HBO Sends House Of The Dragons Leads For Award Nominations
Paddy Considine as King Viserys and Milly Alcock as the young Princess Rhaenyra
HBO Max’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon has been a ratings juggernaut for the streamer. The show’s first season ran from August 21 to October 23 and dominated social media conversation with its high production value, great writing, and of course, dragon. It’s an asset that HBO wants to use to win awards to go along with the massive viewership numbers. And they did their best for that.
According to Gold Derby, HBO has submitted Paddy Considine and Emma D’Arcy for Lead Actor and Lead Actress consideration in the upcoming awards season.
Paddy Considine plays King Viserys I Targaryen and Emma D’Arcy plays adult princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. HBO’s decision to send these two actors to the lead actor and actress category is understandable since the show’s major drama centers around the king naming his daughter, Rhaenyra, as his heiress rather than his son. it will be later.
Other actors sent for nominations
Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower and Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower
Game of Thrones racked up awards galore during its run, and HBO is surely looking to repeat the same magic with House of the Dragon. So, along with Paddy Considine and Emma D’Arcy, they sent in other actor names for award nominations.
The streamer sent the names of Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole, Matthew Needham as Lord Larys Strong, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon and Matt Smith as Demon Targaryen in the supporting role category.
