Peter Dinklage Gossip

When we were prepping for coverage last week ahead of the Emmys, one of the possible conversation points was how it would be without a host. The Oscars didn’t have a host. The Emmys have gone host-less before, and they addressed it off the top in a bit that started with Homer Simpson, got picked up by Anthony Anderson, and led eventually to Bryan Cranston who, I think, they’ve now declared to be like the Jack Nicholson of TV? Later on, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel joked about it when they got up to present but, overall, I don’t think it was an issue? I wasn’t thinking about the hosting or missing the hosting. Full Story

(For previous posts in our Best of Game of Thrones countdown, please visit the GoT main page here.)   “I’m sorry it has to be this way.” “Why are you sorry? Because you’re an evil bastard with no heart? That’s what I liked about you in the first place. Full Story

I dug the teaser for I Think We’re Alone Now, Reed Morano’s film starring Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning. We now have a full trailer, and I still dig it. In fact, the trailer plays so well as its own thing it almost works as a short film. Do I need to see a feature length version of this? I mean, yes, because Dinklage and Fanning and the apocalypse, but this is such a well cut trailer, containing its own little story. Full Story

After working as a cinematographer, Reed Morano made her directorial debut with 2015’s Meadowland. Following that film, she went to work in television, directing episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale—for which she won an Emmy—and working as one of the cinematographers on Beyoncé’s Lemonade. Full Story

This definitely counts as a celebrity romance update. And sort of a royal update? Jon Snow aka Kit Harington is King in the North and, with his now revealed birthright, has a claim to the Iron Throne. He’s marrying Rose Leslie tomorrow in Scotland. At a castle. Her family has owned the castle for 900 years. Full Story

If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t like to know anything about Game of Thrones while it’s filming, then this post is not for you. There are set photos, they’re not especially spoilery but they do show people standing together in ways suggestive of Important Things Happening, so if you’re spoiler-sensitive, bow out now. Full Story

Less than two weeks now. 13 days until Game Of Thrones is back! It’s 10 weeks of joy followed by 10 f-cking months of question marks and lying. Last night was the premiere in Hollywood. You know who showed up? Faye Dunaway Full Story

Peter Dinklage won his second Emmy for portraying Tyrion Lannister last night, a win that encapsulates my problem with the Emmys—oh yeah, I have a problem with the Emmys. My problem is this: The same shows win every year. And once something starts winning, it tends to turn into a juggernaut and win every year for a whole bunch of years regardless of whether or not it’s actually still the best thing on TV. Full Story

So I’m taking over recapping duties for Games of Thrones this season as Duana is focusing on Mad Men’s final season. I came a little late to the Thrones party but my positions are the following: I don’t have a favorite house because I’m convinced everyone is going to die; Jon Snow is The Worst; I’m here for the Tyrion and Varys Travelling Road Show; I want to be Brienne of Tarth when I grow up; Arya Stark is my spirit animal; direwolves make the best pets; R + L = J; SANSA FINALLY; f*ck the Lannisters, except for Tyrion, he’s cool; The North remembers; I wish the Khaleesi would DO SOMETHING but I appreciate that she is learning about governance from the ground up; I haven’t read the books but it doesn’t matter because this is a TV show and it should work on its own; I have read the Wiki Full Story

On paper, I should be all over Pixels. It’s a space invasion movie but the aliens are video game characters, it stars Peter Dinklage with a rocking mullet, and that “Pac-Man is a bad guy?” joke is great. But the first trailer is here and I can’t get into it. Yes, Dinklage (and his mullet) is present, but so is Adam Sandler. Full Story
