Grand finale. The Game of Thrones cast gave the HBO fantasy series one last send-off at the 2019 Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 22, and they were greeted with a standing ovation.
Alfie Allen, Gwendoline Christie, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Carice van Houten, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Maisie Williams, all nominated for Emmy awards, reunited on stage to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie — the honor went to Patricia Arquette for her role in Hulu’s The Act.
The entire theater gave the award-winning ensemble cast a standing ovation when they emerged on stage.
Before presenting the award, a video montage of GoT aired.
“As much as we wish the show would have gone on forever our time had come,” Williams, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, said. “Now we have a chance to thank all of those who watched.”
Her costar Turner, who is also nominated in the same category, added: “It’s amazing how the entire last season was for us.”
Game of Thrones received a total of 32 Emmy nominations. A record 18.4 million viewers watched the final episode, which aired on May 12.
