The title says it all. Give the man an Emmy. I was in shock just watching the epic performance of Tyrion Lannister (well Peter Dinklage) pouring out his confession and feelings of hate for the people of kings landing. You could clearly see how the betrayal of Shae, ignited a wavering flame within him.
Even as it may sound slightly (Okay maybe quite) biased since Tyrion Lannister is one of my all time fave characters on the Game of Thrones series. You have to admit his performance in the above footage from se04ep06 was very well played that even I, deep inside could feel his growing bitter resentment for people, especially towards his father Tywin Lannister and sister Cersei.
The worst thing was the betrayal by his beloved Shae. Peter Dinklage has greatly managed to portray Tyrion Lannister as someone although being a dwarf, able to overcome the greatest of obstacles and not take heed to the constant mockery due to his dwarfism. But the effect that Shae's betrayal brought upon him was very well played by Peter. You could feel his over growing anger scream out as he looked at all those in the court room that he once saved from Stannis Baratheon, and spoke those words one by one with a tone mixed with anger, sadness and regret.
Now I know that some of you may feel that just a single speech isn't worth an Emmy. However looking back on all the scenes played by Peter I can confidently say that his acting has been quite flawless throughout each season. Some of my fave scenes would include the Wildfire plan and the journey to and back from the Vale, along side Catelyn Stark and Bronn.
yes.
