We’re still sorting through the fallout from Sunday’s 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, where Game of Thrones took home the statue for Outstanding Drama Series for the second year in a row. The cast members were in a good mood, and ready to tease the new year. Let’s work through some video interviews.

Access Hollywood was everywhere at the Emmys. It interviewed Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) after the awards were given out, and dragged a pretty good Season 7 tease out of her. Also, she reveals which cast members are the best dancers, which might be useful info down the line. You never know.

The highlights:

  • This video was filmed on Sunday. Turner says she’s back in Northern Ireland on Tuesday and back to work on Wednesday, which probably means she was flying on Monday. The actors didn’t get a ton of time off to party.
  • Apparently, everyone on the cast is realizing that the show is nearing a conclusion, and wistfulness is setting in. “You can really feel it coming to an end,” she said. “So everyone’s staying longer [in Belfast] than they normally do.”
  • Turner’s reaction to the Season 7 scripts: “It was just, like, so…overwhelming.” She even cried when she read them. “Not even in, like, a sad way. I was just like, ‘Holy crap. I can’t believe Game of Thrones is doing this and this is happening to the character’…It’s insane. It’s a really good season.” Promising.

Turner also gave an interview to Entertainment Tonight, where she talked about what she and Maisie Williams get up to when they hang out, dishes about her tattoo, and gives another small tease.

“Some crazy dragon stuff happens. The whole things’s amazing, and that’s all I can say.” We’ll take it.

Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) is also headed straight back to work. She talked to People about her airplane attire, which will probably be a slight step down from the cream-colored number she wore to the awards show. “Most of the time I do try and have like some [style]– and then you just get changed into your pajamas on the plane,” she admitted. “but tomorrow I don’t hold much hope.”

Entertainment Tonight caught up with Clarke as well. She was cagier with the teases, but at least flirted with the idea.

“I get eaten by a dragon. That’s what happens,” she said. Twist! “That’s not a spoiler. That’s a joke. I am lying.” Oh, okay, then.

Finally, Access Hollywood talked to Maisie Williams, who’s already made her enthusiasm for Season 7 known. Here, she keeps up the streak.

There’s some good stuff here. Go bullet points:

  • Like her castmates, Williams is all about the work ethic. This interview was filmed on Sunday. What’s her Game of Thrones shooting schedule like? “Go back tomorrow, land Tuesday, start shooting again on Wednesday. And I flew straight from work on Friday.”
  • What was her reaction to the Season 7 scripts? “Holy f******k! That was my reaction.” The hand gestures really sell it.

"It’s so exciting. But, I mean, it’s exciting because I feel like I’m kind of detached from it. From the audience’s perspective, it’s gonna be heartbreaking and, exciting, hopefully—I dunno. They might just find it heartbreaking. I feel I have quite an objective opinion on it, and I can sort of stand back and be like, ‘Yeah, this is great storytelling.’"

Way to whip us into a frenzy, Williams.
