And the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series goes toPeter Dinklage!

The award marks the second time that the Game of Thrones actor has taken home the top honor—which he first one in 2011—and he was admittedly not expecting this evening's big win at all.

"I wasn't prepared at all, I was even chewing gum!" he told the crowd.

"I wasn't prepared because the other actors in my category I'm still sort of awed by their performances."

Dinklage added, "We're only as good as our writers and I'm lucky to work with the greatest writers."

The greatest writers? Well, considering the fact that just minutes prior to Dinklage winning both David Benioff and D.B. Weiss won for their writing on the hit HBO series, it looks like it.

Congratulations to all three on their big wins tonight at the 67th Annual Emmy Awards!
