Game of Thrones may be over, but that won’t stop fans from binging it all over again. This year at the Deauville Film Festival in France, that’s exactly what happened. Over the course of 70 hours, hardcore fans sat and watched the entire series.
Some fans powered through all 70 hours, while others just came to see their favorite episodes. I think if it was me, I’d drop by for the favorites, but kudos to those who were able to get through the whole thing. Who needs sleep, really?
The screening was held in honor of Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), who was on hand to receive the Deauville Hollywood Rising Star Award. She walked the red carpet on the festival’s second day (the whole thing will run through September 15), looking fabulous as ever. But we’re not surprised, are we?
Based on the video above, I’m not sure if Turner physically stopped by the screening to greet fans, but she did sit down for an interview and recalled the first time she ever met a fan: at a pub in London when she was 13.
Wait, 13? I’ll assume she was there with her parents and sticking to soda.
Congratulations to Turner for the award, and props again to those who watched the entirety of Game of Thrones straight through! You guys are the real MVPs.
