Emilia Clarke is the best!!! I was rooting for her to win the Emmy. Even though she didn't won this award she has one of the most memorable characters on tv.
She was a horrible actress in all seasons but the last one. By then, she’d finally learned. She sure didn’t get hired because of her good acting skills. Dan & David fell in love with her looks and smile and had to persuade the HBO-people. They’ve even admitted that in interviews!
Anna A Emilia was *not* horrible, she played Daenerys much in the way the book describes her. She played Daenerys as stoic, refrained, and dignified (which is obviously not Emilia’s personal character), and had to register a lot of emotions through her eyes and face. Haters who think you have to overact to be “acting” just whine she was cast for her looks. Emilia became the Mother of Dragons, and your opinion does nothing to diminish this for millions of other people.
She and her character will be remembered for a long time, when the winners will be long forgotten. The same happened to shows like Buffy whose actors were always snubbed at award shows because of the bias against fantasy.
Wow Kit had a really hard time answering that last question, and it wasn't even his question to answer. D&D should've stepped up and answered it but who knows what kind of bogus reason they would've given.
The problem is that everybody treats the controversy issue as if it's not even an issue, as if it is somewhat rude of the journalist to pose such a question. I mean, of course they loved their job and why wouldn't they, it's the offspring of their effort and passion, of course they would support the choices of Benioff and Weiss, they 're their friends and colleagues. But yet again, the audience was disappointed. And that's a fact. And that didn't happen because their feelings for the show made them want a specific ending, it happened because the story was rushed and at some places odd when it really didn't have to be. All these years the cast and crew supported the positive reaction of the audience and cherished their adoration but when that reaction wasn't that positive anymore they decided to make excuses for no apparent reason. Game of thrones was an amazing show. Season 8 was amazing, compared to mainstream tv. But compared to the show itself, it was a letdown. And while the cast achieved their ultimate acting potential, while the crew managed to pull off the hardest and most demanding of circumstances, the story itself betrayed all of them.
@Andreas Giannaras I couldn’t agree more! And I lost interest in rewatching GOT, just because of how the actors and D&D handled the critic afterwords. I kind of lost respect for them. If only they had been humble and showed that at least they _listened_ to what their devoted fans told them. If only they had expressed some sort of regret, or at least explained how they were thinking and why they made the choices they made. That would have gotten me back on their side again, I think. That would have shown they respect their fans. But they didn’t. They disqualified the show’s fans’ opinions and emotions by ignoring them completely. Makes me feel ”betrayed”. A let down.
@@magicforest71 Emilia Clarke Did! She was one of the few cast Members that addressed the criticism with maturity. She understood both sides of the argument and gave a very classy response. And in doing so, she gained more respect since she didn't go out of her way to piss fans off. (I'm looking at Kit and Sophie on this one) Others, blindly defended it. Blamed the fans and went out of their ways to praise the Season and shit on the fans response.
even if season 7 & 8 couldn’t get to the standard of the other seasons nothing will ever beat those actors those characters and the game of thrones world.
I swear! Those actors put 10 years of their lives into that story and they dont deserve everyones criticism, and they didnt put in all that work just for people to slander it at the end. It's still better than any other show
I was so upset Emilia didn't win. Omg! Kit Harington is absolutely beautiful. I'm thrilled for Peter Dinklage, great actor. Lena Headey is the Susan Lucci of the Emmys. They disrespect Lena ever year. She should have at least 6 Emmys by now. Congratulations to everyone in front of and behind the camera.
Such huge egos? Because they don't subject themselves to the infant like complaining from "fans" lol shows over wtf they supposed to say now.. y'all hated... Ok... do they deserve to be stoned to death.. what do people expect at this point.
@@travismartin4863 Amen Travis. Nothing about this interview says "huge egos". The questions were "oh Game of Thrones is so huge, how does that feel?" DnD responded appropriately: "I hope people watch and like it." That obviously wasn't the case at the moment. So what?
Alfie Allen and Emilia Clarke got robbed of their emmy awards they should have won it,they deserved it and why on earth did game of thrones won the award for best drama series it was the worst finale episode in the history of television.
"didnt really affect us" ...ya ok didnt kit go into rehab or something due to too much stress from the reaction after the finale?! way to dodge the damn question.
@@sofiamd1 the stress probably came from spending over a decade of his young life on the dopest set in the world, and then having it come to an end... it had to have been hard for all the actors.. it would be like giving up a part of yourself... lol people think he checked into a rehab because the fans didn't like the last season LMAO... holy shit people are self absorbed #yikes
Tiana yeah they did her “so dirty”. If D&D didn’t cast her she would never had a career but suuuuuuure she must really hate them. Great theory Sherlock
You're projecting lol just cause you hate the ending does not mean she does. And idk how people missed this... season 2 foreshadowed her in the thrown room, after her Dragon had destroyed it.... season fucking 2.. That was the ending from the beginning.... people need to pay attention
Dan and Dave missed a big opportunity to put a lot of the controversies to bed in that last question. Instead they looked like they were hiding behind their cast. Like... really?
They do not owe any of you any explanation. Dwl. They did an awesome job...all the spoiled brats crying because it didnt end the way they wanted...o well. Moving right along
@@jasminedavis7236 Youre a complete troll. The last season was objectively bad from every principle of basic storytelling. Its not a matter of not liking the end results, its about it all making sense in the context of the larger story. Spoiler alert: it didn't
@@jasminedavis7236 the show hasn't felt the same for me since season 5. The fact that so many people agree on this isn't a coincidence, something went wrong.
I feel like Kit couldn’t watch it because it brought up some issues about letting go of the life he created around the show. Like made him sad or something. I dunno I could be wrong 🤷🏼♂️ I’m still sad it’s over anyway.
Done with people's bullshit... lol if you're good at your job, but people ridiculed your hard work because your boss is an idiot... you would be over it too.
Cercei ,Sr Davos ,Jon,Theon, Arya , and Tyron,The best characters(actors) ,but Lena Headey played her role better than anyone could've ! Your grace ! Queen👑 Love you all !
Controversy ”didn’t really affect them”?! And yet they all went under a rock hiding for half a year, after the show ended... Half of the main character actors didn’t even show up at the comic con. Nah, Kit Harrington, I don’t believe you weren’t affected.
@@sofiamd1 He's not lying - he checked into a wellness centre around episode 3 - the backlash didnt kick off until episode 4 when Missandei died and everyone found out the spoilers about Dany were true. Also he checked in for stress, exhaustion and alcohol. It's great he looks so healthy at the Emmys - actually proud of him.
@@NatE-ms6ri I think he was having a hard time letting go of the show, and maybe having a bit of an identity crisis to boot, wondering what will come next...
Nah, last two episodes of the series ruined the whole show. It’s like going to Disneyland and someone dying. Vacation ruined. Or having a thanksgiving dinner with your friends and family but someone chokes on a bone and dies. Every thanksgiving from then on will be ruined, just like the future GOT prequels will be ruined.
Peter Dinklage won for doing nothing, he just stood still and stared at stuff for the whole season. The show won best series and Emilia Clarke, who solely carried the terrible last season on her shoulders and did wonders with the shit material she was given, didn't win. It honestly pisses me off to see the two hack show runners getting awarded and Emilia empty-handed when she saved the shit they wrote. Award shows are just popularity contests, they have nothing to do with talent, skill or quality.
