It’s that time of year again, when we look back on the season and celebrate the best of Game of Thrones. The Watchers on the Wall Awards are entirely in your hands, and the choosing begins now.
How does it work? The initial suggestions for nominees in every award category come from 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, and we choose our ultimate season 6 winners!
For a more detailed explanation of the process, jump to the Rules & Process below.
The categories are:
Your favorite leading performers, the ones who hold up the show and their storylines:
Best Leading Actor
Best Leading Actress
The supporting categories, suitable for regular/recurring Game of Thrones actors who support the leads:
Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress
Our 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? Actors and actresses with credited appearances in 1-3 episodes in Season 6, and no more than 10 episodes total for the entire series. Check the performer’s credits on IMDB if you’re uncertain if they qualify.
Best Guest Actor
Best Guest Actress
Best Death Scene: because there is death and carnage galore on GoT. Pick your faves!
Best Visual Effects Sequence/Scene: dragons, wildfire, White Walkers, oh my! So many to choose from, think long and hard. Be specific!
Funniest Scene: we mean actually funny/witty, not “I thought it was so bad, it made me laugh.” Because people always forget just how funny Game of Thrones can be.
Best Dramatic Scene: the scene with the moments that had you glued to the screen, eyes wide, weeping, shouting, begging for more. The very best of Game of Thrones.
Our Action categories always present something of a pickle, for us and the fans voting- how do you put an entire battle up against a graceful duel? A punch-’em-up against a wide-scale dragon roasting? The answer of course is you don’t.
So we’re splitting the Best Action category into two- one for the bigger-scale action sequences, and a second for the smaller-scale fight scenes.
Best Big Action Sequence
Best Fight
*Please be specific! For example, “Battle of the Bastards” doesn’t cut it as a nomination because that’s the episode name, and the episode contains both the Winterfell and Meereen battles. If you’re not sure which category it belongs in, nominate the scene you have in mind anyway and we’ll figure it out. It’s all in good fun!*
The wordy categories:
Best Speech/Monologue
Funniest Quote (clever/funny one-liners. Not the same thing as funniest scene.)
All-around Best Quote: the lines you love that may not be funny but are just as brilliant and memorable.
For Best Episode, every season 6 episode will go into the final pool, so no nominations are needed.
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, August 11th, 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 6 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.
Got it? Good! Let’s do this!
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. (Feel free to check out last year’s winner post!)
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, August 11th, 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!
Alleras!!

“I’m friends with your mother. I’m here to help. Don’t eat the help. When I was a child my uncle asked what gift I wanted for my name day. I begged him for one of you. It wouldn’t even have to be a big dragon I told him. It could be little, like me. Everyone laughed like it was the funniest thing they’d ever heard. Then my Father told me the last dragon had died a century ago. I cried myself to sleep that night… but here you are.”
– Arya when she first meets Lady Crane:
“The Queen loves her son, more than anything, and he was taken from her before she could say goodbye. She wouldn’t just cry, she would be angry. She would want to kill the person who did this to her.”
– Lady Olenna conversing with Cersei before leaving KL:
“I wonder if you’re the worst person I’ve ever met. At a certain age it’s hard to recall, but the truly vile do stand out through the years. Remember the way you smirked at me when my grandson and granddaughter were dragged off to their cells? I do. I’ll never forget it.”

Pigeon,
He was in a lot more than 10 episodes total so he’s not a guest actor. He goes into Supporting.
I’ve been looking forward to these for a few weeks! Let’s celebrate the greatness that was Season 6! 🙂

*Note: Even though they appeared in only five episodes apiece, I’m choosing to nominate Iwan Rheon and Natalie Dormer as lead actors because, in my opinion, they served as the leads of their own storylines for most of the season. Ramsay was the primary character in Winterfell for the season’s first four episodes, and a co-lead in “Battle of the Bastards” (along with Jon and Sansa). Margaery was not as prominent in King’s Landing as Cersei, but she was isolated from the Small Council politics for most of the season as she worked to escape the clutches of the Faith. In most of the scenes in which she appeared prior to “The Winds of Winter”, she was the “main” character, as she served as the de facto POV during the trial at the Sept. This stands in contrast to characters like Davos or Brienne, who appeared in more episodes but primarily supported Jon and Sansa. There are exceptions, of course -prior to Jon’s resurrection, at Riverrun, etc. – so it’s a purely subjective judgment, but that’s the reasoning I’m using.

Just a general heads up to pay attention to the limits on the Guest Actor/Actress category: 1-3 episodes in season 6, no more than 10 episodes total for the entire series. It’s really a category for people with briefer appearances on the show.

best episode: the winds of winter and the door i cant dicide
I love these awards so much. I don’t know why they’re the threads I most enjoy reading.
I like the rules on guest actor’s/actresses. I think similar rules were put in place last year and I appreciated them then too. Glad that they can be in 3 episodes as opossed to just two. So many (like Von Sydow and Bella Ramsey) would not count if it was just two, but the 10 episode overall limit is a smart way to separate the guests from the big actor’s who just had less material this year (like Iain Glen, who was only in 3 episodes this year I think).
Also liked the different category for best speech as opossed to best line. Ditto for big action vs fight. You guys always seem to improve the rules every year

