Kit Harington In Game Of Thrones (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Game of Thrones had plenty of onscreen stabs and cuts. However, turns out, some of the real bruises happened far from the battlefield. Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow, got caught in an odd off-screen horror when he wounded himself, not during a combat scene in Got, but while trying to get back into his own apartment. Meanwhile, his co-star Rory McCann, who played The Hound, had a far more terrifying close call years earlier. While both actors dealt with physical pain, one had production tweaks made for him, and the other just kept climbing. Both, though, carried their injuries into Westeros like pros.

Rory McCann’s Cliff Accident Was Way More Dangerous

Back when Game of Thrones was still in full swing, Kit Harington had a mishap that had nothing to do with camera stunts or sword duels in Game of Thrones.

Fancy some regal Westerosi armor hanging up in your house? Want to wear it to a battle reenactment? Well, now you can! So long as you're prepared to pay out a small fortune.

Heritage Auctions has Stannis Baratheon's iconic armor, as worn by Stephen Dillane, up for sale. This specific fit was worn during the season 2 premiere "The North Remembers," when Stannis self-proclaims himself the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and vows to take King's Landing by any means necessary. This proclamation ultimately leads to the epic Battle of Blackwater later in the season.

According to the listing, the full attire up for sale includes a leather cassock with chainmail and metal-plated overlay; a pair of brown moleskin trousers; a leather belt with attached scabbard and attached dagger sheath; an action sword measuring 41" x 9", studio-crafted of high-density rubber, brass pommel and snakeskin handle; and an action dagger measuring 15.5" x 2", studio-crafted from high-density rubber.

We all know how a superhero costume should look in a movie courtesy of Edna Mode: Bold, dramatic, heroic!

But “The Franchise” shows us just how much it takes to get a costume looking right because the on-set suits that both Tecto (Billy Magnussen as Adam) and Eye (Richard E. Grant as Peter) wear — when they’re not sniping at each other in puffy coats, of course — look foamy, fake, and just a little bit wrong. Series costume designers Michele Clapton and Sinéad Kidao turn their very sharp eyes to both the in-universe film the characters are trying to make and the ecosystem of film sets and the fashion choices of various departments.

Sometimes, you just don't get things right the first time around. The showrunners of "Game of Thrones," Dan Benioff and D.B. Weiss, know this better than most; the first pilot they shot for HBO's hit series apparently really, really stunk, leading to a reshoot that cost the premium network $10 million.

In James Hibberd's oral history of the series, titled "Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon," the journalist spoke to basically everybody involved with that disastrous first pilot, from Benioff and Weiss themselves to the episode's actors to series author George R.R. Martin. So, what happened here? Apparently, the original "Game of Thrones" pilot shoot was plagued with problems ranging from a rogue horse to weird costumes, the story didn't come across clearly to anybody who watched it, and on top of all of that,...

Harington, who was involved in many intense action scenes with his pivotal character of Jon Snow, ironically endured one major accident outside of the show that impacted his role. But there was one more star who was even more accident prone, judging by the many injuries that he had over the years.

Played by Kit Harington, Jon Snow quickly became a fan-favorite character as quickly as he stepped into Game of Thrones. Also known as ‘The Bastard of Winterfell,’ he was the ultimate underdog in a world where lineage is everything. No wonder he had fans rooting for him left and right. And while those around him might say that he knows nothing, Jon Snow often knows exactly what matters most—courage, loyalty, and doing what’s right, even when it’s the hardest path to take.

The actor’s injury ended up causing a bit of trouble to the studio which had to deploy a body double for his scenes.

Rochelle Neil is recounting her audition for “The Nevers,” HBO’s new hourlong fantasy series set in a steampunk Victorian London in the aftermath of a mysterious citywide communal vision that leaves some of the populace with superpowers.

“She’s got a priest tied up, and she’s torturing him and throwing fire,” Neil said. “She’s sort of going on this spiel about her childhood, and what happened to her by this priest in this ministry. And she ends up burning an effigy of the baby Jesus. I have no idea what side of my personality I seemed to have showed for [the producers] to go: ‘She’s really good at torturing!’”

As “Bonfire” Annie Carbey, Neil plays one of “The Touched” — those who, after the mass (maybe?) hallucination (maybe?), attain abilities not generally in the human playbook. Conveniently, if one needs a person, place, or thing torched quickly and efficiently,...