You super salty it didnt end how you would have liked. The last season was good, and people who say otherwise lost touch with the actual story... She was kinda crazy from the beginning
@@travismartin4863 Just, fuck off. Please just fuck off. If you actually thought that this season was good, I truly think you're being paid to type this. Did you hit your head hard against something? Cause don't even TRY to say that this season was on par to the last 7 seasons. In this season, we have seen characters act out of ways so inconsistent with how they have previously, it's baffling. We saw the Character assassinations of Daenerys Targaryen, Jamie Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Varys, Cersei Lannister and Jon Snow In one swift blow. With the latter two being SIDELINED in their own stories. We have seen the plot get beat and defiled so beyond recognition. The show lost its own plot when they decided to destroy the same being that was supposed be the doom of humanity and destroy everything after thousands of years of trying to get by the wall with a formidable force. And apparently the 'Big Bad' of this show was more important than this magical being that planned to destroy EVERYTHING! And even that route went to SHIT since the big bad ended up dying in her lovers arms under rubble. After 7 seasons of being the biggest BITCH in Westeros, she gets killed with BRICKS! Plot Armor was jacked to bullshiittery even though we literally saw about 15 instances in which characters would've been killed in the first 6 Seasons. We got bullshit comments such as "Dany kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet" even though she was in the air and she would've saw them from a mile away. And no don't even start with the whole foreshadowing thing with Dany because that is BULLSHIT! Stop defending these hacks, they defiled this story so hard that it should be criminal. We didn't lose touch with the story, the SHOW did. It lost touch of its own rules, plots and Character's. This anger doesn't stem from just no where.
@@tashaglam4824 you're super entitled.. lol it's a show, not your personal biography. You lost touch with the story lol they literally foreshadowed everyone's demise from the first episode. They stayed true to the arcs... Jamie literally said he "wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves" also like Ramsey hinted "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention" also get a grip, it's a story lol 😆
@@travismartin4863 Oh dear... This wasn't a Biography, it was facts. If you actually believe that this was how it was all meant to be, I think you've been taken hostage and are being forced to write this. But since you're giving me no choice, I have to do it... FORESHADOWING IS *NOT* STORYTELLING OR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. It's a simple fact. You can foreshadow a number of things, but it doesn't equal Character Development in the terms of ANY of the Characters in this show. Who should I start off with, Dany or Jamie? I'll just start with Jamie, cause it's easier. Jamie Lannister, son of Tywin Lannister, and commonly referred to as the Kingslayer because he betrayed his oath to save the Kingdom was fucked over entirely. He starts off as this arrogant sister-fucker that we're all supposed to hate because of his audacity to openly defy 'good' people like Ned Stark and kill children. He was an Antagonist to us. Perhaps the first one in this show other than Viserys in our eyes. And over the Last few seasons, he begins to grow past his entire "Lannister only matter" motto that his Father implanted in his head. It's when he meets people like Brianne that we understand that Jamie truly has a good heart. That he has a sense of Honor and will risk his life and reputation for innocence as evidenced in the hot tub scene in S3 where he Reveals what was really going through his head when he killed the King. It wasn't out of selfishness, or for his family, it was because he couldn't allow more innocence to die at the hands of the King. And after spending years as being Cersei's little puppet, he grows away from her, because each adventure he takes, he meets people and understands them. And does his best to prove them wrong about him being dishonorable. His ENTIRE plot has been about building away from Cersei and take on a new life where he is in control. So all of his Development was FUCKED when he backtracked on all of his ideals to return to a monster like Cersei, after knowing all the monstrous acts she has committed, just because he had to. And to die the world's most flaccid death with his bitch of a sister. Just because he said ONE line in the past doesn't uphold to this. People CHANGE, and when he said this line, he was still under Cersei's grasp, and was still her puppet. He never would've said this line in Season 7 AT ALL after realizing everything she has done. So when he returned to Cersei, it ruined all the character development he once had. He only turned back to his family in the end. And it destroyed the journey he endured in the last 7 Seasons, proving to be the BIGGEST dissappoinment of this season.
@@travismartin4863 And here we go, it's time to deal with Daenerys. First of all, if you truly believe that this is the Real Dany, then YOU have missed the point of the show. Dany started off as a piece of meat that was sold to a vicious War Lord in exchange for an Army by her brother. And before that she was practically living on the streets with her abusive brother after their family was murdered and they were kicked out of their home. She got RAPED, and had to resort to seducing her husband with sex to make living bearable because she was on the verge. She eventually found a way to love him, and conceived a son. This was the first time in her life where she was truly happy. She had a family, she had love. But she was too trusting, and in a matter of a few days she lost EVERYTHING. And she resorted to using blood magic as a way to hatch her Dragon eggs, and she successfully did, and arose with the world's first dragons in centuries. When Dany took the Unsullied and Sacked Astapor to save the slaves, she had the army she needed to invade Westeros. When she was offered riches to buy ships to sail, she REFUSED. Let me remind you, she was offered EVERYTHING she needed to take back the throne, and she DELAYED it all. Why? So she could set all the slaves in chains free. Saving innocence slaves was a goal that proceeded her own intentions to take the throne, and she did so thoughtfully. Dany is a girl in a Medieval world where the intelligence of Women is underestimated and they are treated like shit. Dany's entire storyline evolved around Asserting her own power, but saving innocent people since no one else cares to look out for the small folk in the slightest. She has a dark side to her and she can be ruthlessness, but up until Season 8 Episode 5, she NEVER killed an innocent person. Every person she killed has always been a direct threat to her or her people. The show definitely set up a ruthless side to Dany, but that doesn't make her mad by any means. The word 'mad' had been used in this show to define people as horrible killers at this point. But if Dany is called Mad because she killed people in the past, this word needs to be applied to EVERYONE in this show. Arya killed and baked two sons into a pie, fed them to their father and cut his throat, and almost immediately murdered an entire house as revenge for her family. How is this not mad? Dany has enacted vengeance to Mirri and the Slave Masters for betraying her and gets called mad for taking revenge, yet Arya isn't? They say that she was mad because she emotionlessly watched her brother die. Ummmm, so did y'all forget how much of an Abusive shit he was to Dany? He beat her and defiled her multiple times, and then he threatens to kill her baby. It's natural, but apparently acting all cold to the death of you're abuser is a BAAAADDD thing. So let's talk about Sansa who walked away SMILING as she listened to Ramsey getting teared to death by his dogs. Why was this not an indicator that Sansa is mad because she enjoys listening to her enemies screams after he raped her, but Dany is mad because she watched her abusive brother die. Holding character to a fucked up double Standard is dumb. You can't call Dany mad and not call everyone else mad. And don't get me started on the whole, "she was a Targaryen and destined to go mad." Have you ever really looked at the Targaryen liniage? In the 300 years that the Targaryen's have been inbreeding, only five, FIVE Targaryen's are recorded as going full on mad. And the Targaryen family has been through HUNDREDS of generations. The whole "coin toss" saying is so contrived and such a misused analogy about the Targaryen. The Targaryen's rarely had Mad Ruler's. And people always blame the incest for it, but MANY factors play into the madness of these Kings. My best example is of Dany's Father. Aerys Targaryen, or the Mad King. He started off as a good man and gentle hearted man. But he began growing Jealous of Tywin's influence and caused a drift between him and Tywin. It wasn't until after Aerys was captured in Duskendale that he went mad. His Paranoia increased and his fondness in fire gave him great pleasure in burning people. Hell, each time he burned someone, he's brutally Raped his own Queen/Sister. Dany has lost people in the past, but she NEVER took it out on Innocence. She took it out on her enemies, and when those two dumb hacks you're defending made her go mad, they destroyed what was otherwise one of the most compassionate and moral Ruler's of this show. Fuck off with the whole "if you think this is gonna be a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention." The Stark's got a goddamn good happy ending. Arya gets what she wants, Bran is King and Sansa is Queen in the North. By definition, they got a Happy end. Stop trying to defend the writing, cause it isn't working. And as this interview saw it, George didn't even come up with this. It was ALL D&D. So they fucked it up MAJOR and ruined George's Character's simply for Star Wars.
Popistan Iuliu Because everyone shit on them for the last season. It doesn’t matter what they themselves thought of that, the hatred and negativity drained any positive feeling about Game of Thrones. It’s a shame if you ask me.
