Dinklage with Dance being a close second.

After he started working for Dany, Tyrion kind of sucked because he was supposed to be a brilliant political advisor, and more of than not (imo) his advice to her was bad.

Aidan Gillen always sticks out to me in anything he's in. GoT was no different. He's my pick.

This. By the time both characters were hindered by the writing, nobody else really stood up that I can remember, so they take it for me.

Re: Best Acting Performance in Game of Thrones

Can't help but notice the glaring omission for 'Eddie', the minstrel soldier ...




Best performances .... Dinklage, Heady, Dance, Cunningham.

Favorite performance ... Jerome Flynn (Ser Bronn)
Honorable mention to Natalia Tena (Osha) and Rory McCann (The Hound)

Pretty much everyone was good, but I gave it to Joffrey just because he was so hateable to where I couldn't wait for him to die.
Never understood why everyone puts Dinklage on a pedestal.

So you're either making a short joke or you have no understanding of acting.
