The nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards marked a major milestone for HBO’s “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” but fans were disappointed by a glaring omission in the categories.this’game of ThronesThe prequel was nominated for nine Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series. It also received nominations for Outstanding Fantasy/Science Fiction Costumes, Outstanding Period or Fantasy/Science Fiction Hairstyles, Best Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series, Best Special Visual Effects for a Single Episode, Outstanding Stunt Performance, Outstanding Music Composition for a Series, Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Programming, and Outstanding Cinematography for a Series.However, the show’s cast was not nominated for acting, sparking outrage online. Many fans believe that young star Dexter Sol Ansel, who plays Egg, deserves recognition for his performance, with some calling the omission one of the biggest surprises from this year’s Emmy nominations.Months before the nominations were announced, ETimes asked Dexter and his co-star Peter Claffey about the growing awards buzz surrounding the show and the young actor in an exclusive roundtable interview. At the time, comparisons were already being made to the breakthrough of “adolescence” Owen Cooper and his impressive awards season performance.When asked if he believed “Dexter” would receive similar recognition, Peter had nothing but praise for his young co-star, saying, “Uh, yeah, 100 percent. Have you seen all the episodes? There was a point at the end of episode six that I remember watching and being like, ‘This is incredible, and an incredible performance from a kid.'”While Peter admitted it was exciting to win, he also admitted he hoped his co-stars wouldn’t focus too much on the award. Peter explained, “I hope Dexter doesn’t think about any of those things. Of course, when you get to the point of a show like this, it’s hard not to think about all those things, but… it’s a subjective art form and I think, you know, you can get wrapped up in the Emmys and the Oscars and the Golden Globes and the Baftas, as long as you enjoy the process.” If you’re proud of your performance, and if you do get nominated for something, that’s great, and you can charge them more money the next time you come. But once he’s proud of his performance, that’s it, I’m happy and I’m proud of his performance. “Dexter responded: “I don’t care. I just do it because I love it.”Meanwhile, in a social media post following the Emmy nomination, Dexter wrote in the comments: “Watching the Emmy nominations with my friends and hearing that our show was nominated for a Television Academy Award was one of the most exciting moments ever! This nomination means so much to me. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of such a talented team. Huge congratulations to our talented writers, cast and crew.” They are all legends. Thank you to everyone who made this incredible journey possible! “The second season of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is currently filming.
