Lena Headey Talks Game of Thrones, Fighting with My Family & More w/Rich Eisen | Full Interview

[@hessu275]

It's pretty outrageous that Lena doesn't have a single Emmy or a Golden Globe for playing Cersei from any of the seasons of GOT

[@thedynastycontinues945]

I wonder if Jack Gleeson ever won one for his incredible performances

[@elizabitty213]

Yeah she kept getting snubbed along with game of thrones for Veep and Modern Family smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@MrTrick.]

If she doesn't win this season, we choose violence and riot.

[@nancybruno7351]

Blame Mr. Weinstein.

[@eiregonzo97]

I love how natural Lena looks. She doesn't cake herself in makeup and fake tan, she's more than that. Her style is fantastic.

[@alixvhessen]

here she looks like some botox!

[@SuzannaKiraly]

Rare to see an actress with no makeup on a show.

[@bensonen6855]

Naturally hot

[@tsxtina2919]

This woman DESERVES an Emmy!!!!

[@TheAnthraxBiology]

Give her a fucking Emmy and a Golden Globe for Christ's sake. She's probably the greatest actress on television in the last decade. She has the most memorable and dynamic performance of anyone in the cast. Her (and Nikolaj too!) really deserve to be remembered as such, and awarded for it.

[@chadlamoureux1349]

Lena is so down to earth and real. I love her passion

[@briancromartie3149]

I knew she wouldn't, because Michelle Fairley didnt for Catelynn during red wedding

[@robertwilson3866]

True but who cares? If I won an Emmy I would throw it in the trash. Winners don't need validation

[@80lemon80]

Personally I think she was hands down the MVP of game of thrones. My favorite character, actor, and storyline by far

[@trentonbaratheon6722]

Nobody ever mentions that she played Queen Gorgo in 300. I know it's not the biggest role ever but you gotta admit she did very well AND that was a time when Gerard Butler was really on a mission. For her to play his lover i thought was genius. Even her performance as Lady Catherine in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was overlooked

[@littlechic0510]

Sara Connor

[@ZeitdiebX]

Trenton Buford You’re forgetting her portrayal of the ( pretty early on ) murder victim Elise Moran in the second MacGyver feature film ‘Trail to doomsday’...

The interviewer starting out with I'M A BIG FAN. That's a BIG MOOD. I love Lena Headey!!

[@allan2765]

Lena Headey is a really great actor, and her portrayal of Cersei will always be remembered. Definitely better than many, many Academy and Emmy award winning performances. In reality, she reminds me a bit of the character - an actor - who performed in a few GOT episodes - the one Arya had been tasked with poisoning, but chose not to.

[@sbroggie]

I fell in love with Lena as Sarah Connor. Sarah Connor Chronicles was a great show.

[@topesjeebal8760]

I see you too, are a man of culture!

[@thecakeisalie8135]

I've seen so many movies with Lena by coincidence and I've always been blown away by her performances. she's one of the smartest and most talented actors out there. flawless and creative

[@Original-Juice]

super cool super talented actress. She can be a firm protagonist like her version of Sarah Connor, then go to being head of a drug haven syndicate in Dredd. and top it all off with one of the most infamous villains of all time Cersei Lannister. Bless this Woman! She will likely be up for an Academy Award some day.

[@kcviking2449]

Don't forget her work in 300.

I was so pissed when SCC got cancelled but the one good thing that came out of it was allowing Lena to be Cersei.

[@laurenlegato7506]

She's such a good actress you don't even realize she's acting...this is why she hasn't won. SILLY!!!

[@IIIlllBravo]

So what you’re saying is that the emmy folks believe that that’s how she really is

[@felinefeelings__]

IIIlllBravo no, I’m saying that her character is so effortless that it may not stand out as acting. Peter Dinklage gets credit for being an incredible actor (and he is) but there are far better actors on the show who’ve had to convince us of way more difficult emotions

Fun Fact: the pilot episode of "Game Of Thrones" that made it to broadcast on HBO (and is now in the DVD sets) was like 85% re-shot. The original is apparently so god awful D&D say they will always do their best to make sure it's never seen by anyone. Now in comparison to something like BBC's "Sherlock", it was similar in that the original pilot version wasn't very good at all, though in all fairness at the time they thought they'd be making six different 60 minute episodes for the season, instead of three different 90 minute episodes, so it required pretty much a totally different approach. But even with how 'not great' that original Sherlock pilot was, you can still watch the whole thing as a season 1 DVD extra.
