Good for him. I haven't seen most of the other shows the nominees were in, but I have a hard time imagining any of them gave a better performance than he did. And I say that with Andre Braugher being one of my favorite actors.

Production diary;

Posted Image

An October chill has arrived in Belfast and Game of Thrones is already deep into filming Season 2. It seems only fitting that as the second book begins in the thick of things, so should the production diary.

I’m Cat Taylor, assistant to the show’s executive producers and writers extraordinaire: David Benioff & D.B Weiss. I’ll be taking over here for Bryan Cogman, who is busy on so many exciting GOT projects that he had to stop writing the blog for fear of accidentally letting surprises slip. (Though he promises to check back in from time to time).

Of Centurion fame? ;)

It's always a bit of a risk since the role of television director is often very different from directing film. You don't want to distinct a stamp on one episode out of proportion to the series as a whole.

I'm reading the second book in anticipation of the new series. That little production clip was cool to see, and got me motivated to finish the book asap. Can't wait till next April.

A friend of mine got me up as far as book 4 for my birthday, and I lasted 5 months - read it a couple of weeks ago.

At least she agreed to have her hair cut and doesn't have to wear that fright wig from the end of season 1 . . . that would be very distracting . . .

Given the circumstances under which she got that haircut, I thought it worked fine. :)

You'd think someone would have thought of getting the DVD/Blu-Ray sets out before Xmas, but it seems not.

HBO want people to watch the show through their subscriber-only streaming service, HBO Go. They still haven't released Boardwalk Empire S1 on DVD (it'll be out sometime after S2 finishes). Hopefully they don't do the same with GoT.

That's all well and good for people who already subscribe to HBO, but I'd think a lot of those people have already watched season 1. It's kind of short sighted on HBO's part. Release the season 1 DVD to try to hook non-HBO customers. But whatever. I've got HBO so it's no big deal to me.
