00:00This is a wonderful tuxedo.

00:02It's very golden, yes.

00:04I think it looks great.

00:06It looks great.

00:07It's a big night for you.

00:08It's a big night for the show.

00:09I hear that you guys are joining together for this onstage moment.

00:13What can you tell me about that?

00:14Well, I think we're presenting an award together, which is going to be...

00:18We haven't rehearsed it, so I can only imagine how that's going to go down.

00:22But, no, it'll be fun.

00:25I mean, there's no host, right?

00:27No one to control the shenanigans, so that's good.

00:32Yeah, they're taking a page out of the Oscar book and no host.

00:35Is there somebody you would have loved to see as a host?

00:38I think, could we have Eddie Murphy?

00:43Any show, anything?

00:46Just get him back?

00:48Yeah.

00:48Also, it's got to be a bittersweet weekend for you guys to come back.

00:52It's sweet.

00:53There's no bitterness.

00:54I mean, we're kind of going out in style.

00:58It's been recognized by the Academy with how many nominations?

01:02I don't know.

01:03A lot.

01:03It's amazing.

01:04So, it's all sweet.

01:06And the truth is that the story had run its course.

01:11It was time to move on.

01:13And it's not like there's a lack of great shows out there.

01:17No, there's not.

01:17And especially for talented people such as yourself,

01:19can you tell me what life has been like post-Game of Thrones for you?

01:23It's been busy.

01:24I've been working a lot.

01:26A little too much.

01:27But I've done a documentary series.

01:29I've done three films.

01:30I've done a pilot for FX.

01:33So, yeah.

01:34I read about that.

01:35And how did it go?

01:36It was great.

01:37It was so much fun.

01:38Yeah.

01:38It was set in 1980.

01:41Set here in Hollywood.

01:42Very different from Game of Thrones.

01:44And is that a coincidence or is that something you go to your agents with and say,

01:48No, no.

01:48This was, I did not want to, I wasn't planning on doing another television show,

01:53but I read this script by Ted Griffin and it was just so good.

01:56And I thought, I gotta do this.

01:58This is fun.

01:59So, fingers crossed.

02:01We'll go.

02:02Who knows?

02:02And at the end of the night, do you end up with all your Game of Thrones friends?

02:06I hope so, yeah.

02:08Go enjoy yourself.

02:09Nice to meet you.

02:10Nice to meet you.