Because D&D got found out and they know they can't bullshit everyone who isn't a journalist anymore's thats why the cast is kinda pissed off. The audience and fans all looked behind the curtain like in the Wizard of Oz and saw that the 'Magic' was really bullshit two hacks without GRRM's books after a while? managed to pull off and fool everyone for a couple of years. Then screwed up GOT's ending etc's!
because it ended poorly. i imagine it's because they were forced to complete the seasons, but they didn't have the source material to continue. that's why the beginning was so good and the ending is so bad. you can't really say they're bad writers or something if they were heavily relying on original material from the writer of the books. that's going to look so good, and the last few seasons are going to be the average tv show quality.
Because they realized they had a gigantic opportunity to make television history and leave it as their legacy on TV before moving onto the big screen with Star Wars, yet they squandered that and possibily ruined their reputation as well because anything with their names on it is gonna remind people what they've done with the biggest phenomenon on television. Also, HBO might be pissed at them because they planned on making spin offs of the show, prequels sequels and other bunch of shit yet no one cares anymore. They ruined HBO's business plan of milking A Song of Ice and Fire for all it's worth.
😅😅😅😅🤪😂🤣🤣🤣 when emilia heard Dragon queen. She was like wut and hide. HAHA so adorable. She was playing with her hair mind her own business and the question came she like huuu wuttt
Did you hear David and Dan say that Bran was always going to be King but some of the other things they came up with along the way. Which goes to show that they wrecked Jon Snow's arc vs the Night King just to subvert expectations and create a water cooler moment rather than give us the natural conclusion to Jon's story since season 1. 2 years I waited for S8 and all I wanted was the biggest showdown between Jon and the NK - something that would have blown Hardhome out of the water in epicness. But none of it mattered.
Best show ever made because you didn't like the ending doesn't matter, celebrate bitches, stop hating on it, this show just knocked the door down for TV shows and movies for it's era ...this cast and crew showed they're asses on stage because they go out on top, when u do that u don't have to answer questions from the few
Emilia Clark, I will always adore you.....Long live Daenerys Tarygaryen.... my QUEEN. ❤🐉👑🐉❤ (There better be another red witch out there somewhere.) Lena Headey, I hated your character - but damn you played her so well that I actually felt sorry for her, for CERSEI, at times, that's a job well done! Maisie, Arya was one bad ass character, and you brought her to life in HD, incredible job. Sophie, I wrestled with your character, but I felt compassion for her, you made her lovable. Kit, I always loved Jon, even if he knows nothing..... The entire cast, bravo and brava! You brought that world to life...YOU all did....with GRRM.... To the crew that worked their asses off, absolutely marvelous work! Kudos to you! Thank you ! Thank you to the cast and crew of GoT. I wish you far more, and far better, than what you got. Hopefully you'll get it one day. ❤ GoT won best drama because of the caliber of the cast and crew, and they deserved that. If you notice, they did not win writing awards. That speaks volumes.
My eyes were on Carice the entire time. She is a beautiful woman already, but the colors she wore couldn't be ignored. Her character arc in the show was one of the best, and she deserved an award for it. Hell, all of them deserved an award for working with D2.
Very disrespectful to the millions of fans that they disappointed with a very nonsensical haphazard poorly written final season. Just to clarify, most fans were not disappointed with the 'WHAT happened', story-wise or the actors/crew performances, it was the WAY it happened making no logical sense at all, that really pissed people off. All of those people choosing to name Bran the King at the end, made no sense because most of them had no reason to want him as king. Bran allowing Sansa to be be queen of the North when he is technically the liege lord of every noble in the North, makes no sense! Danearys killing all the civilians in Kings Landing right after the army gave up and she didn't need to, when she had spent the entire show fighting for and saving peasants and slaves, makes no sense! Jon and Dany not immediately deciding to share the throne with Jon allowing Dany to rule, since he has no ambition to rule anyways, makes no sense! All the Dothraki being killed in the first battle then reappearing miraculously TWICE, makes no sense! The unsullied not immediately killing Jon when he was found with Dany, makes no sense! Drogon not immediately killing Jon when he was found with Dany, makes no sense! Maybe some or all of these things actually will happen in the books if they are ever finished, but I guarantee you that the WAY they happen will make a hell of a lot MORE SENSE!
No, I don’t think Game of Thrones should’ve won the Best Drama Award. The award was for this year and this year alone. It wasn’t for all 8 seasons. The last two episodes of the series ruined this whole show which cost around $50 million per year to make. It wasn’t the bad writing or directing. It was the way they turned the show like a Crazy Ivan. They just wanted to give us an ending which we didn’t see coming, just to make themselves feel superior and self-congratulating themselves. So no, the twist ending was not good. The traditional ending would’ve been much much better because the whole series was excellent up to that point. The traditional ending being Danny and Jon getting the throne. There was nothing wrong with that. So they had done a good job for all the seasons and each season did have its surprises, but the stupid ending surprise should not have happened. It ruined 9 years of excellency. To see DxD healthy and neat was all the more frustrating. I thought they would be too embarrassed to show their face in public for at least a year. It seems that they have surrounded themselves with people who worship them and are in denial. They are congratulating themselves believing they are the best because they are in their own little world. The worst is this show will be nominated again for the Golden Globes!! Not looking forward to that.
I think you are wrong about them wanting to give us a surprise ending. All the foreshadowing from the books seem point to the same ending as the show. The main problem with the last 2 seasons was that the story was too rushed. Emilia turning into an antagonist makes a lot of sense, just not over the course of a couple episodes.
G.O.T. was epic. Masterful. Two thumbs and 8 fingers up. It's audience crossed generations, cultures, and ethnicities. These U.K. actors now have a fan following that is world wide. A true testament to their skills... I thank D&D for opening up a whole new world of fantasy fiction for me. Without this series I would have never read ASOIAF series. Which then led me to read LOTR series and now I'm reading the Witcher series.
I don't think the controversy was ever about Dany going all mad queen, that was always there. That's the problem with the media and frankly the cast not getting it. What upset fans was the break neck pace, the lazy writing and the lack of character development or the contradiction in character arches. They deviated so much after they caught up to the books that they took so many of the characters off into different directions and then lazily did last minute 180s or devolved them completely. Unfortunately Benioff and Weiss or the media will never understand what true fans of the books and the series were upset about. Tyrion and Varys becoming morons. Jaime's character going through this complete Transformation only to go back to season one's jaime. Pulling Danys character away from that of the mad queen and snap throw her back in the span of a single episode. Spend years building up the Dark night then have it be nothing but a blip on the radar and a relatively inconsequential event. The writing and the pace did the fans dirty. The Actors as always in their 10 year journey were truly amazing. The crew created a visually stunning spectacle. But fans will always feel like Benioff and Weiss woke up one morning and decided "We're over this" and just slapped a "The End" graphic on it. It's like listening to someone read half of the sleeping beauty realizing it's bedtime and saying so she pricks her finger falls asleep prince wakes her with a kiss and everyone lives happily ever after THE END. Oh yeah and there was like a dragon a fight and the evil queen gets killed... good night. Whoa! wait! what???? Go back!!! Sorry I have star wars to do.
T H I am talking about this season and why there was a huge backlash. Season 8 specifically got a huge amount of backlash mainly because of Dany’s arc and because of the writing of some other characters. Making Bran the king was also another factor as to why this season received immense amount of backlash and criticism.
Insane that people think a hard working crew is automatically supposed to make an audience love and appreciate a show or product. That logic never felt right to me. A show has to be satisfying, Kit, it doesn't matter how hard you people worked. Your work is paid for with money, but the product can still fail even with hard work behind it and you gotta just acknowledge that for the sake of future improvement in the field. The current global mindset of normalizing that hard work is all that is needed will be every field's failure. Just like in GOT, the moment you ignore critics and counsel, it will be the start of the end for you.
Now we have the Golden Globes to look forward to for more or hopefully none awards to GOT. I hope they hire Rick Gervais again and he just roasts GOT to the ground.