For Best Episode: ep10, ep2, the door, ep9
Yesssss! I love this!
Best Leading Actor: Kit Harington. I think he efectively expressed a wide range of emotions this season from wtf happened here to fear to dispair to bewilderment to rage to sadness to savagery to tenderness and he smiled way more than in previous seasons. Jon is not the same he was prior to his death, but the changes have been rather subtle.
Best Leading Actress: Lena Heady for sure. Nobody does a smug like she does, but she also broke my heart when she ran to the shore to wait for Jaimie and Myrcella and realized her daughter was dead. You could see the transformation inside of her in every new interaction with Tommen. It was like she was peeling layers of her old self, becoming more and more de-sensitized…
Best Supporting Actor: I must say Liam Cunningham. The emotion in his voice when he confronted Melisandre about Shireen was so moving. And he makes Davos a smart, relatable guy. I loved his scenes with Melisandre, Jon, Lyana Mormont, Dolorous Edd and the other loyal NW and Tormund.
Best Supporting Actress: I had several candidates, including Gwendolyn Christie and Carice van Houten, but in the end I propose Ellie Kendrick, despite her short screentime. Meera’s humongous effort, her dispair when the wights almost caught them, and her protective move towards Bran were very moving… she had gone to the moon a back, so to speak, lost a brother, got bored like crazy, and still fought to take Bran out of the cave while shouting “hold the door”… She was so brave and fought so hard, and still she was crying “I’m sorry”. That was heartbreaking!
Best Guest Actor – Ian McShane. I would have looooved to have him for a few more episodes. I instantly liked his character, his humanity, his sense of humor so unlike anything in GoT… That´s making a splash.
Best Guest Actress: Bella Ramsay…. OMG… She was fantastic as Lyanna Mormont! What is it with the GoT kids!! Maisie, Sophie, Isaac, Kerry, Brenick O’Connor (Olly) and now her… The way she stopped her adviser from talking any further, the way she cut short Jon’s and Sansa’s condescending and inconsequential talk; they way she sold those 62 brave Mormont men; the way she called those lords who refused “The Call”; the look she gave Ramsay Bolton… I love her!!! When I grow up I want to be like her…
Best Death Scene: There were so many different deaths this year, it’s hard to choose. I have several and in no order in particular (cannot make up my mind)
-Hodor’s death. The most moving… I confess I cried… Shame! Shame! Shame on me!
-Margaery Tyrell and all the other people in the Sept. The most nerve racking and painful (I did not want Margaery to die!)
-Small Jon Umber’s – Oh shit, Tormund, that most hurt!
-Ramsay Bolton: the most satisfying
-Aliser Thorne’s, Olly’s and the other “mutineers” – satisfying until a point it turned sour… I felt, like Jon, that a kid had been killed.
– The two slave masters pieces-of-crap killed by Grey Worm (cool move)
-Tommen Baratheon: surprising and sad. The first and only decision he ever made… and he ended becoming a joke… (king landing…)
-The death of the khals… take that you misogynist bastards!
– On a very personal note: Arthur Dayne’s death – the most unfair. I have always been intrigued by the Daynes, and by Arthur in particular… the fact that we only got to see him once was painful for me, as I had many tin foil theories (which of course now I will never share).
Best Visual Effects Sequence/Scene: I know, I know be specific… but actually my two suggestions are from episode 9: The dragons attacking the slavers’ boat and the Vale army disrupting Ramsay’s circle of shields.
Honorary mention to the wildfire explotion of Baelor’s Sept.
Super special honorary mention to Jon’s resurrection: Kit’s back and bum… hmmm that diserves a category in itself! (sorry, got a bit distracted)
Funniest Scene: Again, a few candidates. My favorite: the negotiation between The Hound and Beric Dondarion regarding who would kill whom. That was sinister comedy, very GoT style.
Other funny scenes:
– Tormund, Brienne and Dolorous Edd at dinner… that was very funny
-Tormund and Brienne when she was leaving towards the Riverlands and he to the Northern Houses tour.
– The Queen of Thornes’ dismissal of the Sand Snakes… I loved it! “What’s your name Barbara?”
-The scene between Khal Morro? and his bloodriders: “Seing a beautiful naked woman for the first time is among the five best things in life…”
-Lyanna Mormont dismissing Sansa’s and Jon’s entreaties…
-The Hound and Ian McShane’s character: “how many men were needed to put you down?” “One… and it was a woman…
Best Dramatic Scene:
1) The transition from baby Jon to older Jon – I was fist-pumping, clapping, crying all at the same time, and I just waited for 6 years to learn of this revelation! I cannot imagine those who waited for 20 years.
– The King in the North
– Jon’s resurrection
– Hodor holding the door
– The first 20 minutes of episode 10 – the music, the rythm, everything… I could hardly breathe even though I knew what was coming.
– The death of Aliser Thorne, Olly and the others
– Tyrion receiving the Hand of the Queen badge.
-Davos confronts Melisandre about Shireen’s death
Best Big Action Sequence: Three from Battle of the Bastards
-Jon vs Ramsay’s cavalry (that absolutely beautiful shot)
-The one-minute sequence from Jon’s viewpoint when all hell broke lose
-Jon’s army getting surrounded by Bolton’s shields and Jon being trampled and buried. I could not breathe during the whole time he was trapped.
Best Fight: No contest here – Arthur “Badass Double-sworded” Dayne against Ned and the rest.
Best Speech/Monologue: two great ones.
-Lyanna Mormont’s speech at Winterfell: “Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton, and still you refused the call. But House Mormont remembers; the North remembers! We know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark. I don’t care if he’s a bastard. Ned Stark’s blood runs through his veins. He’s my king from this day until his last day!”
-Aliser Thorne’s last words to Jon: “I had a choice, Lord Comander: betray you or betray the NW. You brought an army of wildlings into our lands; an army of murderers and raiders. If I had to do it all over knowing where I would end up, I pray I made the right choice again… I fought, I lost and now I rest. But you, Lord Snow, you’ll be fighting their battles forever!” You could almost see Jon swallowing thick after that remark… Maybe that’s why Jon asked Melisandre not to revive him again!
Funniest Quote (clever/funny one-liners. Not the same thing as funniest scene.)
-(I’m friends with your mother. I’m here to help). “Don’t eat the help!” (Tyrion)
-(They think you’re some kind of god… I know you’re not. I saw your pecker.) “What kind of god would have a pecker so small?” (Tormund to Jon)
– “Not blond enough for you?” (Bronn to Jaimie)
All-around Best Quote: the lines you love that may not be funny but are just as brilliant and memorable.
-I choose violence (Cersei)
-You’re going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton, sleep well (Sansa)
-My watch has ended (Jon)
-Promise me, Ned (Lyanna Stark)
-Violence is a disease. You don’t cure it by spreading it to all people (Ian McShane’s character). The Hound’s reply is brilliant as well: “you don’t cure it by dying either”.
-We obviously didn’t communicate clearly. We are here to discuss your surrender, not mine. (Daenerys)
Oohh I forgot one more quote: WINTER IS HERE!!!

Hello everyone,
I will be sending my nominations later but I would like to suggest adding, if possible, a category for music. I know it must be already a lot of work to sort all this categories out, but I really feel music in this show has a real dramatic and plot value.
I would suggest nominations for best new music piece for this season and best use of music for dramatic purposes in a specific scene. (I make this distinction because musically I prefer new pieces like the light of the seven and the painless death but with regards to its use on a scene I have to give it to hold the door).
Also, thank you for helping us get through the long night of off-season. 🙂
With everybody nominating mostly the same scenes/actors/lines over and over again, it would be great if someone (ahem… Greatjon?) could compile an intermediate list of all the nominees. That way, people could maybe do a rewatch, concentrating specifically on things that they feel are still missing. Or do we really need one more nomination for Kit for best actor? 😉
I don’t know what’s going on but the past 2 days I cannot use this website as normal. It’s weird cause it only seems to be WOTW site. It bogs down and runs verrrry slow. Scrolling and even typing this out is taking forever because there’s a delay. Anybody know why this is???

Isaac Hempstead-Wright
Alfie Allen
The first four are pretty much the de-facto nominees for me, only clear leads. Wasn’t sure who should occupy the fifth spot. You could make a decent argument for Rheon or Bradley, but Allen was in it more than Bradley, and was the most main character in his storyline, unlike Rheon.

