The book also features contributions from A Song of Ice and Fire series author George R.R. Martin, and from creators/executive producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.
As a special treat for you, we have an exclusive preview of the foreword from Inside HBO’s Game of Thrones: Seasons 3 & 4, which includes an interview with Benioff and Weiss sharing their thoughts on bringing Game of Thrones to life.

After weeks of voting, we’ve finally reached the last of the preliminary rounds for the Watchers on the Wall Awards! Today, we’ll be voting on Best Visual Effects Scene, celebrating the moments on Game of Thrones when VFX made good scenes great, and great scenes a classic.
Starting next week, we will be jumping right into the finals round. The voting will be fast-paced, with shorter voting periods, so stop by often to make your voice heard when it comes to picking the final winners among the top 5 finalists. The awards show date will be announced soon, as well.
It looks like things are moving slowly but inevitably towards the point where HBO’s streaming service HBO Go will be offered directly to customers with broadband access, cutting out the middle man in the form of cable TV providers.
Over the last week, Game of Thrones has been shooting at Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Croatia. After recent flooding in the area, there had been worries that filming would be affected, perhaps halted altogether.
Luckily, despite a volume of 38 liters of flood water per square meter, filming was able to proceed as planned both yesterday and today. Many fans were happy to report the news on Twitter.
Every season, Game of Thrones delivers the action goods with most episodes having an enjoyable sequence, whether it’s a one-on-one duel or a chaotic brawl. And so there’s no lack of nominees for today’s prelim category in the Watchers on the Wall Awards: Best Action Scene.
Unsurprisingly, many of the fan-submitted nominees do come from the same episode, but we’re not voting on an episode here! Choose your five favorite action scenes from the list. You can choose fewer, but you can’t choose more.