Well, Gervais is BACK baby! BUT, Kit was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Television Drama. The Only nominated cast member for anything GOT related. GOT only got one nomination for this year's Golden Globes. Honestly, I would've given that Nom to Emilia Clarke, but whatever. Gervais is back and that's all that matters.
It's so funny how everyone is blaming Dan and David - I blame the writer he had enough time to finish the books and end it the way he wanted too. He didn't so the blame is FULLY on him. He was lazy. He can't sit there and complain now about how it ended. Sorry but that's my opinion. I had no issues with the final season other than it was quick. Arya killing the Night King was epic. Danny going mad queen, she showed signs of that every season not sure why people felt betrayed. You can't please everyone with the ending But I'm glad the Starks took control in the end. It began with them and it ended with them. That is how it was supposed to be ..... in my opinion. Glad the show got the award for best drama. They deserved it not only for the show itself but for the hard work from the actors and crew. Every season of this show was amazing and it will be missed. Thank you to all who worked on it. There will never be anything like it.
@tulip19710226 I’ve been thinking the same thing. George RR said ”yes” to let them make a series out of his books. He had a responsability to finish the books before the show caught up. He was the only man who could have known if he was up for that task or not. He didn’t know himself well enough, obviously. Too slow of a writer. That’s actually not Dan & David’s fault. What should they have done with season 7 and 8?! Stopped shooting, waiting for George to finish writing? That could have taken years. The actors would have changed their looks, and besides, they couldn’t just let the crew and actors hang around waiting, could they? It would have limited the crew’s and actors’ possibilities to accept other offers of shows / movies. They would have had to pay them their ”market value price” during that waiting period as well. Impossible of course. So, George RR Martin is the reason seasons 7 and 8 turned out the way they did. David & Dan have never claimed they are as good writers of Game of Thrones as G RR M. But they can’t talk about all this publically, because of their loyalty to GRRM.
@@magicforest71 Exactly. Had he finished the books we would have been much better. But you can't expect D&D and the cast and crew to wait around for GRRM to finish writing. He had plenty of time. He obviously had no idea how to finish it off. That's is not D&D's fault.
@@hilaryrussell5804 you can't please everyone unfortunately. What I was saying was that ultimately it is the author's job to finish the story line not D&D and he didn't. It's a shame it ended in so much controversy especially for the crew and actors that put so much time and effort into the last 2 seasons.
The actors and the characters they portray ARE the show, they deserve awards for the show winning Best Drama just as much as the people behind the scenes. It feels so wrong seeing everyone with the gold but the amazing cast (Peter Dinklage not included).
They were all laughing when they were asked if it was really Aria who’s gonna kill the night king because it’s really not her. They need like 2 more seasons for the entire arc of the Night king and white walkers. I mean come on. The high sparrow was in like 2 seasons and the night king was easily killed after a few appearances on the season finale!
it's like Dan&Dave were afraid of the questions... waiting for someone to call them out on the shitty writing of the last season and not having an excuse to justify their choices.
Cast, Crew... Literally everyone but D&D awesome job! you deserve ALL the recognition and praise. D&D, buzz off. If I hear you talk about how much you're going to celebrate and get drunk (basically what you did while writing your scripts), Ima lose it! This show will age just about as great as season 8 did the first time. It was trash!!
Why was that the last question?! They should have at least be respectful and professional to the actors. I feel sad for all of them, really. They worked hard for this show, even if it wasn't a good ending for many. 😢
@@jasminedavis7236 gonna be honest KP is right D&D literally rushed season 8 just barely into qualifying for the emmies so that they can get to a new project they dont deserve to butcher star wars
The question was for D&D and not to the actors and it was their responsibility to answer them and not put actors to answer them and still hold that emmy
I cried the last night of GOTs everything was unexpected but exciting..But I am now left wanting more! Life without GOT is...sad. I do hope they come out with something more for the fans in the future.
She literally ducked when her character was mentioned. She didnt want to take part in any off it - she's stood playing with hair waiting for it to be over.
DB Weiss wants another excuse to leave hard questions behind and go have another hard drink at the bar i reckon! While Benioff makes excuses wanting to go to his damn yacht or claim he's way too busy to answer questions now that the show is over and done with etc's (shrugs).
Nikolaj eating an ice cream and then casually sneaking away from the stage in the middle of the press conference 🤦😂😂
0:30 And Sophie probably asking Nikolaj where he got the icecream 🤣
See jorah be like: "I am gonna protect my Khaleesi from those interviewers" LOL
Love the duo
Poor Alfie, he got put on the spot there lol.
Emilia Clarke is the best!!! I was rooting for her to win the Emmy. Even though she didn't won this award she has one of the most memorable characters on tv.
She was a horrible actress in all seasons but the last one. By then, she’d finally learned.
She sure didn’t get hired because of her good acting skills. Dan & David fell in love with her looks and smile and had to persuade the HBO-people. They’ve even admitted that in interviews!
Anna A Emilia was *not* horrible, she played Daenerys much in the way the book describes her. She played Daenerys as stoic, refrained, and dignified (which is obviously not Emilia’s personal character), and had to register a lot of emotions through her eyes and face. Haters who think you have to overact to be “acting” just whine she was cast for her looks. Emilia became the Mother of Dragons, and your opinion does nothing to diminish this for millions of other people.
She was the best! Because of her I started to watch the show 😍
She was robbed! She took an awful script and made it personal. I still think Bran warged into Drogon, we never saw her face as he burned the city.
She and her character will be remembered for a long time, when the winners will be long forgotten. The same happened to shows like Buffy whose actors were always snubbed at award shows because of the bias against fantasy.
Nikolaj is eating an ice cream 😂 😂
Yeah, and after finishing it, he casually slips away from the stage in the middle of the press conference 😂
He got a very bad case of the; "munchies" (need to eat something) didn't he!
and you can see sophie and maisie asking him where he got it lol

alfie being all confused and everyone cracking up lmao i love this cast
Wow Kit had a really hard time answering that last question, and it wasn't even his question to answer. D&D should've stepped up and answered it but who knows what kind of bogus reason they would've given.
They kind of forgot
He had a classy answer to a stupid question
I envy him. I wish I hadn’t seen that garbage last season
@@Tanoshisa166 You beat me to it.
Nikolaj eating an ice cream is a mood❤️😂😂
6:40 Sophie and Maisie accepting the title of "children"!!
Theon Greyjoy is the best acting ive seen in years.
The problem is that everybody treats the controversy issue as if it's not even an issue, as if it is somewhat rude of the journalist to pose such a question. I mean, of course they loved their job and why wouldn't they, it's the offspring of their effort and passion, of course they would support the choices of Benioff and Weiss, they 're their friends and colleagues. But yet again, the audience was disappointed. And that's a fact. And that didn't happen because their feelings for the show made them want a specific ending, it happened because the story was rushed and at some places odd when it really didn't have to be. All these years the cast and crew supported the positive reaction of the audience and cherished their adoration but when that reaction wasn't that positive anymore they decided to make excuses for no apparent reason. Game of thrones was an amazing show. Season 8 was amazing, compared to mainstream tv. But compared to the show itself, it was a letdown. And while the cast achieved their ultimate acting potential, while the crew managed to pull off the hardest and most demanding of circumstances, the story itself betrayed all of them.
Very well put, definitely agree!
Amen to that. Biggest mistake of all. TIME
@Andreas Giannaras I couldn’t agree more!
And I lost interest in rewatching GOT, just because of how the actors and D&D handled the critic afterwords. I kind of lost respect for them.
If only they had been humble and showed that at least they _listened_ to what their devoted fans told them. If only they had expressed some sort of regret, or at least explained how they were thinking and why they made the choices they made. That would have gotten me back on their side again, I think. That would have shown they respect their fans.
