I'm loving that Peter Dinklage now has an Emmy

Me, too! He's the best thing about GOT (then again, he's nearly always the best thing in anything he's in).

EDIT: Just watched his acceptance speech on Youtube. I had no idea he wasn't British (or at least that he normally speaks with an American accent).

I've not seen it yet (when's the DVD out?) but I love his work in general, looking forward to this:
