Peter Dinklage has ended his reign on Game Of Thrones on a high by setting the record for most number of Supporting Actor wins for his role as Tyrion Lannister.

The actor picked up the gong last night at the annual swanky awards bash for the second year in a row, and fourth time overall for the same part.

In his win, he beat his fellow Game Of Thrones stars Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), as well as Better Call Saul’s Jonathan Banks and Giancarlo Esposito, Michael Kelly from House Of Cards, and Chris Sullivan from This Is Us.

In his acceptance speech, Peter thanked the ‘talented motherf***ers’ that helped shape the show, admitting he had ‘no idea what he was getting himself into’ but he would ‘do it again in a heartbeat’.

He broke the no-swearing rule at the ceremony as he told the audience: ‘10 years of absolute sweat, but 10 years of the most incredible, talented, funniest motherf***ers.

Knowing he would then get in trouble, he shrugged it off and declared: ‘Hey, it’s over. I don’t care!’

‘We did nothing but sweat, we did nothing but laugh. Dave [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss], we’d literally walk through fire and ice for you,’ Peter continued.

‘I would do it all again in a heartbeat.’

Game Of Thrones also picked up Outstanding Drama Series at the event, winning 12 Emmys overall this year for the last season of the fantasy epic.

Sophie Turner, who enjoyed a cute reunion with Kit Harington inside the Microsoft Theatre in LA, was also nominated for her supporting role, as well as Maisie Williams.

The show took home 10 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys last week, including a gong for Outstanding Special Visual Effects, Outstanding Main Title Design and Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series.

Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke were both nominated for the lead actor/actress gongs respectively as well, but missed out.

In a final goodbye to the series, Dave Benioff, one of the showrunners on the series, said: ‘These last 10 years have been the best years of our lives and for everyone who worked on it, I can’t believe we finished it — and I can’t believe we did it.

‘We did it all together and it’s over and we shall never see your like again.’

Game Of Thrones is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