Best death is also hard to narrow down. These are my top five right now:
Hodor
Tommen
Ramsay
Margery
High Sparrow

Lancel, Olly, Alliser, Roose, Walda, Balon, Walder Frey, Pycelle, Ray, Loras

I would add Michael Feast for best guest actor. He plays Aeron Greyjoy and unlike Euron, his performance was spot on as the tough and stoic priest. His delivery of the drowning speech, in particular, was very awesome. Can’t wait to see more of him.
Best Speach: Aerons drowning speech!
I’ll think about the other categories later – but for speech or monologue, the one that sticks in my head is Edmure to Jamie in ep 8. ‘You imagine yourself a decent person…’ followed by ‘You’re a fine looking fellow… Tell me, how do you live with yourself? All of us have to believe that we’re decent…’ would be my nomination. It’s a little broken up by Jamie; basically it’s in two parts, but I think the second may be long enough to count as a ‘speech’.
I’m just catching up with the previous comments but haven’t seen this mentioned yet.
‘Let Euron, your servant, be born again from the sea as you were. Bless him with salt, bless him with stone, bless him with steel. Listen to the waves, listen to the God. He’s speaking to us and he says: ‘we shall have no king but Euron Greyjoy’. Let the sea wash your follies and your vanities away. Let the old Euron drown. Let his lungs fill with sea water. Let the fish eat the scales off his eyes. What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger!!

All-around Best Quote:
“A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And I am going home”
I found this very hard…so many memorable moments.
Not meaning to be a wet blanket, but what rereading all these nominated quotes really brings home to me is how much the writing on GoT suffered in Season 6. Even Tyrion’s ‘clever’ lines aren’t particularly clever. With Diana Rigg’s scenes, the biting humor is all in the delivery, not in the words themselves. Very little of it all feels quotable in the long term, I’m sorry to say. The scripts have really gone downhill.

Best Episode
The Winds of Winter
OK, here goes. Now in the middle of binge-rewatch, which will probably cause some re-thinking but these are what has most stayed with me…
Best Leading Actor
Kit Harington. He showed a wide range of acting talents, to display not only ‘action’ but the conflicting emotions of his resurrected character from shock, stunned incomprehension, puzzlement, amazement, to pure sibling love, doubt, weasriness, rage and eventual fighting for life during the battle, and very nearly losing himself in rage during that final fight with Ramsay. Finally the character has come to some kind of terms with what’s happened to him, and then he’s propelled into the ‘King in the North’ situation.
This range, to me, puts Harington in a category by himself for this season
Best Leading Actress
Lena Headey
Maisie would be a candidate too, though I think less strong. Pity there isn’t a ‘leading young actor’ category
Best Supporting Actor
Liam Cunningham
Jonathan Pryce
Best Supporting Actress
Ellie Kendrick
Natalie Dormer
Diana Rigg
Best Guest Actor
Tobias Menzies
runners up, Clive Russell, Ian McShane, David Bradley
Best Guest Actress

Ramsay

Wildfire below and in the Sept, with the explosion then going outside
Wun Wun, horses, men in ep 9 battle
Wights invading the cave in ‘the door’
Drogon attacking the ship in ep 9
Dragons being unchained in ep 2
And alas, not one scene, but all the little bits with Ghost in eps 1 & 2: we need more of this…
Funniest scene
Sam and the Bureacrat at the Citadel
Tormond and Brienne at dinner in CB
Best Dramatic scene
Jon’s resurrection in ep 2 from the washing and hair magic onward, followed up by (in ep 9) Jon’s second ‘resurrection’, being buried under the bodies in the battle, struggling upwards and gasping for breath.
Jon riding in his attempt to save Rickon, then Jon galloping and running onwards to face the cavalry charge.
Meera and Bran being rescued from wights by Benjen
Tower of Joy Lyanna scene with cut from baby to adult Jon.
Whole first part of ep 10 with ‘Light of the Seven’ playing

Tower of Joy
Jon vs Ramsay
Sandor vs the rogue BwB men, or Brienne/Pod/Theon vs the Bolton men

Best Speech/Monologue
As said already, Edmure to Jamie in Ep 8. If that’s too short or if a speech to one person doesn’t count, then Brother Ray, or Baby Bear at Winterfell.
Funniest Quote
‘I drink, and I know things’
‘And some mutton, I’d like some mutton…’
‘It’s a sad fookin statement if Dolorous Ed is our only chance’
‘Don’t eat the help’
(But really I didn’t find as much humour that worked in this season.)

followed by:

Personal nomination – most tug-the-heartstrings scene
Jon and Sansa reunion

Best Speech/Monologue
“For House Lannister. For House Frey. May we stand together, through the centuries, good friends to the last. And when we drive our swords through our enemies hearts, may we speak the words of our alliance: The Freys and the Lannisters send their regards”.
Firannion,
Well, for me, reading everyone’s favourite quotes made me realise the huge amount of great quotes this season. It was extremely difficult for me to pick my favorites, because I think the writing was great, minus some flaws. But every season of every show has its flaws. So, since I completely disagree with you, I guess it’s a matter of perspective and personal taste.
Also, this is a post where people submit nominations, so I think your post is irrelevant.
Firannion,
You do know that GRRM is a much more talented writer than D&D and co.
Give them a break.
Rhaenys Stark,
Agree

All-around Best Quote-Sansas parting words to ramsay before his dogs finish him!
Dee Stark,
Well if George R.R.Martin had finished the damn book a little sooner then D&D wouldn’t have to struggle to fix his mess. They try their best but people won’t stop complaining about the things they didn’t like while completely “forgetting” to talk about the things they liked. Anyway, this is a happy post, let’s get back to the nominations 🙂
I forgot to nominate Pilou Asbaek and Robert Aramayo in the guest actor categories! And Aisling Fransciosi in the guest actress one.

Dee Stark,
Dee you haven’t read the books so maybe don’t realize it but the show has very rarely included book quotes.They have been faithful to plot points and trajectories and the general gist of conversations was there but most of the dialogue is the writers’ creation.There have been inclusions obviously most of it in season one and each season has had some book quotes but almost all the dialogue monologues one liners etc are from the writers.So this percieved drop in quality in quotes or whatever has nothing to do with the moving past the books lol

Jenny,
Oh okay that’s not what I heard before. I heard that it’s becaause of moving past the books and that there is no
More source material to use so the quality has declined. That what I had heard before
Firannion,
That is you opinion, seeing all the quotes and monologues in one place, some I have overlooked perhaps, reminds me how great this season has been.
But this isn’t the purpose of this article at all, so besides spreading needless negativity, there are plenty of other articles you can voice your disapointment, I truly don’t see the purpose of your comment.
Even people who have complained just as much as you, if not more, nominate their favourite moments.
Dee Stark,
Martin has 8+ years to write a book, D&D have 6 months.
Jenny,
True, this is happening since season 3 more or less.
Dee Stark,
Yeah you are right that has been the main complaint.But I have seen people say that since we are now past the books the dialogue is bad or the lines aren’t funny without realizing that they never took qoutes from the books in any case lol.I guess they gave a backhanded compliment to D&D for past seasons haha.But all in all I agree with you they are doing the best they can considering they didn’t sign up for this in the first place

We can certainly agree to disagree without you, in effect, telling me to shut up.
Obviously that is my opinion, to which I am entitled as well as you are to your opinions.
And I did nominate one favorite moment, but it was all nonverbal acting. The more I thought about trying to make a list with quotes and speeches, the more I realized that I had relatively little to work with this year. Hence my chagin. You are free to disagree, but you are not the gatekeeper here who gets to say who can speak up and who cannot.
One person’s ‘needless negativity’ is another person’s critical thinking, and I will never get on board with the theory that being a fan of something requires one to shut one’s critical thinking faculties down. As it is part of my job to write a film review every week, I am always weighing both the positive and the negative aspects of any screen work, and cannot just switch that habit of analysis on and off. (In fact, if you were a reader of my reviews, I suspect that you would be surprised at how many nice things I find to say about movies that many other critics disliked!)

