Game of Thrones will be competing at tonight’s Emmy Awards, celebrating the year’s best in television and many of the show’s stars have arrived in Los Angeles to support Game of Thrones. The red carpet has been busy at the Microsoft Theater, with Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Gwendoline Christie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maisie Williams and more making appearances.
Game of Thrones has already won 8 Creative Arts Emmys this year. Tonight they’ll be competing for several more awards including:
Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (2 nominations- Jeremy Podeswa for “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken” and David Nutter for “Mother’s Mercy”) – WON! David Nutter, for directing “Mother’s Mercy”
Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series (“Mother’s Mercy”) – WON! Congratulations to David Benioff and D.B. Weiss!
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (2 nominations- Emilia Clarke and Lena Headey) – Lost to Uzo Aduba of Orange is the New Black
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Peter Dinklage) – WON! Congratulations to Peter Dinklage!
Outstanding Drama Series – WON!!! Congrats to the entire cast and crew of the show!
We’ll be following the ceremony and updating this post with wins (and losses) as time rolls on.
The Game of Thrones cast hit the event’s red carpet with a vengeance and brought their usual brand of shenanigans along with them:

They all look amazing. I really hope the show wins in its category for best drama …although I don’t think it will happen.. I feel like Game of Thrones will always be snubbed in that category.
DeesensfanQuote Reply
Carice, Gwen, and Maisie – pink perfection! Lena is stunning but I hate the dress (and I’m sure it’s very current, etc etc). So nice to see her!
Men put on a nice suit and instantly look great. Love the Conleth/John/Alfie squeeze. 🙂 This is fun.

RygarQuote Reply
Pigeon,
It’s funny, I think Lena looks fantastic in her dress, and I like the dress, whereas I think Carice, as beautiful as she is, the color washes her out, and the cut makes her look big, and she certainly isn’t big. Mind you, I don’t like pink, but I think Maise looks fantastic.
It just goes to show how different people’s tastes can be.

HBO hasn’t actually been winning that much at the main ceremony outside of the miniseries categories in the last few years, but they’re totally dominating this year. Veep has already won three Emmys and seems like a pretty good bet to take Comedy Series; Olive Kitteridge won almost everything in the miniseries category other than supporting actress; we’ll see if GOT (and/or Boardwalk Empire can hold up its end in the drama categories).

It was submitted. It just wasn’t nominated.
Nutter’s a reliable old hand at directing, and did a good job with the finale. I have one or two quibbles, but a good win.
Sean C.Quote Reply
Nymeria Warrior Queen,
Yes it does! I just don’t like the beading and poof out at the hips. Love her makeup. I don’t think Carice looks big at all. Now, remember when Gwyneth Paltrow played dress up with a pink dress 6 sizes too big? Eek….
I love that Maisie always carries a distracting accessory.

Peter should’ve won an Emmy for season 4, but who really cares. Dinklage rocks!

JoffreyTrueKing,
Isn’t it just possible that voters liked what he had to do? Why is that so hard to accept? Or maybe they felt he deserved it in S4 and this was the make up award. To 99.99% of the GoT audience (i.e., people not on here), Dinklage IS Game of Thrones.
RavynQuote Reply
Indeed, she deserves that. Peter should have mentioned Alfie Allen as well though…
Tar KidhoQuote Reply
I am devastated about Lena. She was robbed. OITNB is a fucking COMEDY series! And that is coming from someone who watches it faithfully. The Walk of Shame and Lena’s flawless and expressive performance was the definition of DRAMA. So upset.
And seriously, Peter Dinklage??? I love Tyrion as a character, but his acting isn’t a patch on Lena’s. Not to mention he did nothing of note all season.
So lame!

I have to disagree with those of you who said Peter didn’t have much to do this past season. I felt he did plenty, and as he said, the writing for him was as excellent as his delivery of it. He could win anytime really. He’s one of the most naturally gifted actors I’ve ever seen as is Lena.

MQuote Reply
SciFiFantasyGirl,
I don’t get why people say Dinklage / Tyrion didn’t have that much to do in season five. Tyrion’s trial was more flashy, and Dinklage should’ve won for season four, but he was great throughout this season; with Varys, with Jorah, with Dany. All amazingly written and acted. In season four he had a few great, flashy moments, but let’s not forget he spent most of the season in a cell.

