‘House of the Dragon’ Fans Call for Paddy Considine Emmy Win After Last Night's Carnage
The Emmys were just last month, but House of the Dragon fans have wasted no time in selecting a new champion for the 2023 edition. Fans of the series rallied for Paddy Considine all over Twitter last night, celebrating his tour-de-force performance in one of the series' most consequential episodes to date.
It’s been a long, winding road for King Viserys (Considine), who has been battling leprosy for the last few episodes while also managing, you know, the Seven Kingdoms. Episode 8 really emphasized Viserys’ struggle, and fans were thoroughly impressed by the king’s rapid decay into something completely and totally decrepit.
“Paddy Considine, you deserve an Emmy for your portrayal of King Viserys,” one viewer declared. “I had to pause tonight’s episode because I couldn’t see through my tears.”