Firannion,
I did not tell you what to write or not.
Neither did I say you shouldn’t criticize the writing, directing….etc. Neither did I say ”you should shut your critical thinking faculties”
I said this is hardly the place to do so. There where plenty of other posts that you could’ve done it in, and there will be plenty more, and no one would have said anything at all.
But you are the only one who did it and, in my opinion, your comment came of as snarky and negative just for the sake of being negative.
Plenty of people here didn’t do all categories and there are some who outright hated this season and complained as much as you, if not more, but even they stuck to the subject of this post: nominating the moments we liked.

Best Speech/Monologue
Your uncle, Lord Commander Mormont, made that man his steward. He chose Jon to be his successor because he knew he had the courage to do what was right – even if it meant giving his life – because Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow both understood that the real war isn’t between a few squabbling houses. It’s between the living and the dead. And make no mistake, my lady, the dead are coming. – Davos Seaworth (The Broken Man)
Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton. Still, you refused the call. But House Mormont remembers. The north remembers. We know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark. I don’t care if he’s a bastard; Ned Stark’s blood runs through his veins. He’s my king from this day until his last day. – Lyanna Mormont (The Winds of Winter)
They just thought I was brave. I mean, I never ran from a fight – only cause I was afraid my friends would see I was afraid. That’s all I was, a coward who followed orders no matter the orders. Burn that village? Fine, I’m your arsonist. Steal that farmer’s crops? Good I’m your thief. Kill those young lads so they won’t take up arms against us? I’m your murderer. You know, I remember once a woman screaming at us calling us animals as we dragged her son from their hut. But we weren’t animals; animals are true to their nature and we had betrayed ours. I cut that young boy’s throat myself as his mother screamed and my friends held her back. That night I felt such shame. Shame was so heavy on me I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep; all I could do was stare into that dark sky and listen to that mother screaming her son’s name. I’ll hear her screaming the rest of my life. I know I can never bring that lad back; all I can do in the time I’ve got left is bring a little goodness into the world. That’s all any of us can do isn’t it? It’s never too late to stop robbing people, to stop killing people and start helping people. It’s never too late to come back. And it’s not about waiting for the gods to answer your prayers; it’s not even about the gods. It’s about you learning you have to answer your prayers yourself. – Brother Ray (The Broken Man)
My first-born son, my golden lion, foully, falsely slain. I pray you’ve found a lasting peace, free from strife and pain. Hear my prayer, oh cruel gods. Take my life instead, for I cannot face another day where my sweet boy is dead. Oh woe, oh grief, oh darkest day, my heart is full of sorrow. All hope is lost, all joy is gone, and there is no tomorrow. – Lady Crane (Blood of my Blood)
I’m friends with your mother. I’m here to help. Don’t eat the help! When I was a child, an uncle asked what gift I wanted for my nameday. I begged him for one of you; it wouldn’t even have to be a big dragon, I told him, it could be little like me. Everyone laughed like it was the funniest thing they’d ever heard, and my father told me the last dragon had died a century ago. I cried myself to sleep that night, but here you are. – Tyrion Lannister (Home)
Confess. Confess. Confess. Confess. It felt good. Beating me, starving me, frightening me, humiliating me. You didn’t do it because you cared about my atonement; you did it because it felt good. I understand. I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow, and all his little sparrows, all his septons, all his septas, all his filthy soldiers because it felt good to watch them burn. It felt good to imagine their shock and their pain. No thought has ever given me greater joy. Even confessing feels good under the right circumstances. – Cersei Lannister (The Winds of Winter)
Funniest Quote
It’s a sad fucking statement if Dolorous Edd is our only chance. – NW Loyalist (The Red Woman)
I know. I saw your pecker. What kind of God would have a pecker that small? – Tormund Giantsbane (Oathbreaker)
That was funny. Are you sure that’s still you in there? – Dolorous Edd (Oathbreaker)
And that wildling fellow with the beard….. – Brienne of Tarth (The Door)
Don’t say it. Don’t fucking say it. – Bronn (The Broken Man)
You’re shit at dying, you know that? – Sandor Clegane (No One)
I prefer chicken. – Sandor Clegane (No One)