Wow, I wasn’t expecting such a sweep of the awards, especially considering they ignored this series so much in the past…. I mean, they give it to Peter Dinklage in season 5??? but not in 3 or 4??? Honestly, considering the material he had he didn’t even deserve to be nominated. IMO the best parts and performances belonged to Alfie Allen and Stephen Dillane… But hey, the Emmies have become so much like a popularity prize….
If Podeswa had won I would’ve been angry because so much of that episode was bad… maybe especially the directing. Nutter deserved it.
vladQuote Reply
Darquemode,
Again I ask is this factual?
If it is, that’s pretty fucking amazing. A show that all the “series drama” people thumbed their noses at in the beginning because it had fantasy elements.
I guess an adult fantasy, if done right, can be pretty fucking good huh?
Not only do they have the ratings and profits to prove it, they now have the hardware on their shelves.
Can anything stop GoT?
ArthurQuote Reply
This show has been just absolutely extraordinary for five seasons. In many ways, it’s a win that’s the culmination of seasons I think. The writing, directing, acting, cinematography, casting, MUSIC, just everything has been stunning. And it gets bigger and bigger each year, and the expectations higher, and they lose characters and bring on new ones we love/love to hate, and just keep going.
GRRM has created an exception universe, but D&D have brought it to life and lived in it and grown it, and they deserve so much credit for it.
Holy fuck I can’t wait for the next three seasons.

Really? On my many rewatches of Season 5, I ALWAYS, every single time, savor all of Tyrion’s scenes. ALL of them. With Varys, with the Braavosi whore, with Jorah, Valyria, cock merchants, Daenerys, Hizzy, even swooning over Drogon. More powerful and consistent than the flashes of brilliance in Season 4, though he should have won then too. Dinklage is just consistently terrific.
So, so happy about GoT winning Best Drama. And filming tomorrow going on in Ireland and Spain as D&D mentioned.
O/T, but I am truly sad about Tatiana Maslany not winning. She is simply phenomenal, better than any actress I have seen recently in anything. Hopefully next year.

If these Emmy wins (along with everything else) convince HBO to up the budget even more for seasons seven and eight, that would be amazing.

I agree one hundred percent but there are many people (that I specifically know of, co-workers). That when I bring up GoT and ask them why they don’t watch it, they say something like “I can’t get into that fantasy stuff with dragons and stuff.” I try to explain to them exactly what you just said but the fantasy elements close their brain, its like a prejudice against anything fantasy.
That is what I am saying.
For the first few years of GoT I think the industry kind of looked down upon it for that same reason, prejudice against anything with fantasy elements.
But now GoT has reached a point where it can’t be ignored, where people and critics alike have watched it and realized this isn’t Lord of the Rings.

I was thank you tweeting the Emmys after every win, not that they’ll ever see my tweets, but still. This was my closing tweet to them:
“I hope this inspires other award shows to give more serious consideration to everything that goes into putting out a science fiction and fantasy series, as well as the quality of the actors that are involved in them.”
I’m really hoping this is a change in the tide. As GRRM has mentioned, Peter Jackson had really helped with breaking some boundaries with the incredible adaptations of Tolkien’s work, but this goes way back to science fiction and fantasy novelists such as C.S Lewis, HG Wells, Douglas Adams, and Sydney Newman and Eugene Roddenberry (and many more) for applying such creativity to television. Much more needs to be done as to garnering the recognition of the writers, actors and directors so hopefully tonight is a step towards that.

Congratulations to D&D, HBO, David Nutter, Peter Dinklage, all the production crew members in Belfast, N.I. and Spain and of course one of the greatest casts in television history. Finally your peers have acknowledged what we the GoT viewers of the world have known since the first season, GoT is a member of that exclusive club of greatest television series of all time. The Emmy’s were also kind enough to place an exclamation point tonight, a record twelve, that’s 12 Emmy’s, seven hells yea, WOOT!!!

BoudicaQuote Reply
Again, I’m going to have to disagree, just because I have been reading and watching science fiction and fantasy for a long time. Yes, GOT (books and show) has brought more of a maturity to the fantasy stereotype, but if you read books from Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Terry Goodkind, R.A Salvatore and Robert Jordan (just to name a few) you’d see that there is actually a lot more adult orientated work out there. And then you have Tolkien and C.S Lewis and Terry Brooks and so on who write for both adult and various ages of children’s enjoyment. If you haven’t read any of the above authors give them a try. You won’t be disappointed 🙂

But I think that the prior posters are correct in that this is the stereotype of fantasy. It basically gets dismissed by a lot of people because it is commonly viewed as just escapist tripe. And, to be fair, most fantasy is more interested in “world building” than in storytelling.
Now, there are exceptions, and Thrones is one of them. Thrones might be the one that helps communicate that it is possible to use fantastic scenarios as interesting thought experiments about how characters would develop and evolve in strange circumstances without getting too bogged down in those circumstances. Or, to stand Damon Knight on his head, you can put a map in the beginning of a book or show and tell a modern story in that book/show at the same time!

