Lord of Beyond the Wall Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 And still Dinklage can win because theacademy voters only have to judge one episode and Second Sons is his episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickStormborn Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Did anyone catch that, what with the whole Messiah-crowd-surfing scene?? That was cheesy and stupid (and racist), but not exactly whitewashing.The problem with Dany in the show is the same problem with most characters - she's inconsistent and lacks nuance. In one scene she is harsh and unyielding, and in the next scene she's soft and inexperienced. This isn't a problem in the books where GRRM blends them together and, interestingly, it's not a problem in his episode - her scene/s in "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" show both aspects of her personality.Another problem is that they erased her victory over the Yunkish and gave it to Daario Naharis. But that's not exactly "whitewashing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not exactly "whitewashing".Agreed, probably something like hiding her flaws/oversimplifying her. Come on, non-readers want her to win, because she seems like the ideal hero, the perfect one. I think that when she may seem harsh to you, non-readers (many of them, let's not generalize) see that as strength.But lets not turn this into a Dany discussing thread. I'm happy for the show, and I'm -reasonably- happy for Emilia.(though the bitterness over NCW not getting nominated will stay for a couple of days :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm disappointed NCW did not get an Emmy nod, but I hope Madame Dianna Rigg will win (she's great as Queen of Thorns, imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl18 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have nothing against Emilia Clarke and I actually think that she does a very good job, but the nomination really should have gone to Michelle Fairley: her performamce in "The Rains of Castamere" was really amazing! No surprise for Peter Dinklage and, well... he deserves it. I'm very happy for Dianna Rigg, who is great as the Queen of Thornes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vuron Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'll stay out of the Emilia or Michelle arguments, but why doesn't anyone ever mention Maisie? She was in some of the more emotional scenes of the season (Hot Pie goodbye, Gendry goodbye, accusing the Hound of murder during his trial, running away, seeing Grey Wind killed, etc). On top of being in the more emotional scenes, her acting is just stunning for someone of her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya's my favorite on the show. But she was never up for nomination, so I had my "blow up" earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a free shadow Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 disappointed NCW wasn't one of them.I am not, especially as it leaves open the opportunity of a suddenly locked doors/Rains of Castamere/Jaime Lannister sends his regards at the ceremony...

Broken Fox Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Peter Dinklage is always great, but it's clear he only got the nom because he's a known name. Coster-Waldau deserved that nomination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kephv Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 So disappointed that Michelle didn't get nominated. Such a shame considering it was probably her last chance - for Thrones anyway. Emilia was excellent, however, no denying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengeance Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Dracarys was excellent but apart from that her performance throughout the rest of the season was entirely unremarkable. Fairley was consistently better, her monologue with Talisa and the entire Red Wedding sequence was magnificent, she absolutely deserved the nod over Emilia.Perhaps I'm being too cynical but I suspect Peter Dinklage will get the nomination every year simply because he's a dwarf (and the male lead) on an immensely popular TV show. He's talented for sure, but he was outclassed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kephv Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Fairley was consistently better, her monologue with Talisa and the entire Red Wedding sequence was magnificentShe was the best on the show. I assume it was simply her lack of material, making it easier to overlook for the majority of the season. Still, one would think that her Red Wedding and talk with Talisa (terrible, but an excellent performance on her part) were ample evidence that she deserved a nod. I suppose it's more who's popular at the moment rather than strictly being about the performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the Road Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Really pleased for Emilia Clarke, her performances have been getting better and better. Dinklage probably deserved it as well, particularly for "Second Sons", NCW perhaps didn't feature enough for his nomination, though I'm disappointed that Charles Dance missed out. Well deserved nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillent Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 the whitewashing was done mostly in KL.. Dany was fine, maybe not the best actress -- but her performance this season has def been better than S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