But they didn’t. They disqualified the show’s fans’ opinions and emotions by ignoring them completely. Makes me feel ”betrayed”. A let down.
@@magicforest71 Emilia Clarke Did! She was one of the few cast Members that addressed the criticism with maturity. She understood both sides of the argument and gave a very classy response. And in doing so, she gained more respect since she didn't go out of her way to piss fans off. (I'm looking at Kit and Sophie on this one) Others, blindly defended it. Blamed the fans and went out of their ways to praise the Season and shit on the fans response.
@Tasha Glam That’s good to hear. I obviously missed that. Link?
even if season 7 & 8 couldn’t get to the standard of the other seasons nothing will ever beat those actors those characters and the game of thrones world.
I swear! Those actors put 10 years of their lives into that story and they dont deserve everyones criticism, and they didnt put in all that work just for people to slander it at the end. It's still better than any other show
I love Sophie cute little shuffle trying to get next to Nikolaj 🤣
And he's busy eating ice cream 😂
8:07 Awwww Emilia I Just Love Her So Much 😍 So Freaking Cute How Can You Not Love
The Dragon🐉 Queen👑
How pathetic that Dan and Dave are still hiding even on this stage and making the actors answer questions for them.

the real queen
One & only Queen😍
beomgyuwu love that she ducked at the mention of Dragon Queen and can’t stop playing with her extensions!😃
I was so upset Emilia didn't win. Omg! Kit Harington is absolutely beautiful. I'm thrilled for Peter Dinklage, great actor. Lena Headey is the Susan Lucci of the Emmys. They disrespect Lena ever year. She should have at least 6 Emmys by now.
Congratulations to everyone in front of and behind the camera.
The egos of D&D are really disgusting. All my love and respect to the cast
Agreed!
Such huge egos? Because they don't subject themselves to the infant like complaining from "fans" lol shows over wtf they supposed to say now.. y'all hated... Ok... do they deserve to be stoned to death.. what do people expect at this point.
@@travismartin4863 Amen Travis.
Nothing about this interview says "huge egos". The questions were "oh Game of Thrones is so huge, how does that feel?" DnD responded appropriately: "I hope people watch and like it." That obviously wasn't the case at the moment.
So what?
Kit is so protective of his peeps it's admirable really. A true King quality ❤️
Alfie Allen and Emilia Clarke got robbed of their emmy awards they should have won it,they deserved it and why on earth did game of thrones won the award for best drama series it was the worst finale episode in the history of television.
Nikolai should’ve won that award. Not peter.
It wasnt.
Such a major robbery, I'm just saying. Just why?
@@Justin-ev8nn I couldn't agree more!

Duty called! The only decent person really.
strawdawgs78 RT TV
"didnt really affect us" ...ya ok didnt kit go into rehab or something due to too much stress from the reaction after the finale?! way to dodge the damn question.
@@sofiamd1 the stress probably came from spending over a decade of his young life on the dopest set in the world, and then having it come to an end... it had to have been hard for all the actors.. it would be like giving up a part of yourself... lol people think he checked into a rehab because the fans didn't like the last season LMAO... holy shit people are self absorbed #yikes
Emilia beside Iain, awwww love those two
He is still protective of her even now
0:51love how Maisie asks Nikolaj where he got the ice cream
Emilia so didn't want to be there xD They did her so dirty...
Tiana yeah they did her “so dirty”. If D&D didn’t cast her she would never had a career but suuuuuuure she must really hate them. Great theory Sherlock
Vincent Knight clearly, my “they” wasn’t clear enough, I meant they as in the reason she lost the Emmy... Sherlock.
@@vincentknight27 he wasn't talking about D&D dude.
You're projecting lol just cause you hate the ending does not mean she does. And idk how people missed this... season 2 foreshadowed her in the thrown room, after her Dragon had destroyed it.... season fucking 2.. That was the ending from the beginning.... people need to pay attention
Dan and Dave missed a big opportunity to put a lot of the controversies to bed in that last question. Instead they looked like they were hiding behind their cast. Like... really?
They do not owe any of you any explanation. Dwl.
They did an awesome job...all the spoiled brats crying because it didnt end the way they wanted...o well. Moving right along
@@jasminedavis7236 And Its time for you to see the season for the epic shitshow it was.
Exactly
@@jasminedavis7236 Youre a complete troll. The last season was objectively bad from every principle of basic storytelling. Its not a matter of not liking the end results, its about it all making sense in the context of the larger story. Spoiler alert: it didn't
@@jasminedavis7236 the show hasn't felt the same for me since season 5. The fact that so many people agree on this isn't a coincidence, something went wrong.
1:47 Brienne looking at Jaime eating ice cream during interview, she just wants to scold him. Haha
dany & ser jorah ❤️
beomgyuwu Ahh Yes ❤️😍
I feel like Kit couldn’t watch it because it brought up some issues about letting go of the life he created around the show. Like made him sad or something.
I dunno I could be wrong 🤷🏼♂️
I’m still sad it’s over anyway.
Joel Delaney : The show was very psychologically hard on Kit. He expressed this sentiment in many interviews.
He dun wunt it
Yeah he was, he was abusing alcohol and had to go to a luxury mental health treatment for a few months to get help.
He also became emotional at the fact that he killed Emilia's character during the table read. The backlash was icing on the cake
I think he just hated the last season. Found it disappointing it seems.
Lena Headey wearing slippers MY QUEEN
Yesss!!!
the cast was so done lol
Done with people's bullshit... lol if you're good at your job, but people ridiculed your hard work because your boss is an idiot... you would be over it too.
What do you expect and dumb and dumber can’t even answer the questions because they know they messed up the show badly
Cercei ,Sr Davos ,Jon,Theon, Arya , and Tyron,The best characters(actors) ,but Lena Headey played her role better than anyone could've !

Emilia is the best :)
Peter Dinklage at the start was like
"No. I don't wanna stand next to you"
5:30 let's enjoy this moment
Despite how the show ends it was still iconic and one in a million
Kit: What was it??
You really do know nothing, Jon Snow. Even after the show has ended.
Controversy ”didn’t really affect them”?! And yet they all went under a rock hiding for half a year, after the show ended... Half of the main character actors didn’t even show up at the comic con.
Nah, Kit Harrington, I don’t believe you weren’t affected.
he went into rehab or something because of the insane amount of stress he was in from the backlash after the finale. hes a liar.
@@sofiamd1 He's not lying - he checked into a wellness centre around episode 3 - the backlash didnt kick off until episode 4 when Missandei died and everyone found out the spoilers about Dany were true. Also he checked in for stress, exhaustion and alcohol. It's great he looks so healthy at the Emmys - actually proud of him.
@@NatE-ms6ri I think he was having a hard time letting go of the show, and maybe having a bit of an identity crisis to boot, wondering what will come next...
Despite the ending, it was a great ride. Still the best show we ever had.
Joseph Deluca yes, so true!
No not true at all. Most overrated show of all time. Season 3 and 4 were masterpieces but the rest were ordinary tbhz
Omar Usmani Whew, good thing your opinion doesn’t matter.
Omar Usmani on god game of nerds is overrated and some of the first few seasons hit but it was average and everyone hyped it up
Nah, last two episodes of the series ruined the whole show. It’s like going to Disneyland and someone dying. Vacation ruined. Or having a thanksgiving dinner with your friends and family but someone chokes on a bone and dies. Every thanksgiving from then on will be ruined, just like the future GOT prequels will be ruined.
Peter Dinklage won for doing nothing, he just stood still and stared at stuff for the whole season. The show won best series and Emilia Clarke, who solely carried the terrible last season on her shoulders and did wonders with the shit material she was given, didn't win. It honestly pisses me off to see the two hack show runners getting awarded and Emilia empty-handed when she saved the shit they wrote. Award shows are just popularity contests, they have nothing to do with talent, skill or quality.
