I was prepared for Game of Thrones’ eventual and first-ever drama series win, but Dinklage’s win confirmed what I was probably in subconscious denial about: Game of Thrones will now win all the Emmys until Game of Thrones is over.
This is also not to say that Game of Thrones didn’t and won’t deserve all its past and future awards.
When Davis opened the envelope and her mouth, she started formulating a consonant that sounds nothing like a “J”: “Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones.”
Which is great for the show and HBO, but ironic for what is universally accepted as Thrones’ weakest season.
