenna’s version of “rest is silence” and Theon’s psychoanalysis. Also, Tyrion’s “welcome, all you who don’t like each other” speech and Cersei’s mummers’ show in the Dragonpit.
BVE: fields of fire 2.0. Drogon felt very natural and blended in with the rest of a scene which showed the horror of overpowering weapon in action.
Best Death Scene: again, Olenna’s. Altough Tarly barbecue was good too.
Funniest scene: probably Tyrion and Varys ruminating on postal service. Simple, yet the world needed Varys claiming he wouldn’t read a private letter.
Best Dramatic Scene: either a conversation between Tyrion and Cersei in e7 (I can’t recall the last time I was actually happy a character’s plot armor is so thick) or Cersei poisoning Tyene.
Best fight: Theon vs. Harrag. It was great in it’s own right (acting and choreography aside, it was asctually plotwise meaningful) but other than that I can’t think of any other small scale fight which actually stood out this season. Brienne vs. Arya was also good. Too good and pleasing for my taste, but good. I would mention Jaime vs. Drogon but I count it as a part of fields of fire 2.0. Similarily with fellowship of the wight vs. polar bear.
Best battle: sea battle or fields of fire 2.0
To: Greatjon of Slumber
With the polls closing in less than 24 hours, I wanted to make a few additional nominations, but haven’t been able to figure out how to categorize some of them. I do not want to make your vote-sorting job more difficult.
Specifically, some “funniest quotes” are embedded in a funniest scene (eg Sandor chastising Gendry for whinging in S7e6) or are only “funny” in context – not in isolation (for example, Arya’s nonchalant reply, “One or two”, in S7e2). So, I may include surrounding dialogue for context, or try to designate multiple lines in a “funniest scene” that qualify as “funniest quotes.”
Also, as the article recognizes, the distinction between a “leading” and “supporting” role is often blurry.* This season in partucular, I thought some past “supporting” performers “held up the show and their [own] storylines”, and some past “leading” performers served to support other, more prominent leads. Therefore, I may nominate someone in more than one category.
Sorry for being so long-winded…
* From descriptions in article;
Leading Actor/Actress: “favorite leading performers, the ones who hold up the show and their storylines”
Supporting Actress/Actor: “supporting categories, suitable for regular/recurring Game of Thrones actors who support the leads.”
Best Leading/Supporting Actor: Alfie Allen (Theon)
He’s been deserving a nomination since season 2 imo, how he still doesn’t have one is beyond my understanding. Theon is by far the most difficult character to portray in the show, Alfie basically had to play a different Theon every season and he nailed it.
Best Supporting Actor: Alfie Allen

Here are my nominations Part Three:
Best Quote:-
There’s only one war that matters. The Great War. And it is here. – Jon Snow
Heroes do stupid things and they die. – Daenerys Targaryen
Are you a sheep? No. You’re a dragon. Be a dragon. – Olenna Tyrell
Shall we begin? – Daenerys Targaryen
He was going to execute me. He knew I was innocent. He didn’t hate me because of anything I did, he hated me because of what I am! A little monster sent to punish him! – Tyrion Lannister
I’m not sure this one counts as a quote:
You love her. You really do love her. You poor fool. She’ll be the end of you…She’s a disease. I regret my role in spreading it. You will, too. – Olenna Tyrell
Funniest Quote:-
He really was a cunt, wasn’t he? – Olenna Tyrell
You got to keep moving. That’s the secret. Walking’s good, fighting’s better, fucking’s best. – Tormund Giantsbane
You want us to man the castles for you? Looks like we’re the Night’s Watch now. – Tormund Giantsbane
You should try it. Feels wonderful. – Euron Greyjoy
So here I am, with a thousand ships…and two good hands! – Euron Greyjoy
No need to seize the last word, Lord Baelish. I’ll assume it was something clever. – Sansa Stark
I wasn’t sure I’d find you. Thought you might still be rowing. – Davos Seaworth
He’ll do. – Tyrion Lannister, agreeing with Davos on bringing Gendry in
Come on! You can suck his magic cock later. – Bronn
It appears Tyrion’s assessment was correct. We’re fucked. – Jon Snow
That is indeed a problem. The more immediate problem is that we’re fucked. – Tyrion Lannister
Best Speech:-
I don’t plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. I might be small, Lord Glover, and I might be a girl, but I am every bit as much a Northerner as you…And I don’t need your permission to defend the North. We’ll begin training every man, woman, boy and girl on Bear Island. – Lyanna Mormont
Enemies to the east. Enemies to the south… Ellaria Sand and her brood of bitches. Enemies to the west… Olenna, the old cunt. Another traitor. Enemies to the north. Ned Stark’s bastard has been named King in the North and that murdering whore Sansa stands beside him. Enemies everywhere. We’re surrounded by traitors. – Cersei Lannister
I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn’t seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn’t crossed the sea, any sea. They did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will. – Daenerys Targaryen
Tyrion’s Casterly Rock speech
Bran’s speech about Jon’s true parentage
These maesters… they set me to the task of preserving that man’s window counting and annulments and bowel movements for all eternity, while the secret to defeating the Night King’s probably sitting on some dusty shelf somewhere, completely ignored. But that’s all right, isn’t it? We can all become slavering, murderous imbeciles in thrall to evil incarnate as long as we can have access to the full records of High Septon Maynard’s 15,782 shits! – Samwell Tarly
You love your family, and I have destroyed it. I will always be a threat. So put an end to me… If it weren’t for me, you’d have a mother. If it weren’t for me, you’d have a father. If it weren’t for me, you’d have two beautiful children. I’ve thought about killing you more times than I can count. Do it! Say the word. – Tyrion Lannister
This place was the beginning of the end for my family. A dragon is not a slave. They were terrifying. Extraordinary. They filled people with wonder and awe, and we locked them in here. They wasted away. They grew small. And we grew small as well. We weren’t extraordinary without them. We were just like everyone else. – Daenerys Targaryen
We are a group of people who do not like one another, as this recent demonstration has shown. We have suffered at each other’s hands. We have lost people we love at each other’s hands. If all we wanted was more of the same, there would be no need for this gathering. We are entirely capable of waging war against each other without meeting face-to-face. – Tyrion Lannister

BEst leading/supporting actor: Alfie Allen
Best leading actor OR/AND Best supporting actor: Alfie Allen
I’m honestly not sure he can be nominated in the leading actor category, that’s why I’m adding the supporting actor category too. He deserves EVERY praise he gets and it’s not even enough, it’s unreal how much emotion and sensibility he put into his character. It’s like he played at least three different characters in the past 7 seasons, the Theon pre-Ramsay, Reek, the Theon post-Ramsay, and to be honest it’s even more than that. And in this season alone, what he did was incredible, from the characterisation of his own trauma to the relief in his final scene after the fight. And the body language! He doesn’t even need lines to express it all, he was fantastic this season and gave his character all the dignity he deserves. So much talent.

Sandor: I’ve known you a long time, Dondarrion…
And I always thought you were dull as dirt. You’re not bad. I don’t hate you. Don’t like you, but you’re not bad.
Beric: Thank you, Clegane. That warms the heart.
THE NOMINATION PERIOD IS NOW CLOSED!
Thank you all! We’ll get to work tallying the noms. 🙂