You super salty it didnt end how you would have liked. The last season was good, and people who say otherwise lost touch with the actual story... She was kinda crazy from the beginning
@@travismartin4863 Just, fuck off. Please just fuck off. If you actually thought that this season was good, I truly think you're being paid to type this. Did you hit your head hard against something? Cause don't even TRY to say that this season was on par to the last 7 seasons.
In this season, we have seen characters act out of ways so inconsistent with how they have previously, it's baffling. We saw the Character assassinations of Daenerys Targaryen, Jamie Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Varys, Cersei Lannister and Jon Snow In one swift blow. With the latter two being SIDELINED in their own stories. We have seen the plot get beat and defiled so beyond recognition. The show lost its own plot when they decided to destroy the same being that was supposed be the doom of humanity and destroy everything after thousands of years of trying to get by the wall with a formidable force. And apparently the 'Big Bad' of this show was more important than this magical being that planned to destroy EVERYTHING! And even that route went to SHIT since the big bad ended up dying in her lovers arms under rubble. After 7 seasons of being the biggest BITCH in Westeros, she gets killed with BRICKS! Plot Armor was jacked to bullshiittery even though we literally saw about 15 instances in which characters would've been killed in the first 6 Seasons. We got bullshit comments such as "Dany kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet" even though she was in the air and she would've saw them from a mile away. And no don't even start with the whole foreshadowing thing with Dany because that is BULLSHIT! Stop defending these hacks, they defiled this story so hard that it should be criminal. We didn't lose touch with the story, the SHOW did. It lost touch of its own rules, plots and Character's. This anger doesn't stem from just no where.
@@tashaglam4824 you're super entitled.. lol it's a show, not your personal biography. You lost touch with the story lol they literally foreshadowed everyone's demise from the first episode. They stayed true to the arcs... Jamie literally said he "wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves" also like Ramsey hinted "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention" also get a grip, it's a story lol 😆
@@travismartin4863 Oh dear...
This wasn't a Biography, it was facts.
If you actually believe that this was how it was all meant to be, I think you've been taken hostage and are being forced to write this. But since you're giving me no choice, I have to do it...
FORESHADOWING IS *NOT* STORYTELLING OR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
It's a simple fact. You can foreshadow a number of things, but it doesn't equal Character Development in the terms of ANY of the Characters in this show.
Who should I start off with, Dany or Jamie?
I'll just start with Jamie, cause it's easier.
Jamie Lannister, son of Tywin Lannister, and commonly referred to as the Kingslayer because he betrayed his oath to save the Kingdom was fucked over entirely. He starts off as this arrogant sister-fucker that we're all supposed to hate because of his audacity to openly defy 'good' people like Ned Stark and kill children. He was an Antagonist to us. Perhaps the first one in this show other than Viserys in our eyes. And over the Last few seasons, he begins to grow past his entire "Lannister only matter" motto that his Father implanted in his head. It's when he meets people like Brianne that we understand that Jamie truly has a good heart. That he has a sense of Honor and will risk his life and reputation for innocence as evidenced in the hot tub scene in S3 where he Reveals what was really going through his head when he killed the King. It wasn't out of selfishness, or for his family, it was because he couldn't allow more innocence to die at the hands of the King. And after spending years as being Cersei's little puppet, he grows away from her, because each adventure he takes, he meets people and understands them. And does his best to prove them wrong about him being dishonorable. His ENTIRE plot has been about building away from Cersei and take on a new life where he is in control. So all of his Development was FUCKED when he backtracked on all of his ideals to return to a monster like Cersei, after knowing all the monstrous acts she has committed, just because he had to. And to die the world's most flaccid death with his bitch of a sister. Just because he said ONE line in the past doesn't uphold to this. People CHANGE, and when he said this line, he was still under Cersei's grasp, and was still her puppet. He never would've said this line in Season 7 AT ALL after realizing everything she has done. So when he returned to Cersei, it ruined all the character development he once had. He only turned back to his family in the end. And it destroyed the journey he endured in the last 7 Seasons, proving to be the BIGGEST dissappoinment of this season.
@@travismartin4863 And here we go, it's time to deal with Daenerys.
First of all, if you truly believe that this is the Real Dany, then YOU have missed the point of the show.
Dany started off as a piece of meat that was sold to a vicious War Lord in exchange for an Army by her brother. And before that she was practically living on the streets with her abusive brother after their family was murdered and they were kicked out of their home. She got RAPED, and had to resort to seducing her husband with sex to make living bearable because she was on the verge. She eventually found a way to love him, and conceived a son. This was the first time in her life where she was truly happy. She had a family, she had love. But she was too trusting, and in a matter of a few days she lost EVERYTHING. And she resorted to using blood magic as a way to hatch her Dragon eggs, and she successfully did, and arose with the world's first dragons in centuries.
When Dany took the Unsullied and Sacked Astapor to save the slaves, she had the army she needed to invade Westeros. When she was offered riches to buy ships to sail, she REFUSED. Let me remind you, she was offered EVERYTHING she needed to take back the throne, and she DELAYED it all. Why? So she could set all the slaves in chains free. Saving innocence slaves was a goal that proceeded her own intentions to take the throne, and she did so thoughtfully.
Dany is a girl in a Medieval world where the intelligence of Women is underestimated and they are treated like shit. Dany's entire storyline evolved around Asserting her own power, but saving innocent people since no one else cares to look out for the small folk in the slightest. She has a dark side to her and she can be ruthlessness, but up until Season 8 Episode 5, she NEVER killed an innocent person. Every person she killed has always been a direct threat to her or her people. The show definitely set up a ruthless side to Dany, but that doesn't make her mad by any means.
The word 'mad' had been used in this show to define people as horrible killers at this point. But if Dany is called Mad because she killed people in the past, this word needs to be applied to EVERYONE in this show.
Arya killed and baked two sons into a pie, fed them to their father and cut his throat, and almost immediately murdered an entire house as revenge for her family. How is this not mad? Dany has enacted vengeance to Mirri and the Slave Masters for betraying her and gets called mad for taking revenge, yet Arya isn't?
They say that she was mad because she emotionlessly watched her brother die. Ummmm, so did y'all forget how much of an Abusive shit he was to Dany? He beat her and defiled her multiple times, and then he threatens to kill her baby. It's natural, but apparently acting all cold to the death of you're abuser is a BAAAADDD thing. So let's talk about Sansa who walked away SMILING as she listened to Ramsey getting teared to death by his dogs. Why was this not an indicator that Sansa is mad because she enjoys listening to her enemies screams after he raped her, but Dany is mad because she watched her abusive brother die. Holding character to a fucked up double Standard is dumb. You can't call Dany mad and not call everyone else mad.
And don't get me started on the whole, "she was a Targaryen and destined to go mad." Have you ever really looked at the Targaryen liniage? In the 300 years that the Targaryen's have been inbreeding, only five, FIVE Targaryen's are recorded as going full on mad. And the Targaryen family has been through HUNDREDS of generations. The whole "coin toss" saying is so contrived and such a misused analogy about the Targaryen. The Targaryen's rarely had Mad Ruler's. And people always blame the incest for it, but MANY factors play into the madness of these Kings. My best example is of Dany's Father. Aerys Targaryen, or the Mad King. He started off as a good man and gentle hearted man. But he began growing Jealous of Tywin's influence and caused a drift between him and Tywin. It wasn't until after Aerys was captured in Duskendale that he went mad. His Paranoia increased and his fondness in fire gave him great pleasure in burning people. Hell, each time he burned someone, he's brutally Raped his own Queen/Sister.
Dany has lost people in the past, but she NEVER took it out on Innocence. She took it out on her enemies, and when those two dumb hacks you're defending made her go mad, they destroyed what was otherwise one of the most compassionate and moral Ruler's of this show.
