I'm just gonna take a moment to gush over Kit because fuck...he had great moments here and there in seasons 1-3 but in season 4 he really came into his own and in season 5 he is seriously the best in the cast. And the way he talks about the show and his character in interview you can really see he gets it. Lovely guy :romance:

Kit the best in the show? He must have some outstanding performances coming up in the next few episodes. I currently wouldn't place him that high.

Kit has really evolved and is owning the Jon Snow character. Really hope he gets Emmy recognition this year.

It's the way he gets his character. Listening to him talk about Jon is a joy and he really is lovely in s4 and s5

Oh man, this could be tough:

1) Michelle Fairley - her last moments during The Rains of Castamere.
2) Nikolaj Coster-Waldau - during the bath scene.
3) Peter Dinklage - During Tyrion's trial
4) Iain Glen - The look on his face when Dany asks "and Daario Naharius?" That BROKE me.
5) Sophie Turner - when Margaery asks Sansa if she would like having her as a sister/friend. That little smile/cry was perfect.
6) Alfie Allen - Theon's speech right before he gets knocked out in Winterfell. And also the "I chose wrong" scene with Ramsay.
7) Kit Harington - The House of Black and White, he was just solid tonight.
8) Stephen Dillane - also tonight's episode. Brilliant.
9) Maisie Williams - When she stabs that man after the Red Wedding
10) Pedro Pascal - during his fight scene with The Mountain
11) Lena Heady - Joffrey's death.
12) Jack Gleeson - everything.
13) Richard Madden - when he gets naked.

I would not rate Kit's acting the best in the show (sorry). He has improved over a dreadful season 3. But I do love Kit's enthusiasm for the show and how well he does know the character. Kit sounds like a very lovely guy in real life.

So many to choose from...

Owen Teale is rarely mentioned, but his performance as Thorne is spot-on.
Liam Cunningham is the perfect Davos, no matter who he is with.
Dillane has been very good, but I think that

SPOILER: Click to show

His performance with Kerry Ingram in S5E4 was his best

Kit's had his good moments, highlights for me being when he hands Sam Longclaw and heads beyond the Wall, and his silent scene at Ygritte's funeral. And so far in S5 he has dramatically improved, especially opposite Dillane.

Iwan Rheon and Michael McElhatton are incredible, and I can't read the books without picturing them as Ramsay and Roose.
Alfie as Theon was very good in S2, and Reek in S4/5 is so different it's insane how flawless his performance is.

Sean Bean and Michelle Fairley were outstanding: my favourite moments with them include their final meeting in S1, the Red Wedding, and Ned at the council meeting with Robert.
Speaking of Robert, Mark Addy absolutely made season 1 for me. My second favourite being Harry Lloyd as Viserys.

Charles Dance: phenomenal. Nikolaj in the bath with Brienne: Phenomenal.
Lena at the end of Blackwater was really impressive, and more recently I enjoyed her humour with Nikolaj in S5: "It's a threat..."
Jerome Flynn is Bronn. There can be no other.
Pedro with Peter was one of my favourite scenes from S4

Iain Glen really shone in S4E8, shame that got kinda overshadowed by Oberyn and the Mountain

SPOILER: Click to show

I was really looking forward to more Ian McElhinney this season, but I guess that's not gonna happen

If I had to pick one performance that was better than any other, I would have to say Rory McCann in the Hound's last scene. Of course, there were other moments he was very convincing ("No fire!") but this really sold it.

I can't wait for more great performances from people like Jonathan Pryce and Alexander Siddig, I just hope they have a lot of scenes.

Wow, I'm really not as pessimistic as I thought I was..

ETA: Oh, and how could I forget about Jack Gleeson!