I wasn’t drowning. I was home. – Bran Stark (Home)
The only traitors here are the ones who shoved their knives into their Lord
Commander’s heart. – Dolorous Edd (Home)
That’s what I do; I drink and I know things. – Tyrion Lannister (Home)
I don’t mock the Drowned God. I am the Drowned God. From Oldtown to Qarth, when men see my sails, they pray. – Euron Greyjoy (Home)
I fought. I lost. Now I rest. But you, Lord Snow, you’ll be fighting their battles forever. – Alliser Thorne (Oathbreaker)
Wear it. Burn it. Whatever you want. You have Castle Black. My watch is ended. – Jon Snow (Oathbreaker)
I’m tired of fighting. It’s all I’ve done since I left home. I’ve killed brothers of the Night’s Watch. I’ve killed wildlings. I’ve killed men that I admire. I hanged a boy, younger than Bran. I’ve fought, and I lost. – Jon Snow (The Book of the Stranger)
Did you know about Ramsay? If you didn’t know you’re an idiot. If you did know you’re my enemy. – Sansa Stark (The Door)
The other things he did…..ladies aren’t supposed to talk about those things, but I imagine brothel keepers speak about them all the time. I can still feel it. I don’t mean in my tender heart it pains me so. I can still feel what he did in my body standing here, right now. – Sansa Stark (The Door)
I am Theon Greyjoy, last living son of Balon Greyjoy, and she is your rightful ruler. Those of you that have sailed under her – and there are many of you here – you know what she is. She is a reaver. She is a warrior. She is ironborn. We will find no better leader. This is our queen. – Theon Greyjoy (The Door)
The time has come…..leave me. – Three-eyed Raven (The Door)
He can wield a sword. He killed a Thenn. He killed a White Walker. I saw it with my own eyes on our way down to Castle Black. He drove a dagger into the Walker’s heart. He risked his own life to save mine more than once. He’s a greater warrior than either of you will ever be. – Gilly (Blood of my Blood)
The crows killed him because he spoke for the Free Folk when no other southerners would. He died for us; if we’re not willing to do the same for him, we’re cowards. And if that’s what we are, we deserve to be the last of the Free Folk. – Tormund Giantsbane (The Broken Man)
As far as I understand, you’re a Snow. And Lady Sansa is a Bolton. Or is she a Lannister? I’ve heard conflicting reports. – Lyanna Mormont (The Broken Man)
Sixty Two. – Lyanna Mormont (The Broken Man)
As long as I’m standing the war is not over. This is my home. I was born in this castle, and I’m ready to die in it, so you can either attack or try to starve us out. We have enough provisions for two years. Do you have two years, Kingslayer? – Brynden Tully (The Broken Man)
Drop that arrow, you bloody girl. Tougher girls than you have tried to kill me. – Sandor Clegane (No One)
We all bloody die; except this one here. – Sandor Clegane (No One)
A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And I’m going home. – Arya Stark (No One)
I never demand, but I’m up for anything really – Yara Greyjoy (The Battle of the Bastards)
If I do…..if I fall…..don’t bring me back. – Jon Snow (The Battle of the Bastards)
Your words will disappear. Your House will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear. – Sansa Stark (The Battle of the Bastards)
I loved that girl like she was my own. She was good, she was kind, and you killed her. – Davos Seaworth (The Winds of Winter)
My name is Arya Stark. I want you to know that. The last thing you’re ever going to see is a Stark smiling down at you as you die. – Arya Stark (The Winds of Winter)
What is your name again? Barbara? Obara. You look like an angry little boy. Don’t presume to tell me what I need. – Olenna Tyrell (The Winds of Winter)
If Robert finds out, he’ll kill him. You know he will. You have to protect him. Promise me, Ned. Promise me. Promise me, Ned. Promise me. – Lyanna Stark (The Winds of Winter)
The war is not over. And I promise you, friend, the true enemy won’t wait out the storm. He brings the storm. – Jon Snow (The Winds of Winter)

Best Speech/Monologue: Lyanna Mormont’s King in the North speech. “Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore your allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton, still, you refused the call. But, House Mormont remembers. The North remembers! We know no King but the King of the North whose name is Stark. I don’t care if he’s a bastard. Ned Stark’s blood runs through his veins. He’s my king–from this day until his last day.”
Funniest Quote: From Smalljon Umber: “Your father was a cunt, and that’s why you killed him. I might have done the same to my father if he had not done me the favor of dying on his own.”
All-around Best Quote: Cersei’s confession to Septa Unella. “I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow, and all his little sparrows, all his septons, all his septas, all his filthy soldiers, because it felt good to watch them burn. It felt good to imagine their shock and pain. No thought has ever given me greater joy. Even confessing feels good under the right circumstances.”

Best Speech/Monologue
“My name is Arya Stark. I want you to know that. The last thing you’re ever going to see is a Stark smiling down at you as you die.’ – Arya
And to endorse Clob’s choices
– Arya when she first meets Lady Crane:
“The Queen loves her son, more than anything, and he was taken from her before she could say goodbye. She wouldn’t just cry, she would be angry. She would want to kill the person who did this to her.”
– Lady Olenna conversing with Cersei before leaving KL:
“I wonder if you’re the worst person I’ve ever met. At a certain age it’s hard to recall, but the truly vile do stand out through the years. Remember the way you smirked at me when my grandson and granddaughter were dragged off to their cells? I do. I’ll never forget it.”

All-around Best Quote:
“Promise me, Ned” – Lyanna ( yes for the GRRM fan service, but it really choked me up )
“Sixty-two.” – Lyanna Mormont ( the way she said with sush self belief it as if it was 62 000! And for reminding me of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’s “42” )
“A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I’m going home” – Arya
Mihnea,
Damn, there are some quotes I even forgot about.
And now, with all the fuss and ranting about them not including Maribalds speech, reading Brother Ray’s speech more carefully I realize just how good it was!
Ian McShanes delivery was outstanding! Real shame it got overlooked.
I have re-watched huge chunks of season 6, and there are some of those quotes that I have heard many times!
Have to say, the first time I watched The Broken Man I was a tad disappointed because the Septon Meribald speech wasn’t included. But when I re-watched the episode and didn’t spend it waiting for said speech, I enjoyed it a lot more. And that speech is, as you say, a good speech – and it sums up the sentiments of Septon Meribald.

Funniest Quote
*Episode 7, Jaime: “Only a fool makes threats he’s not prepared to carry out. Let’s say…I threatend to hit you, unless you shut your mouth, but you kept talking. What do you think I’d do?” (Walder Rivers: “I don’t give a rotten-” [Jaime backhands him in the face with his metal hand].)

Best Episode (no nominations needed)
IMHO Episodes 2 through 7 and then 10 were good; as WOTW already noted 8 was a bit rough around the edges. Dorne stuff brought down episode 1, and North battle had some issues in episode 9 (though Meereen great).
For “Funniest Scene” I would nominate “all of the Bloody Hand play in Braavos” but that’s like, an entire SEQUENCE, so I’m not sure how to go about that. Do as you see fit.

Best Episode – Episode 9
There has to be a clarification as to who is Leading actor/actress and supporting actor/actress from the moderators. In my eyes Carice, Gwendoline and Nathalie are all leading actresses as well as Jonathan Pryce and Isaak Hampstead Wright are leading actors. It would be a pity for Nathalie not to be recognized as a leading actress after 5 seasons. It would be unfair for Pryce to be regarded as supporting actor when he had a central and crucial role in S5 &6.
It will be good that those who vote to have two or three options for each category so that these will be more inclusive and give people more choices in the final vote.
As I see it until now the dialogues in the mummers play which was an excellent addition to this season have not got many recommendations. People vote for Peter Dinklage who had his worse season and not for Isaak who had his best season so far while better and maybe subtle performances are ignored in favour of fan favourites (there are many other supporting actors for example than Alfie Allen who had his weakest season). In addition it would have been a great help to have a handful of funny and dramatic quotes available because it is obviously difficult to remember the script of a whole season by heart and in order to avoid really nice quotes to be ignored for the sake of the most easy one liners like “Promise me Edd”, something that happened last year too…
Yeah it’s a tough call.
My criteria is to look at the main storylines and decide who is the lead in each one.
For example, in the female category Lena, Maisie, Sophie and Emilia clearly have a lead role in their stories.
For my part Nathalie, Gwendoline, Carice, Diana, Ellie are in support roles – but others will disagree strongly of course! Nathalie I think is a close call and could justifiably be either. anyway I think she has more chance of winning in the supporting category.
I do think Peter Dinklage had a rather moderate season ( not entirely his fault ) and I do regret a bit leaving Alfie out of the reckoning for lead or supporting. I also enjoyed the performance of the guy who plays Tormund and whose name escapes me utterly!

