The Children was the only GoT episode submitted for Emmy consideration...so don't expect to many wins unless the voters watched the whole season.

Question: I'm at a loss to understand the reasoning of submitting "The Children" for Emmy consideration for many of the actors/actresses in Game of Thrones, when by the very nature of wrapping up the season, there were such short vignettes for most of the characters. In fact, Natalie Dormer is being submitted for Supporting Actress and she is not even in "The Children." I feel that actors like Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance never give a bad performance, but I'm not sure I feel their performance in "The Children" is the best of their work this season. Can you shed some light on the strategy of submitting that one episode for all the Emmy nominees? — Ariel

Matt Roush: Welcome to the confusion that is the Emmy nominations process. "The Children" (the season finale) made news for being the only episode the show submitted for consideration in the writing category, but that doesn't apply to which episodes the various actors will submit once nominated. (I consulted with GoldDerby awards guru Tom O'Neil, who knows much more about the process than I do, and he tells me the actors' picks haven't been announced yet. And while they do make an episode declaration during the nominations process, they are allowed to change their pick once nominated, and many do switch, I'm told.) It would indeed be perverse for Natalie Dormer to submit an episode in which she doesn't appear, but that isn't what happened here. And while there's plenty of juicy material this season for Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance to choose from this season, their final scene together could easily qualify as an Emmy reel.
