Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage made Emmy History with his fourth win for best supporting actor in a drama.
The 50-year-old actor won all accolades for his portrayal as Tyrion Lannister, the youngest Lannister sibling. Tyrion is a much loved TV character for his wit and charm.
It was a role that earned him nomination in each of the show’s eight seasons. Dinklage’s previous awards came in 2011, 2015 and 2018. In 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016, he lost twice to Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”), once to Bobby Cannavale (“Boardwalk Empire”) and once to Ben Mendelsohn (“Bloodline”). “Thrones” didn’t air in 2018.
Other actors who have three Emmy awards each for supporting actor in a drama are Paul, Art Carney for “The Jackie Gleason Show” and Don Knotts for “The Andy Griffith Show.”
In 2012, Dinklage took home a Golden Globe award in the category of best supporting role in a series, mini series or motion picture made for television for GOT’s first season.