Since iam very late in this and many already listed what will be my choice as well ..jam just going to speak about one thing that seems to be getting so little love.
Seems like me and cenk from what the flick are the only two people who loved this quote ..
dothrakian raven,
Criteria for lead/supporting is really difficult, because it usually involves a weighing of several different factors. Davos was in more episodes than Bran this year, but does that mean Cunningham was more of a lead actor this year than Hempstead-Wright? I think most would say no, because Davos was in a storyline occupied by characters more central than him, whereas Bran was the main character in his storyline. But does that mean that John Bradley (Sam) is a lead actor, because he was the main character of his storyline? Since his storyline was one of the least consequential this year, and only took up three episodes, I’d say he’s more supporting. It’s hard to make hard-and-fast rules about lead and supporting because so many characters have a mix of all the factors going into what divides the members of each category. For example, Alfie Allen was technically in seven episodes this year (more than many other actors), and was the most major character in his Iron Islands scenes. But the Iron Islands storyline was a relatively minor one this year, and arguably Theon’s actual role in the storyline was more supporting rather than leading. I don’t know of any rules that would clearly put Allen in either lead or supporting categories, so I think it’s kind of up to to the WotW staffers (with input from us in these comments) to weigh all those factors.
I also think the fuzziness gives us the opportunity that HBO has when they submit their actors, which is to nominate strategically. HBO puts all their actors in supporting categories because they believe that’s their best chance at getting those actors nominated and possibly winning. We have the opportunity to do the same thing, which is put some of the actors we want to win in the categories where we think they are most competitive. I think you can make a good argument for Natalie Dormer being in Lead Actress, and moving Gwendoline Christie down from lead to supporting this year. But I put Christie in lead and Dormer in supporting, mostly because I want Dormer to win, and I don’t think she has a chance in winning Lead Actress (whereas I don’t think Christie has a shot in either category).
So in summary I’d say that making clear rules for who is in lead or supporting category is pretty much impossible, and that there are actually benefits of the fuzziness for us choosing who we want to nominate in which categories.
Hodor Targaryen,
You are right it’s hard to determine who is a lead actor but I have a more narrow view.Imo the only lead actors are Kit Peter and Nikolaj and the lead actresses are Lena Emilia Maisie and I guess Sophie too in the last seasons.All the other are supporting actors.Either they are supporting in a leads storyline or even when they have their own it’s not major enough to qualify.I think that seven lead actors is quite a lot for a show in any case

Television Critics Association Awards fwiw:
They’ve been nominated for each of these categories every season of the series, winning once for each along with Outstanding New Program in ’11. This is a small, private, non-televised awards ceremony and the only ones invited are those that have won. With social media one may be able to figure out who won if things pop up from the red carpet. I can see Mr. Robot winning New Program, and The Americans for Program of the Year and maybe that will open up Outstanding Drama for GoT, or vice versa. *shrug*
Jenny,
You might be right. Those seven are certainly the only obvious leads in my opinion. I prefer to have as many actors recognized as possible tho, so I prefer it if there are five slots per category, even if that means putting actors who are maybe overall supporting roles in the lead category. I don’t think Isaac Hempstead-Wright would win in either lead or supporting, but I appreciated his work and am fine with him being nominated in a category with extra slots, even if he isn’t as much of a lead as Kit, Peter or NCW. Seems harmless to me to give an extra slot in the leading categories to a prominent supporting character who almost certainly wouldn’t win in either category (Isaac, Allen, Christie, for example).
Hodor Targaryen,
It all depends on the season. We are now beyond season 6 and Nathalie is a leading actress for me. She had a lot of material this season and she had a clear and central role to the KL plot. It is the same with Davos. The character Davos might not be as central as the character Jon Snow or the character Tyrion but it is clear that in this season he had a crucial and central role to play. In the same category I would put Alfie Allen (although his performance didn’t impress me this season), Jonathan Pryce ( a clear leading role in the KL plot), Carice and Gwendoline in the leading female actress category. On the other hand it is more than clear that Natalie Emanuel is a supporting actress as well as Diana Rigg and Indira Varma. A clear example of what I mean is Pedro Pascal. In my opinion he should have been in the leading league for season 4.
Another problem is the quotes category where the nominations that prevail is either badass one liners or standard book phrases. In both cases we miss the opportunity to vote for what is actually the tv script as it is wonderfully written by D&D. A typical example is on the one hand Lady Crane’s wonderful and beautiful lines as Cersei which although they keep a sense of the real Cersei in the end they become an allusion of what the real Cersei should be as a person and is not and what kind of person Lady Crane really is and on the other hand the over evaluated and boring lines, almost too easy to remember that the character Tyrion had for this season. That is why we could have the possibility to choose the better quotes (funny and dramatic) from each episode.

dothrakian raven,
Nothing is stopping you from listing your favorite quotes or speeches. And then voting from them in the next round. The final five might not be your favorite five, and the ultimate winner in each of these categories may not be your first choice. But I would say the WotW staff has actually made it as easy as possible to nominate as many kinds of quotes as you want. So I don’t see how you “miss an opportunity” to vote for the lines you want.
All I will say to your lead vs supporting points is that some of the examples you bring up are far from clear. Many characters are pivotal, but that doesn’t make them leads. I think you’re the only one to suggest Pryce for lead, for example. Which just shows how debatable some of these designations can be and why there shouldn’t be strict criteria for which counts as lead or supporting.
Time is stopping me. Precious time which I prefer to spend otherwise. Unless I get paid for the time is required for this kind of job. In any case I have already sent my personal picks (3 in each category).

Clob,
PROGRAM OF THE YEAR
The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, FX
OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN DRAMA
The Americans, FX
also Mr Robot won Best New Program
pretty much all the winners I thought it was going to go to won, nothing was beating The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story for program of the year, with the critics voting and everything XD
We’ve already come to voting, well then hurrah, time is moving along a bit faster than I thought it would. I loved this last year, and reading everyone’s picks reminds me of what a terrific season this year was. Rewatching is a must.
Best Lead Actor: Kit, hands down. From his first gasped breath to the gasping survivor coming up from the muck of bodies, to the furious man beating on Ramsay, then that lovely, lovely smile when informed Winter had officially come, he was excellent.
Best Lead Actress: Sophie. She, too, showed great range across the season, from the frightened fugitive in the snow with Theon, escaping Ramsay, to the Lady putting Littlefinger down, to the righteous bitch who watched Ramsay die, then walked away with a tiny smile, she brought her “A” game this season.
Best Supporting actress: Emilia, then Lena then Natalie.
Best Supporting actor: Liam, Nicolai and Alfie, then Kritofer. all were amazing, hard to decide which.
Best guest Actress: Bella and Essie, brought both humor and drama in their own wonderful ways.
Best guest Actor: Ian McShane. I couldn’t wait to see him and he did not disappoint. I wish he could have been in more episodes, but he did an excellent job of being the world-weary former warrior who inspired the Hound to become part of the world again. If Ian hadn’t been so great at what he did, we might not have bought Rory’s return as readily.
But then, gotta nominate Rory, because, well, because he’s Rory. Can’t wait to see what he does next year.
Best dramatic scene: Jon coming up from the bodies; Jon and Sansa reuniting. Emilia in the hut with the Khals, listening to them insult her before she burns their assess. The green explosion and burning of the Sept then Cersei’s smug, satisfied smile.
Death: Ramsay. Hodor, Tommen
Best Quote: “Forget the bloody gods and listen to what I’m telling you! Cersei knows the consequences …” Margaery telling the HS what’s what. Too late.
King in the North by Bella

