Game of Thrones final season aired earlier this year and even though it was criticised heavily, the show has managed to make some noise at the awards. Game Of Thrones was recently nominated at the 2020 SAG (Screen Actors’ Guild Awards) in three different categories. Immediately after the nominations were announced, the stars of the show decided to celebrate them. Read on!

We all know that the final season of the show didn’t live up to the expectations of fans and critics alike. That also reflected in the number of the nominations the show received at various awards as well. Hence, when the show recently found some appreciation at the Critics’ Choice Awards and at SAG awards, the cast heaved a sigh of relief and took on Instagram to show their gratitude.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau who played the role of Jaime Lannister on the show posted a picture with the likes of Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, Conleth Hill, Rory McCann on Instagram. Nikolaj wrote, “Thank you SAG for the best ensemble nomination. One final HOOOORRRAAAAAYYY.”

We all know how close the entire cast and crew of Game of Thrones are to each other. This was another display of their affection towards the show.

Game Of Thrones has received 3 nominations, with Peter Dinklage being the only cast member to be nominated. The 26th annual SAG awards will take place on Sunday, January 19, 2020, and will be televised on TNT and TBS beginning at 8PM ET from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Game of Thrones remains the most successful show to have ever filmed on television. It set the bar for television filming really high, with record viewership and budget. The fantasy series still holds the record for the most number of Emmy Awards won. The cast of the show has won a host of awards as well. Michelle Fairley, who played the brave Lady Catelyn Stark, won an award for her outstanding contribution to the broadcast industry.

Michelle won the coveted Brian Waddell Award at a virtual Royal Television Society Northern Ireland (RTS NI) awards ceremony hosted by Patrick Kielty. “I am so incredibly thankful and honoured to receive this award for outstanding contribution,” she said.

“I feel very lucky to have been given some fantastic opportunities throughout my career. And believe that my “outstanding contribution” really is just that; a contribution to fantastic productions and wonderful creative teams.”

She added, “We would be nothing in this industry without our collaborators. I m truly blessed to work alongside some of the best. Long may it continue.” 

Vikkie Taggart, Chairman of RTS NI praised the actress, “It is a real pleasure to celebrate the incredible talent of Michelle Fairley. She has won the hearts of audiences worldwide. In a glittering career spanning more than 30 years with her many accomplished performances.

Congratulations to all our winners and nominees this year. They represent the best of the bright talent in Northern Ireland.”

Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham who played the character of Davos Seaworth in the show has won the inaugural Human Rights Award. It was an important win for the actor and something which he is going to cherish for a long time. Read on.

As per Nova, Cunningham was recently bestowed upon by the award by Syrian refugee Husam Alhraki for his campaigning work on the rights of migrants and refugees. On receiving the award Cunningham felt honored and asked Europe to do more for the refugees. He said:

“It’s an honor for me to receive this award from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, who have been working to make Ireland a freer and better country for almost half a century.
And it comes at a really important moment when Europe is literally allowing refugees to die on our borders. We need to stand up against this, to assert that Europe and Ireland we want to live in are places that offer refuge to people who need our help.”

In another interview recently, he was particularly vocal against the governments for not doing enough for this crisis. He said:

“It’s an ugly, filthy look on our government not to take care of business … we’re not doing as much as we should be doing and as much as we said we would. It’s terrible.”

Cunningham has emerged as a champion of human rights in Ireland and it is so good to see an actor stand up for a real cause.
