  ===Recognition and awards===
  Peter Dinklage is the series's most successful cast member in terms of awards, having won 7 awards and received 37 additional nominations
  Dinklage's performance was praised; ''The Boston Globe'' called his Tyrion one of the show's "highlights", adding that Dinklage "gives a winning performance that is charming, morally ambiguous, and self-aware." Matt Roush of ''TV Guide'' told viewers to "rejoice in the scene-stealing bravado of Peter Dinklage as the wry 'imp' Tyrion Lannister." The ''Los Angeles Times'' wrote "In many ways, ''Game of Thrones'' belongs to Dinklage" even before, in Season 2, the "scene-stealing actor's" character became the series' most central figure. ''The New York Times'' noted that as beloved as the character of Tyrion is to the novels' fans, "Dinklage's sly performance has made Tyrion all the more popular." ''The Huffington Post'' called Tyrion the "most quotable" character on the HBO series, as well as one of the most beloved.
  In April 2011 both the ''Los Angeles Times'' and ''Entertainment Weekly'' pronounced Dinklage worthy of an Emmy Award for his performance in Season 1. He subsequently received one for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, as well as a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries, or Television Film. He also earned a Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film and a Scream Award for Best Supporting Actor for Season 1 of ''Game of Thrones''. Dinklage won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor again in 2015, and 2018.
  Dinklage has been nominated for the Emmy four other times for playing Tyrion, in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016. He has received several other award nominations for his performance in the series, including the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2012 and 2016; the Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film in 2012, 2015, and 2016; the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017; the TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Drama in 2011 and 2012; and in 2011 both the IGN Award and the IGN People's Choice Award for Best TV Actor.