Funniest Quote (clever/funny one-liners. Not the same thing as funniest scene.): “I’ve seen your pecker. What god would have a pecker that small?” -Tormund Giantsbane
All-around Best Quote: “Now go back out there and fail some more.” -Davos Seaworth
Best Episode: Winds of Winter
Here’s a couple of ‘all-around best quotes’ that weren’t mentioned yet I think:
“A wise man once said The true history of the World is the history of great conversations, in elegant rooms” (Tyrion trying to start a conversation with Misandei and Grey Worm in e03 – taking credit for the quote just after)
“A wise man once said We make peace with our enemies, not our friends” Quoted by Tyrion to Missandei before negotiations with slavers, then repeated by Missandei to some leaders of freed Meereenese (e04)
“My dear, you have been stripped of your dignity and authority, publicly shamed, and confined to the Red Keep – What’s left to work with?” (QoT to Cersei, who had just said You once said you respected our father because he understood the necessity of working with one’s rivals; e04)
“Thousands of men don’t need to die. Only one of us.” (Jon Snow going good-old Stark on Ramsey, knowing full well this approach won’t work)
(I’m sure there’s plenty more worthy material out there, but it requires a carefull re-watch)
Addendum for best quote (too short for scene, right?):
“Where will you go?” – “Where will we go?”. (Sansa and Jon, e04)

Best Death Scene: The sept going kaboom ep 10, or Walder Frey’s awful death
Best Visual Effects Sequence/Scene: The final scene in season 6 ep 10 starting with the Greyjoy pennant flickering and hiding the sun and a gazing Theon. Then the wind turns, the sun appears, the pennant flies straight and we see Dany’s huge armada, the Greyjoys, the Martells, the Tyrells, the slavers’ ships and the dragons. And Winds of Winter theme. Oh, that scene was so epic! (Any scene with dragons are spectacularly made, I think (except when Dany is riding Drogon – then it looks a bit fake.)
Funniest Scene: Tormund’s smile at Brienne, Samwell at the citadel, or Lyanna serious reply “62” when answering how many fighting men she’s offering.
Best Dramatic Scene: I’m not sure I understand the difference between dramatic and action scene. If it’s a scene that moved me most, then I would pick Theon hugging Sansa and offering to lure the men away, or Tyrion being named Hand by Daenerys, or Yara and Theon in the brothel “are you with me? are you really with me?” Or the entire scene with Jon, Sansa, Davos, and Lyanna Mormont in The Broken Man.
Best Big Action Sequence: The entire Battle of the Bastards battle scene at, Winterfell. Or Wun-Wun entering Castle Black
Best Fight: Hmm, Wun Wun smashing the huge gate, and entering Castle Black, I think. Thought it looked pretty awesome. And Tormund vs Umber (yuck)
Best Speech/Monologue: Theon Greyjoy’s speech to the ironmen or Yara Greyjoy’s words to Theon in the brothel or Lyanna Mormont’s speech at Winterfell.
Funniest Quote: Hmm.. “I drink and I know things” “You’re shit at dying, you know that?” The Hound. ” “How many fighting men can we expect?” “62”.
All-around Best Quote: “My watch has Ended.” “Long may she reign!” “I choose violence”

Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need you refused the call.

We know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark. I don’t care if he’s a bastard; Ned Stark’s blood runs through his veins. He’s my king from this day until his last day. – Lyanna Mormont
Confess. Confess. Confess. Confess. It felt good. Beating me, starving me, frightening me, humiliating me. You didn’t do it because you cared about my atonement; you did it because it felt good. I understand. I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow, and all his little sparrows, all his septons, all his septas, all his filthy soldiers because it felt good to watch them burn. It felt good to imagine their shock and their pain. No thought has ever given me greater joy. Even confessing feels good under the right circumstances. – Cersei Lannister

So many wonderful scenes – I stand by my original vote but forgot to add one of my favorite funny little bits: Lady Mormont’s sour face at Ramsay the day before the battle. That little girl said worlds with just that disapproving glare.
I earlier mentioned “Jon and Sansa reunion” as nominee for best dramatic scene, although it is pretty short. Recently rewatched that episode and found that the great dialogue between them (“Where will we go” “I’m tired of fighting”) happens right after the reunion. So if it is possible I would amend my earlier nomination of the Jon/Sansa reunion to include the conversation they have immediately afterwards, to make that moment a longer and meatier nominee for best dramatic scene.
Really curious which episode will win, 9 or 10. I am torn between the two. They are both so good for different reasons. For the first time I really don’t know.

Best Speech/Monologue:
I’m friends with your mother. I’m here to help. Don’t eat the help! When I was a child, an uncle asked what gift I wanted for my nameday. I begged him for one of you; it wouldn’t even have to be a big dragon, I told him, it could be little like me. Everyone laughed like it was the funniest thing they’d ever heard, and my father told me the last dragon had died a century ago. I cried myself to sleep that night, but here you are. – Tyrion Lannister (Home)
I wonder if you’re the worst person I’ve ever met. At a certain age, it’s hard to recall. But the truly vile do stand out through the years. Do you remember the way you smirked at me when my grandson and granddaughter were dragged off to their cells? I do. I’ll never forget it… I’m leaving this wretched city as fast as I can before that shoeless zealot throws me into one of his cells. If you’re half as bright as you think you are, you’ll find your way out of here, too. What’ll you do, then? You have no support. Not anymore. Your brother’s gone. The High Sparrow saw to that. The rest of your family have abandoned you. The people despise you. You’re surrounded by enemies, thousands of them. You’re going to kill them all by yourself? You’ve lost, Cersei. It’s the only joy I can find in all this misery.
Lady Olenna Tyrell (The Broken Man)
I am Theon Greyjoy, last living son of Balon Greyjoy, and she is your rightful ruler. Those of you that have sailed under her – and there are many of you here – you know what she is. She is a reaver.

So I wrote my list out early on, and started reading all the posts. As I read I’d add to mine, thinking oh yeah I forgot he did that, or oh I loved that scene! Soon my list filled the page and I realized that choosing the best is going to be impossible. There was just so much talent in acting, writing, directing, CGI, that I think we should throw in the towel and give everyone prizes! That would unfortunantly mean not having all the great discussions we have on this topic, so I am just kidding, but really its going to be hard to choose any category….
Took some time to analyse these before confirming them.

