Plenty of Game of Thrones cast members were in Los Angeles last night for the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, and while the show only took home one of the three awards for which it was nominated, the actors looked smashing on the red carpet, and plenty stopped to do interviews. Let’s have a watch.
Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Maisie Williams (Arya) answered more questions about what she expects life to be like after Game of Thrones, saying she’s equal parts scared and excited. “I’m just trying to do the last few scenes that I have justice. I’m just trying to shape Arya the way that I have been so far and give her a nice arc to end with and hope that people are happy with it.” Well, that sounds like someone who’s going to live to see Season 8, at least.
Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) was also on hand, and had a fun interview with Angela Bishop of Studio 10.

A couple of talking points:
- The production is “almost finished” shooting Season 7.
- Cunningham hasn’t read the Song of Ice and Fire novels, and says that George R.R. Martin occasionally teases him about it by demanding “a full report.” I hope that’s not a joke.
- Now that the show is beyond the books, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have “a bit more artistic freedom” with how they craft the story.
Gwendoline Christie was very forthcoming about what’s happening in Season 7—it’s all about what cars the characters drive.
And yes, that jumpsuit is amazing.
Moving on to members of Team Daenerys, Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) waxes euphoric to Variety about working on what is, so as she’s concerned, the coolest show in the world…

…and Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) says what he can about what to expect from Season 7. Obviously, that’s not a lot, but he does say that it’s “a very exciting season” and that there’ll be “a lot of unexpected turns.”

Finally, here’s a video of a hilarious moment where Sophie Turner is eating her meal, realizes she’s on camera and gets embarrassed while Maisie Williams laughs.
Happy SAGs.