Fuck off with the whole "if you think this is gonna be a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention." The Stark's got a goddamn good happy ending. Arya gets what she wants, Bran is King and Sansa is Queen in the North. By definition, they got a Happy end. Stop trying to defend the writing, cause it isn't working.
And as this interview saw it, George didn't even come up with this. It was ALL D&D. So they fucked it up MAJOR and ruined George's Character's simply for Star Wars.
They won. But they seem unhappy...I wonder why ?
Popistan Iuliu
Because everyone shit on them for the last season. It doesn’t matter what they themselves thought of that, the hatred and negativity drained any positive feeling about Game of Thrones. It’s a shame if you ask me.
Because D&D got found out and they know they can't bullshit everyone who isn't a journalist anymore's thats why the cast is kinda pissed off. The audience and fans all looked behind the curtain like in the Wizard of Oz and saw that the 'Magic' was really bullshit two hacks without GRRM's books after a while? managed to pull off and fool everyone for a couple of years. Then screwed up GOT's ending etc's!
because it ended poorly. i imagine it's because they were forced to complete the seasons, but they didn't have the source material to continue. that's why the beginning was so good and the ending is so bad. you can't really say they're bad writers or something if they were heavily relying on original material from the writer of the books. that's going to look so good, and the last few seasons are going to be the average tv show quality.
Because they realized they had a gigantic opportunity to make television history and leave it as their legacy on TV before moving onto the big screen with Star Wars, yet they squandered that and possibily ruined their reputation as well because anything with their names on it is gonna remind people what they've done with the biggest phenomenon on television.
Also, HBO might be pissed at them because they planned on making spin offs of the show, prequels sequels and other bunch of shit yet no one cares anymore. They ruined HBO's business plan of milking A Song of Ice and Fire for all it's worth.
Yup!!!
I stan for Peter Dinklage. well deserved 👏
Every Actors and actresses won the Emmy awards in every seasons expect for season 7.
I just liked watching Niki eating his ice cream lol
Can’t believe D&D made Alfie answer a writing question 🤦🏼♀️

carice van houten is freaking hot. emilia clark as well
Awwww... its Dany and Jorah standing next to each other all along.
I need to ignore negative energy just like Emilia Clarke ignoring the question in 8:08 hahhahah
What was going on with those journalists and their questions? Dull....
They have no imagination, they live in Hollywood after all. A system relying on 90% remakes and sequels so what did you expect really from them??!

@Travis Martin May I ask just what kind of ending do you think we were looking for?
Troy Townsend one that made sense
I LOVED WATCHING EACH ONE IN THIS VIDEO 🥺🥰
Did you notice that when Kit took the stand everyone just stopped talking to each other and pay attention to what he said?
Eleni Kaleri Yeaahh, really
😅😅😅😅🤪😂🤣🤣🤣 when emilia heard Dragon queen. She was like wut and hide. HAHA so adorable. She was playing with her hair mind her own business and the question came she like huuu wuttt
Did you hear David and Dan say that Bran was always going to be King but some of the other things they came up with along the way. Which goes to show that they wrecked Jon Snow's arc vs the Night King just to subvert expectations and create a water cooler moment rather than give us the natural conclusion to Jon's story since season 1. 2 years I waited for S8 and all I wanted was the biggest showdown between Jon and the NK - something that would have blown Hardhome out of the water in epicness. But none of it mattered.
D&D kinda of forgot about that last question
Best show ever made because you didn't like the ending doesn't matter, celebrate bitches, stop hating on it, this show just knocked the door down for TV shows and movies for it's era ...this cast and crew showed they're asses on stage because they go out on top, when u do that u don't have to answer questions from the few
So we kinda forgot how to write a good show
Emilia Clark, I will always adore you.....Long live Daenerys Tarygaryen.... my QUEEN. ❤🐉👑🐉❤ (There better be another red witch out there somewhere.)
Lena Headey, I hated your character - but damn you played her so well that I actually felt sorry for her, for CERSEI, at times, that's a job well done!
Maisie, Arya was one bad ass character, and you brought her to life in HD, incredible job.
Sophie, I wrestled with your character, but I felt compassion for her, you made her lovable.
Kit, I always loved Jon, even if he knows nothing.....
The entire cast, bravo and brava! You brought that world to life...YOU all did....with GRRM....
To the crew that worked their asses off, absolutely marvelous work! Kudos to you! Thank you !
Thank you to the cast and crew of GoT. I wish you far more, and far better, than what you got. Hopefully you'll get it one day. ❤
GoT won best drama because of the caliber of the cast and crew, and they deserved that. If you notice, they did not win writing awards. That speaks volumes.
Peter Dinklage winning an Emmy is like running water at this point
My eyes were on Carice the entire time. She is a beautiful woman already, but the colors she wore couldn't be ignored. Her character arc in the show was one of the best, and she deserved an award for it. Hell, all of them deserved an award for working with D2.
None of them loved the ending of the show... 😂😂😂
GOT please come back. Drogon took Danny away. Maybe he healed her with dragon magic.
0:27 did Cersei wear flip flops? :D ^^
D&D were such cowards they did not dare to answer the final question!
Imagine how a teenager or anybody else for that sake, in the year, let’s say, 2037, will experience the show for the first time
0:52 Sophie smacked Maisie on the face with her hair hahaha short people problems
Very disrespectful to the millions of fans that they disappointed with a very nonsensical haphazard poorly written final season. Just to clarify, most fans were not disappointed with the 'WHAT happened', story-wise or the actors/crew performances, it was the WAY it happened making no logical sense at all, that really pissed people off. All of those people choosing to name Bran the King at the end, made no sense because most of them had no reason to want him as king. Bran allowing Sansa to be be queen of the North when he is technically the liege lord of every noble in the North, makes no sense! Danearys killing all the civilians in Kings Landing right after the army gave up and she didn't need to, when she had spent the entire show fighting for and saving peasants and slaves, makes no sense! Jon and Dany not immediately deciding to share the throne with Jon allowing Dany to rule, since he has no ambition to rule anyways, makes no sense! All the Dothraki being killed in the first battle then reappearing miraculously TWICE, makes no sense! The unsullied not immediately killing Jon when he was found with Dany, makes no sense! Drogon not immediately killing Jon when he was found with Dany, makes no sense! Maybe some or all of these things actually will happen in the books if they are ever finished, but I guarantee you that the WAY they happen will make a hell of a lot MORE SENSE!
You are correct. As you noted, the list of things that made no sense seems endless. You could drive a herd of mammoths through the plot holes.
No, I don’t think Game of Thrones should’ve won the Best Drama Award. The award was for this year and this year alone. It wasn’t for all 8 seasons. The last two episodes of the series ruined this whole show which cost around $50 million per year to make. It wasn’t the bad writing or directing. It was the way they turned the show like a Crazy Ivan. They just wanted to give us an ending which we didn’t see coming, just to make themselves feel superior and self-congratulating themselves. So no, the twist ending was not good. The traditional ending would’ve been much much better because the whole series was excellent up to that point. The traditional ending being Danny and Jon getting the throne. There was nothing wrong with that. So they had done a good job for all the seasons and each season did have its surprises, but the stupid ending surprise should not have happened. It ruined 9 years of excellency.
To see DxD healthy and neat was all the more frustrating. I thought they would be too embarrassed to show their face in public for at least a year. It seems that they have surrounded themselves with people who worship them and are in denial. They are congratulating themselves believing they are the best because they are in their own little world. The worst is this show will be nominated again for the Golden Globes!! Not looking forward to that.
I think you are wrong about them wanting to give us a surprise ending. All the foreshadowing from the books seem point to the same ending as the show. The main problem with the last 2 seasons was that the story was too rushed. Emilia turning into an antagonist makes a lot of sense, just not over the course of a couple episodes.
Okay, so they knew all along that is was going to be Bran. But they couldn't have made his story better so it made sense?