But if you’re staying Theon, I need you. We’re gonna sail to Meereen, we’re gonna make a pact with this Dragon Queen and take back the Iron Islands. Are you with me?”

Amazing.
Most dramatic scene, hodor’s young & old death, jon coming back to life, arya’s killing the waif-becoming a stark again-going home, dany going off on khals then burning them, burning of the sept, tyrion recieving hand of the queen, ian mcshane’s speech, brienne & jaime scenes, the on helping sense scenes, last scene of danys ships & dragons
Also, finding out: toj, cotf created white walkers, tarly family dinner, benjen’s alive, hound is alive, melesandre’s old
To the ADMINS : i went and took a look at last year’s winners as per your link. But the video is listed as private so I can’t view it.
Yes, that’s exactly how I feel – so much exceptional stuff this year. To me, all the hype pre-season from the actors was completely justified this season. It was smashing, in every sense of the word (does it make me a bad person if the scene of Jon smashing Ramsay’s face flitted across my mind for the briefest second? oh well)
Since there was so much that was wonderful, I used the criteria of: did the scene move me out of my comfort zone, all snuggled down and eagerly watching, to the point where I laughed out loud, cheered at the tv, swore at the tv, or was in any other way vocal about the event? It’s been fun to relive the whole season with all of you so far. Hope we can keep up the momentum during the remaining months.
Yeah, but I gave him a pass – I don’t think he meant disrespect to the show, it’s just such a McShane/Al Swearengen attitude, and being able to carry off that attitude is what makes him who he is, and able to convey that type of character so perfectly. That’s the same attitude the redeemed soldier/priest he played in Broken Man had, irreverent but thoughtful and well-meaning. imho anyway.
Forgive the OT question, but does anyone know if the Deadwood movie has been confirmed, or is it still in the wind?

Best Scene:
Brienne: Lady Sansa, I offer my services once again. I will shield your back and keep your counsel and give my life for yours if need be. I swear it by the old gods and the new.
Sansa: And I vow that you shall always have a place by my hearth and…
Pod: Meat and mead at my table.
Sansa: …meat and mead at my table. And I pledge to ask no service of you that might bring you dishonor. I swear it by the old gods and the new. Arise.
Ramsay: You’ve seen my banners?
Osha: The flayed man.
Ramsay: Does that worry you at all?
Osha: You eat them after?
Ramsay: ( chuckles ) No.
Osha: ( scoffs ) Then I’ve seen worse.
The Hound: If the gods are real, why haven’t they punished me?
Septon Ray: They have.
Lady Crane: My son. My firstborn son. My child king, hush.
Listen to the gods, for you they sing.
Fight no more, sweet child. Your wars are won.
The wolves are buried and the false stag done.
Shut your blue eyes, my love. Let the crown fall.
The Father above beckons you to his hall.
In Seventh Heaven I’ll see you once more.
But now I seek vengeance on Sansa the whore,
and my brother the Imp who killed his own king.
Born amongst lions, our curse from within.
I will slay him, I swear, with noose or with knife,
though it take me a fortnight, a moon, or my life.
Lady Olenna: What will you do, then? You have no support. Not anymore. Your brother’s gone. The High Sparrow saw to that. The rest of your family have abandoned you. The people despise you. You’re surrounded by enemies, thousands of them. You’re going to kill them all by yourself? You’ve lost, Cersei. It’s the only joy I can find in all this misery.
Qyburn: Your Grace that old rumor you told me about? My little birds investigated.
Cersei: And? Was it just a rumor or something more?
Qyburn: More. Much more.
Lyanna Mormont: Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton. Still, you refused the call. But House Mormont remembers. The North remembers. We know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark. I don’t care if he’s a bastard. Ned Stark’s blood runs through his veins. He’s my king from this day until his last day.
Best All-Around Quote:
Beric Dondarrion: Good and bad, young and old, the things we’re fighting will destroy them all alike. You can still help a lot more than you’ve harmed, Clegane. It’s not too late for you.
Jorah: I’ve been all over the world. There’s no escaping men like us.
Sansa: You’re going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton. Sleep well.
Wun Wun: Snow.

Best Supporting Actor:
Owen Teale
Brenneck O’Connor
Jacob Anderson
I don’t want these to replace my earlier nominations. Just think they all deserve to be in the next round at least and I don’t remember seeing them in earlier posts. I think they all gave good performances (even O’Connor’s silent one). Owen Teale especially shined in the little time he was given.
BTW, is the hanging of the mutineers considered one “death,” because they all died in the same scene, or are each of the mutineers who were hanged eligible to be nominated for death, separate from the others? I have seen the mutineer’s hanging nominated but none for individual deaths at the gallows, so just in case the staff chooses to consider the deaths separate (as I believe the Red Wedding deaths were back in S3 at the other site) I will nominate:

Wow, “you’re going to kill them all by yourself?” didn’t THAT turn out to be prophetic? I said at the time the episode aired, that this spewing of venom from Lady Olenna would put Cersei over the edge. She had been trying so hard to cooperate, as least as much as Cersei could cooperate. They rebuffed her every time, in front of Jaime no less, in that scene where they all left the room. Plus, being reminded that all the people hate her, that they are her enemies, would be the last crack in her psyche, and there would be no reason whatsoever, in her mind, not to burn everybody, especially Margaery, Mace and the High Sparrow.
This turned out to be some very subtle, effective foreshadowing of what was coming, yet, I was still surprised by it, and by Cersei actually taking the crown. Because of all the things that WERE foreshadowed, her having an actual desire to wear the crown was never mentioned, as far as I can remember. Great piece of dialog, expertly delivered, expertly built upon. Great season.
Agree about the performances! Especially about Teale/Alliser Thorne. Last off-season there was a lot of speculation and many posts about what part old Alliser would play in Season 6, what his motivations were and how he would exert his influence over the Northern houses. Many people expected him to be a big player in the upcoming season. So much for all that: one of the best aspects of Season 6 was how fast and thoroughly the writers knocked down a lot of theories, about Thorne and other things (farewell forever, LSH)

Jjddss,
Jon facing the charging cavalry is not CGI

He seems very proud of it :). Hè should be
He also mentioned it worried him that a lot of people might think that was CGI, but those are real horses charging at him

Thanks for noting so many of the actors who I didn’t think about or put in my list. What makes this program is that even though someone may be in one or two scenes for the entire season, the overriding professional philosophy is to be memorable. This cast and clearly the casting crew ROCK!!
LadyStark,
Thanks. I thought I read or heard somewhere that they touched it up to add more soldiers charging so it looked like way more than what was actually charging at him. So like 1000 instead of 10. But I also thought yesterday was Thursday so I could be very very wrong. Haha.
A day too late. I hope these still count:
