Dinklage Sets Emmy Record
Alumni were well represented at the Emmys this year, garnering nominations and wins.
Peter Dinklage ’91 broke records at the Emmys this year when he won his fourth Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series—the first and only actor to earn the honor. In his acceptance speech, Dinklage appreciated being a member of a community that values tolerance and diversity, noting there would be few other places he “would be standing on a stage like this.” In addition to the record-breaking number of Emmys earned for playing Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, Dinklage also earned a Golden Globe award, as well as several Screen Actor Guild Award nominations. Moreover, Dinklage starred in another Emmy-nominated HBO production, My Dinner with Hervé, nominated for Best Television Movie this year.