G.O.T. was epic. Masterful. Two thumbs and 8 fingers up. It's audience crossed generations, cultures, and ethnicities. These U.K. actors now have a fan following that is world wide. A true testament to their skills... I thank D&D for opening up a whole new world of fantasy fiction for me. Without this series I would have never read ASOIAF series. Which then led me to read LOTR series and now I'm reading the Witcher series.
I don't think the controversy was ever about Dany going all mad queen, that was always there.
That's the problem with the media and frankly the cast not getting it. What upset fans was the break neck pace, the lazy writing and the lack of character development or the contradiction in character arches. They deviated so much after they caught up to the books that they took so many of the characters off into different directions and then lazily did last minute 180s or devolved them completely.
Unfortunately Benioff and Weiss or the media will never understand what true fans of the books and the series were upset about. Tyrion and Varys becoming morons. Jaime's character going through this complete Transformation only to go back to season one's jaime.
Pulling Danys character away from that of the mad queen and snap throw her back in the span of a single episode. Spend years building up the Dark night then have it be nothing but a blip on the radar and a relatively inconsequential event.
The writing and the pace did the fans dirty. The Actors as always in their 10 year journey were truly amazing. The crew created a visually stunning spectacle.
But fans will always feel like Benioff and Weiss woke up one morning and decided "We're over this" and just slapped a "The End" graphic on it.
It's like listening to someone read half of the sleeping beauty realizing it's bedtime and saying so she pricks her finger falls asleep prince wakes her with a kiss and everyone lives happily ever after THE END. Oh yeah and there was like a dragon a fight and the evil queen gets killed... good night.
Whoa! wait! what???? Go back!!!
Sorry I have star wars to do.
Well said!! I totally agree. 👍
The controversy and backlash started when they switched on Dany.
@@daniscottxo um no it's started when the show caught up with the books and the writing and story arches started to go down the shitter.
T H I am talking about this season and why there was a huge backlash. Season 8 specifically got a huge amount of backlash mainly because of Dany’s arc and because of the writing of some other characters. Making Bran the king was also another factor as to why this season received immense amount of backlash and criticism.
Insane that people think a hard working crew is automatically supposed to make an audience love and appreciate a show or product. That logic never felt right to me. A show has to be satisfying, Kit, it doesn't matter how hard you people worked. Your work is paid for with money, but the product can still fail even with hard work behind it and you gotta just acknowledge that for the sake of future improvement in the field. The current global mindset of normalizing that hard work is all that is needed will be every field's failure. Just like in GOT, the moment you ignore critics and counsel, it will be the start of the end for you.
Now we have the Golden Globes to look forward to for more or hopefully none awards to GOT. I hope they hire Rick Gervais again and he just roasts GOT to the ground.
Well, Gervais is BACK baby! BUT, Kit was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Television Drama. The Only nominated cast member for anything GOT related. GOT only got one nomination for this year's Golden Globes. Honestly, I would've given that Nom to Emilia Clarke, but whatever. Gervais is back and that's all that matters.
It's so funny how everyone is blaming Dan and David - I blame the writer he had enough time to finish the books and end it the way he wanted too. He didn't so the blame is FULLY on him. He was lazy. He can't sit there and complain now about how it ended. Sorry but that's my opinion. I had no issues with the final season other than it was quick. Arya killing the Night King was epic. Danny going mad queen, she showed signs of that every season not sure why people felt betrayed. You can't please everyone with the ending But I'm glad the Starks took control in the end. It began with them and it ended with them. That is how it was supposed to be ..... in my opinion. Glad the show got the award for best drama. They deserved it not only for the show itself but for the hard work from the actors and crew. Every season of this show was amazing and it will be missed. Thank you to all who worked on it. There will never be anything like it.
@tulip19710226 I’ve been thinking the same thing. George RR said ”yes” to let them make a series out of his books. He had a responsability to finish the books before the show caught up. He was the only man who could have known if he was up for that task or not. He didn’t know himself well enough, obviously. Too slow of a writer.
That’s actually not Dan & David’s fault.
What should they have done with season 7 and 8?! Stopped shooting, waiting for George to finish writing? That could have taken years. The actors would have changed their looks, and besides, they couldn’t just let the crew and actors hang around waiting, could they?
It would have limited the crew’s and actors’ possibilities to accept other offers of shows / movies. They would have had to pay them their ”market value price” during that waiting period as well. Impossible of course.
So, George RR Martin is the reason seasons 7 and 8 turned out the way they did. David & Dan have never claimed they are as good writers of Game of Thrones as G RR M. But they can’t talk about all this publically, because of their loyalty to GRRM.
Finally someone said it! I do blame D&D as well but Martin is responsible as well and people never blame him, cause he's the writer.
@@magicforest71 Exactly. Had he finished the books we would have been much better. But you can't expect D&D and the cast and crew to wait around for GRRM to finish writing. He had plenty of time. He obviously had no idea how to finish it off. That's is not D&D's fault.
@@hilaryrussell5804 you can't please everyone unfortunately. What I was saying was that ultimately it is the author's job to finish the story line not D&D and he didn't. It's a shame it ended in so much controversy especially for the crew and actors that put so much time and effort into the last 2 seasons.
D&D aren't meant to do this.
they are acting like children...to be fair tho audience asked some stupid questions
The actors and the characters they portray ARE the show, they deserve awards for the show winning Best Drama just as much as the people behind the scenes. It feels so wrong seeing everyone with the gold but the amazing cast (Peter Dinklage not included).
They were all laughing when they were asked if it was really Aria who’s gonna kill the night king because it’s really not her. They need like 2 more seasons for the entire arc of the Night king and white walkers. I mean come on. The high sparrow was in like 2 seasons and the night king was easily killed after a few appearances on the season finale!
it's like Dan&Dave were afraid of the questions...
waiting for someone to call them out on the shitty writing of the last season and not having an excuse to justify their choices.
They made the interview into a joke just like the show
Should it be an interrogation? Lol get a grip B
2:05 Holy this is the best question ever.
Cast, Crew... Literally everyone but D&D awesome job! you deserve ALL the recognition and praise. D&D, buzz off. If I hear you talk about how much you're going to celebrate and get drunk (basically what you did while writing your scripts), Ima lose it! This show will age just about as great as season 8 did the first time. It was trash!!
Why was that the last question?! They should have at least be respectful and professional to the actors. I feel sad for all of them, really. They worked hard for this show, even if it wasn't a good ending for many. 😢
@@KP-hd1vv do shut up.
@@jasminedavis7236 gonna be honest KP is right D&D literally rushed season 8 just barely into qualifying for the emmies so that they can get to a new project they dont deserve to butcher star wars
The question was for D&D and not to the actors and it was their responsibility to answer them and not put actors to answer them and still hold that emmy
no one's talking about maisie at 0:53 but it was kinda fun lmao
This backstage interview was just as disappointing as the last episode of GOT 😂😂😂😂
8:10 Literally me lmao, but that was so cute
0:57 pretty sure Jorah has a crush on Khaleesi IRL!! I love Iain Glen!
I think they both do...
I cried the last night of GOTs everything was unexpected but exciting..But I am now left wanting more! Life without GOT is...sad. I do hope they come out with something more for the fans in the future.
These jokers didn't even let Emilia speak. Smfh
Someone asked her a question and they ducked away. She stayed at the back clearly not wanting to speak
she didn’t want to speak 😂
She probably didn’t want to have to say nice things on network television about these clowns.
YES
She literally ducked when her character was mentioned. She didnt want to take part in any off it - she's stood playing with hair waiting for it to be over.
8:06 😂😂
Dany and Jon ❤️
D & D are a disgrace.. Leaving Kit to answer the last question is pathetic
DB Weiss wants another excuse to leave hard questions behind and go have another hard drink at the bar i reckon! While Benioff makes excuses wanting to go to his damn yacht or claim he's way too busy to answer questions now that the show is over and done with etc's (shrugs).
Now fucking D and D decided show up eh?
