The ninth and penultimate episode of "Game of Thrones" Season 6 is up this Sunday and the loyal viewers of this HBO TV series is preparing for whatever outcome the approaching "Battle of the Bastards" will bring. Before that happens, Liam Cunningham teases Episode 9 expectation by saying Kit Harrington should get an award the forthcoming scenes.
The members of cast of HBO's "Game of Thrones" are already known for being very keen with what they can reveal or not about the future episodes of the show. Liam Cunningham, who plays Onion Knight Davos Seaworth, revealed some noteworthy scoop with The Hollywood Reporter.
First off, he said that the upcoming episode was one of the most expensive ever made for television. He said, "HBO threw everything including the kitchen sink at it." In addition, he commended the hundreds of extras that the show hired saying that they were sensationally the best squad.
However, the bottom line was that the 55-year-old actor has the utmost of praise for Kit Harington who plays the bastard Jon Snow in the series. Cunningham has also expressed confidence that Harrington will get an award for his work on "Battle of the Bastards."
"I would be very, very surprised if Mr. Harington isn't taking up a statue at the end of this," Cunningham said. Then he adds that he had seen how Harrington transitioned from a young man into a really good actor for the role. And as for Harrington's work on "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Cunningham said, "It's going to be jaw-dropping."
Meanwhile, an article on TIME suggests that Davos Seaworth has a 60 percent likelihood of dying in the impending Battle. One of the promo pictures released by HBO shows the Onion Knight standing sadly before what is most probably Shireen's memorial pyre, an even that might throw him off balance in the subsequent war.
On the other hand, it could also mean that he is more determined than ever to survive the battle so he could take revenge on Melisandre for the death of whoever is in the presumed lifeless in the pyre
So far, Liam Cunningham's praises for Harrington's work on the upcoming episode did not exactly give away which bastard wins the battle neither did he offer any clue on whether or not his onscreen character would survive this Sunday.
