One of the more eagerly anticipated acting races had the actor thanking his dogsitter, as well as his wife Erica Schmidt. “Wow, I followed Martin Scorsese,” Dinklage marveled, referring to the winner of the previous category. “I couldn’t do this without David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the producers, they were the first to call me and tell me about this part. HBO you’re quite simply the best place to work for you — you let artists create.”
Actual question asked of Dinklage backstage: “You just seem so perpetually cool, being badass, how do you do that?”
Dinklage had a rather humble answer: “[By] being terrified on the inside. It’s all a fake show. I feel terribly uncool.”
He was also asked about the YouTube video of him slapping another character on the show over and over again, what he thought about it. “It’s terrible,” he said. “It’s awful.”
Dinklage noted that he mentioned his dogsitter, but “not my manager or my lawyer. It might be funny or witty or not. It comes at a price.”
Stay tuned, Thrones is also up for Best Drama series (though is considered a long-shot). Full Emmy winners list.
FANTASTIC! This is so deserved.

Prick
Of course he won, he was the obvious (and deserving) winner. Still scratching my head that Ken Tucker didn’t even MENTION him in his should win/will win slideshow.
Ken Tucker is anti-midget.
so awesome–he is perfect in GoT…his speech was pretty cute too–his wife looked so happy.
Why not a thread for all the other winners. Over compensating
Overcompensating would be having a thread for all the winners! lol! Do you really want a thread for each winner of the writer and producer categories and for all the mini-series…etc? Or do you just want to “overcompensate” for the actors and actresses that you actually know?
OK
Love him. Really happy that he won.
So wonderful to see this, he imbued the character perfectly.
Why did he not thank George R R Martin? Guess we know which character will die in the next book…
Even if he does, who cares? There’s 4 more books of Dinklage!
His character is Martin’s favorite. I don’t think whether he lives or dies is going to be influenced by Peter’s speech. Especially as he’s the only cast member nominated.
So he’s going to kill him off so Dinklage only gets to spend 6 years playing the most popular character on a hit TV show? That’ll show him.
Trust me, he’s not going anywhere…
Well it was a jerk move. He just won because of Martin and he doesn’t bother thanking him. MAkes him kinda an a$$
Lighten up Francis.
I read another interview in which he said since he didn’t think he was going to win, he had no speak prepared. He also mentioned how nervous he was. I just think he forgot to mention specific people.
You haven’t read the books, have you?
Awesome job. Love him as tyrion.
He is so good as Tyrion. I wish he can slap some sense into Joffrey! Can’t Wait for season 2.
I hope he was being sarcastic with the “it’s terrible” comment! Because come on, nobody deserves it more than Joffrey.
I was thinking the same thing!
Amen! I still laugh everytime I see it!
I soooooo loved that he thanked his dog-sitter. How touching
So happy for him. He deserves it.
So happy for Peter. His portrayed Tyrion EXACTLY the way he was in the book, which is a pretty daunting task considering how beloved his character is. Really excited to see him win, well deserved.
I couldn’t be more happy for him!
Fabulous actor. Fabulous speech. He truly is The Imp, in all the finest ways. I want to be a Lannister!
LOL!!!! Me 2 Deb.. “A Lannister always pays his debts”
Winter is coming Lannister!
You’re going to die in the second book Robb. Enjoy the wedding!
Just remember you Starks and Lannisters
“Ours is the Fury”
And without us, you got nothing! Well other then gold and direwolfs pfft
All I could think was,”Tyrion’s best stuff is NEXT season!” Next year will be very interesting.
Tyrion is arguably the main character in season 2, so it would be funny if he gets nominated next year has “best actor in a drama series”.
Yes, I want to know how they are going to address Tyrion not having half his nose, makeup-wise.
So deserved. Absolutely loved his portrayal. So glad he won.
