    Give her a fucking Emmy and a Golden Globe for Christ's sake. She's probably the greatest actress on television in the last decade. She has the most memorable and dynamic performance of anyone in the cast. Her (and Nikolaj too!) really deserve to be remembered as such, and awarded for it.

    Nobody ever mentions that she played Queen Gorgo in 300. I know it's not the biggest role ever but you gotta admit she did very well AND that was a time when Gerard Butler was really on a mission. For her to play his lover i thought was genius. Even her performance as Lady Catherine in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was overlooked

    Lena Headey is a really great actor, and her portrayal of Cersei will always be remembered. Definitely better than many, many Academy and Emmy award winning performances. In reality, she reminds me a bit of the character - an actor - who performed in a few GOT episodes - the one Arya had been tasked with poisoning, but chose not to.

    super cool super talented actress. She can be a firm protagonist like her version of Sarah Connor, then go to being head of a drug haven syndicate in Dredd. and top it all off with one of the most infamous villains of all time Cersei Lannister. Bless this Woman! She will likely be up for an Academy Award some day.

    Fun Fact: the pilot episode of "Game Of Thrones" that made it to broadcast on HBO (and is now in the DVD sets) was like 85% re-shot. The original is apparently so god awful D&D say they will always do their best to make sure it's never seen by anyone. Now in comparison to something like BBC's "Sherlock", it was similar in that the original pilot version wasn't very good at all, though in all fairness at the time they thought they'd be making six different 60 minute episodes for the season, instead of three different 90 minute episodes, so it required pretty much a totally different approach. But even with how 'not great' that original Sherlock pilot was, you can still watch the whole thing as a season 1 DVD extra.