I’m not sure if anyone else notices this, but I find the Emmy’s very “rah rah America” when it comes to the wins. Predominately British actors and shows rarely win in their nominations and Peter, surprise, is American who has now won twice.
I’m not saying this is why things go the way they do….but it’s an interesting thought. Many people have said that was the case with Peter Jackson’s films being shot and produced outside of the U.S. But as I said, who knows….

Again, I disagree. All of Tolkien’s books have incredible storytelling, some so intensely intricate that there is no way to translate all of it to a screen. And his is spread out into a lot of books and songs and poetry etc.
Really, I would say excluding the difference in style and age they were written in, they are pretty equal when it comes to content, just one is more adult and one is more family.
But as I’ve said to another poster, we can agree to disagree. I don’t like to judge one against the other so to speak. But I am glad the glass ceiling appears to be breaking for recognition for the genre.

The outlined eyes and red lip is a horrible makeup trend. Maisie’s shoes make her feet look like Clydesdale hooves. Gwen looks like she’s mocking that woman’s pose. Lena and Sophie’s outfits looked better from far away on tv. Alfie has weird proportions. Conleth & GRRM looked great. Does the series win mean more money for season 7?

That is an interesting observation.
At the end of the day it is just great to see the show get 12 awards, no matter where they come from. Although I was really hoping that Lena Heady would get an award. Maybe next year. 🙂
BoudicaQuote Reply
I’m guessing you are British, yes?
KayQuote Reply
I’ve actually had a chance to go back and look at the outfits, and I weigh in as follows:
Gwendoline: Loved the dress, hated the washed-out print. A solid colour or a bolder print would have been better. Hair and makeup were on point. She needed some jewelry.
Maisie: Too Legally Blonde (pink and matchy-matchy). She should have ditched the fluffy shoes and penguin purse. Makeup wasn’t too bad, but the pink glossy lip and weirdly dark brows did her no favours. Extensions looked good.
Sophie: What was going on? Hair wasn’t properly styled, or really styled at all. She was wearing a 90s-style dark brownish matte lip (and not in a good way). Unflattering clothes. The tube top and tapered pants drew attention to her very broad shoulders. She looked like a big inverted triangle. The pants weren’t properly hemmed, either. Epic fail, if anyone says that anymore.
Carice: The dress was a beautiful colour for her dark brown hair, but the fabric was too wrong, all weirdly stiff like plastic (someone on another board described it as looking like an unfolded shower curtain), and the length was all wrong, too (it needed to be longer or shorter). Harsh red lip was very aging on her, too.
Lena: I actually loved the dress; burgundy’s a great colour for her. Makeup seemed harsh and aging.
Amanda Peet: She’s too old for cutout midriff dresses, and the severe, tight bun and harsh red lip were not a good look (and very aging for someone trying to pull off a cutout midriff dress).

While I certainly think they deserve them I was not expecting them to win so big.
I am a little sad for Lena, though, who I think is by far the best actress on GOT in all seasons so far. While I initially was disappointed by the look of the show Cersei (i.e., not matching my book imagination) she immediately convinced me and made Cersei such an interesting character. Well, all good things are three, so hopefully she wins next year.
Last thing: happy birthday George! What a birthday present!

I don’t even get why that’s supposed to be a bad thing.
I also don’t believe literary criticisms like that are the reason fantasy isn’t recognized as “serious” entertainment. It’s simply what people are used to. As long as fantasy was a nerd niche hobby you didn’t need to take it seriously. As soon it’s on TV winning awards, you have to. Of course the genre itself also adapts to the medium.

I have to admit, I’m a little shocked with the outrage some are expressing. (To be clear- NOT on this site) Threatening DEATH to writers who are trying to create an enjoyable viewing experience is WRONG. I don’t care if you agree or disagree with the content presented, show some respect for people who are trying very hard to please everyone.
In the wake of such a winning day, there will always be those who will be unhappy. I can respect people for expressing their opinions but I cannot and will NEVER respect someone threatening death over a FICTIONAL STORY. Please don’t get me wrong, ASOIAF has deeply become part of my life and imagination. As with everything/anything one falls in love with, there are things one wishes could change. When one realizes they love something so much, you take the good with the bad, Sand Snakes and all.
Just because one is “Angry” with certain choices made does not give one the right to threaten ones life. Shameful behaviour.
How about we all celebrate our difference in opinions instead of threatening people who, in all honesty, have done an incredible job of bringing something so wonderful to the lives of many?
While I do maintain we are all entitled to opine as we see fit, I absolutely draw the line at threatening harm.

You’re welcome. 🙂 It’s too bad the ladies couldn’t make a better show of it, considering it turned out to be a huge night for GOT.

Book Cersei has gained a fair amount of weight by the time the walk happens (there’s a bit in AFFC where she’s complaining about her gowns mysteriously shrinking)–I’ve even seen some speculation that Book Cersei’s weight gain is attributable to pregnancy–so it would have worked.
