Westeros Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Gold Derby has a mass of pictures and details concerning HBO’s “for your consideration” package that they’ve sent out to the 15,000-strong Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to help provide material for them to decide their Emmy nominations. Of particular note to fans will be the Game of Thrones actors and actresses that HBO has submitted for consideration with the academy:Best Actor/Actress: None. Which is interesting, to say the least. Is it because the ensemble cast suggests there’s no single lead actor? That’s fair enough, but it does seem strange to not have Dinklage here when he’s now heading the credits…Best Supporting Actor: Peter Dinklage, of course, joined by Alfie Allen, Kit Harington, and Richard Madden. As Gold Derby notes, eligible performers can submit on their own, so nothing is stopping Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Stephen Dillane, Liam Cunningham, or others for submitting themselves.Best Supporting Actress: Maisie Williams, Michelle Fairley, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, and Sophie Turner.Best Drama: Game of Thrones joins Boardwalk Empire, Luck, and True Blood.Visit the Site!

iheartseverus Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Ran, it does make sense that the ensemble cast is the reason for the lack of a Best Actor/Actress. Is that your thinking? Or do you think its something else?Edit: because I was typing in italics, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticWeirwood Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Why only the first two episodes? Will the entire ten-episode second season be considered, or only the performances we see in the first two episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I believe all ten episodes will be considered. I'm not quite sure why those two in particular were chosen, but it may just be a timing thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umberto Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I believe all ten episodes will be considered. I'm not quite sure why those two in particular were chosen, but it may just be a timing thing.The two first episodes are probably the weakest of the season...they better not base it on just those.Peter and Alfie have a good chance at winning.

Golden Lady Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 @umberto I agree with you. Mmmm about Peter and Alfie, I think i'm going with Peter. He is one of my favs. Anyway, Alfie is doing excellent in this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Lady Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 @Baitac , I was expecting jack gleeson too. I must say I hate his role,hahah, but he really deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jory Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Kit Harrington for best supporting actor? Give me a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoistMusketeer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think Liam Cunningham has been killing it as Davos. Great performance and makes me like Davos more. In episode two hes got that great interaction with the pirate which helps.Dont know why theyd submit Kit, the first two episodes don't really give Jon anything to work in terms of award winning performance, later in the season this will prob change though.

Iain Glen, Liam Cunningham, Stephen Dillane - but Liam especially has been so fucking good this season. He really captures the warmth and sincerity of Davos' character.

Arkash Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Jack Gleeson and Conleth Hill should be add up there too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roose Seal Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Alfie Allen should submit episode 3. He was phenomenal in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I know I'm really biased but it's hard for me to think of a cast member who doesn't deserve a nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitac Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm stunned that they didn't nominate Jack Gleason. Maybe they're waiting for other things to happen before submitting his name. He is the number one villain this season. He has been spectacular in his odiousness (if that's a word!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 No Jack Gleason? Sophie Turner? Not happy about this.Jack Gleeson, if you hear me, submit yourself! :angry: Right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Knight Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The last Emmy's people complained that Peter got Best Supporting; stating that his character is a main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyRobes Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Why only the first two episodes? Will the entire ten-episode second season be considered, or only the performances we see in the first two episodes?Pretty sure its the whole season, they probably just have to submit a list or something. Pretty sure Peter won mainly due to his brilliant trial at the Eyrie, episode 6 I think.Jack Gleeson and Conleth Hill should be add up there too !Couldn't agree more! Brilliant in both their respective roles. I don't wanna knock any hard working actors but Kit really? I mean we are 40% into season 2 and we've spent a lot more time with Joffery and Varys and I think they deserve more than being the guys who appear between the NINE suggested nominees.Of course not all these actors are going to be chosen as nominees but if its a numbers game why not nominate all our screen dominating favorites?They might be limited to the number of people they can nominate but it thats the case I wonder why they chose 5 of the ladies and only 4 men? No Jack Gleason? Sophie Turner? Not happy about this. Thankfully Sophie is nominated.... no love for Jack though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
