Warning: Spoilers for Game Of Thrones season eight.
Game Of Thrones are calling for actor Peter Dinklage to get every acting award under the sun for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in season eight.
Dinklage’s acting has always been off the scale across all eight seasons, but his strong performance in the last ever episode seriously impressed viewers.
Episode six of season eight, The Iron Throne, saw Tyrion imprisoned by Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) for treason. In one of his standout scenes, he urged Jon Snow (Kit Harington) to get rid of Daenerys once and for all as he felt she had become dangerous.
The second highlight for Tyrion came after Jon killed Daenerys and the heads of the Westeros houses came together to choose a new leader.
Making the case for Bran Stark (Issac Hempstead Wright), Tyrion stressed the importance of story-telling and added that Bran not being able to have children would be a benefit.
In the end Tyrion was made Hand of the king and would serve under Bran.
As the last ever episode went out fans on Twitter heaped praise on Dinklage for his acting in the finale.
The finale turned out to be extremely divisive with many complaining about Daenerys’ sudden shift from hero to villain.
Earlier episodes in the season have also sparked ferocious backlash, with a petition calling for season eight to be remade fetching over one million signatures and counting.
Creator Dylan D explained on the Change.org page: ‘I made this petition some few days after Episode 4, “The Last of the Starks”, aired. I was just so disappointed and angry. It was simply me venting a bit,’ he wrote.
‘I don’t think people can reasonably expect HBO to completely remake the season, or any part of this particular series (keep in mind the prequel spinoffs).
‘It costs a fortune to shoot one episode, and I think most signers understand that. Will HBO lose gobs of money over this? Eh probably not. As Heath Ledger’s Joker once said, “It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message”.’
Game Of Thrones is available to stream on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
