Fresh off their Emmy win for outstanding drama series, the “Game of Thrones” cast opened up about their feelings on the series finale and the backlash they had faced from fans.
On closing the show after its eight season run, actor Peter Dinklage said he’d had a tough time closing this chapter of his life. “I’ve seen a doctor about getting him out of me. The doctor said that’s hopeless,” Dinklage joked after winning the Emmy for supporting actor in a drama series. “It was 10 years of my life. A lot of us had children, a lot of us were children when we started but now we’re beautiful grown-ups like Conleth.”
“It’s not really up for us to decide what people feel about it. We hope that they watch it and like it in the future. There’s no way to tell,” showrunner D.B. Weiss said. “The landscape of television changes so quickly; it’s changing right now as we’re standing here. It’s so gratifying to have reached this many people. We hope the people who are a little bit too young will grow up to watch it as well.”
