Winter is coming which means so are the Emmy Awards 2019 – the final curtain call for the cast of Game of Thrones who will be reuniting to wave the fantasy epic off in style at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre.
Naturally, then they’ll all be plucked, waxed and whatever else those Hollywood folk get up to this week as they grace one of the most prestigious red carpets going.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, however, has gone for a less conventional approach which we’re not sure will catch on.
The Jaime Lannister star shared a picture of himself getting Emmys ready, with his face pulled back by a swimming mask and two arms holding a tray squeezing his nose together in what we can only imagine is the hottest new trend in King’s Landing. Or was, until it burned down.
Some fans thought he was ‘slaying’ others thought the 49-year-old looked like ex-husband of Britney Spears, Kevin Federline. We think whatever Nikolaj is doing, it’s clearly working out.
It’s a big night for Game of Thrones this Sunday after the HBO series picked up a record-breaking 32 Emmy nominations and has already won 10.
In turn, it’s a safe bet that there will be plenty of trophies heading their way with almost all of the cast up for individual gongs – even if some had to submit themselves after being overlooked by their own bosses.
Game of Thrones famously bowed out on a bad note with fans, who slammed the finale so hard a petition amassed almost 2 million signatures demanding the entire season eight was rewritten.
Addressing the backlash, Nikolaj stepped up at San Diego Comic-Con to defend writers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, only for fans to reportedly ‘boo’ him.
Game of Thrones seasons one to eight are available to stream on NOW TV. The Emmy Awards take place this Sunday at The Microsoft Theatre, Los Angeles.