20th Century may have pushed the opening of the “The King’s Man” to February, but that’s not stopping Mr Porter from releasing its latest Kingsman collection.

Some pieces of the men’s luxury brand hit the fashion site today with the remainder going on sale when the film hits theaters in February.

Mr Porter launched the Kingsman brand in conjunction with the first movie, 2015’s “Kingsman: The Secret Service.” Since then, Mr Porter has created another 12 separate Kingsman collections in collaboration with several legacy men’s brands.

“Historically, movie or no movie, we always release a Kingsman collection in September,” Mr Porter buying director Sam Kershaw tells Variety. “So that’s very business as usual for us.

While Disney is shifting The King’s Man — the prequel in the Matthew Vaughn spy series — from Sept. 18 to Feb. 26, a high-end clothing collaboration with Mr Porter will still debut (mostly) as planned. Part of the collection debuts Sept. 9, with an edited selection now held back to coincide with the film’s 2021 release.

Co-created with The King’s Man’s costume designer Michele Clapton — a six-time Emmy Award winner (Game of Thrones, The Crown) — the 170-piece collection is the third film-to-retail collaboration with Mr Porter and the 12th season of what has become a standalone Kingsman brand on the ...

Each year, the BAFTA TV Craft Awards recognize the behind-the-scenes production talent like writers, editors and costume designers behind the year’s hit shows. In an unprecedented era where the coronavirus pandemic has led to a global lockdown and the cancellation of events, the British Academy Television Craft Awards will go ahead on Friday as a digital-only ceremony, hosted by Stephen Mangan from a socially-distanced studio.

Ahead of the awards show, Variety talked to the nominated costume designers: Caroline McCall (BBC One’s “His Dark Materials”), Michele Clapton (Sky Atlantic/HBO’s “Game of Thrones”) and Odile Dicks-Mireaux (Sky Atlantic/HBO’s “Chernobyl”).

Last night, the Costume Designers Guild had their say in the Oscar race. The 22nd annual Cdg Awards were held and with only two of the five Academy Award nominees in the running here, all eyes were on this group to see if that might tell us anything. Well, that might just have happened, but not necessarily in the way that we were expecting. Did the race zig instead of zag? Read on for more to find out… The complete Costume Designers Guild Awards results are next, but the notable outcome (or at least the most notable outcome) was that in Excellence in Period Film, Jojo Rabbit and costumer designer Mayes C.

The Costume Designers Guild handed out its trophies for the 22nd annual Cdg Awards with “Jojo Rabbit” and “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” receiving top honors among the costumers.

In the TV category, the hit “The Masked Singer” and designer Marina Toybina beat out reigning designer Zaldy (“RuPaul’s Drag Race”) for excellence in variety, reality-competition, live television.

Mindy Kaling hosted the evening, which celebrated special honorees Charlize Theron, Mary Ellen Fields, Michael Kaplan and Adam McKay.

Catherine O’Hara accepted the award on behalf of “Schitt’s Creek” winner Debra Hanson. O’Hara said during the Getty Fires she had three minutes to save her prized possessions. “I had three minutes to evacuate,” she said. “I grabbed my passport, photos of my two sons and my character’s clothes.”

“Jojo Rabbit,” “Knives Out” and “Malificent: Mistress of Evil” have been named the best-dressed films of 2019 by the Costume Designers Guild, which handed out its annual awards on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

“Jojo Rabbit” won in the Excellence in Period Film category, “Maleficent” in the Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film category and “Knives Out” in the Excellence in Contemporary Film category.

Of this year’s winners, only “Jojo Rabbit” is nominated for Oscars in the Best Costume Design category. “Knives Out” and “Malificent” are not, with the Academy’s Costume Designers Branch this year only nominating two of the 15 Cdg nominees, “Jojo” and “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.”

Whatever you think of the way that Game of Thrones ended, there's no denying that at least one element of the show was stunning from start to finish: the costumes. Created by award-winning costume designer Michele Clapton, the costumes are incredibly beautiful, detailed, and packed with hidden details and elements that relate to the character's story and development.

For Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), his costumes reflect his divided loyalties to House Stark and House Greyjoy, as well as his journey from Ward to traitor, to Reek, to hero. From the book 'Game of Thrones: The Costumes', as well as from the series itself, we can see just how much thought went into the costumes that Theon wears throughout his journey.

For any Daenerys Targaryen stans still reeling over that controversial Game of Thrones series finale, it looks like the Mother of Dragons' fate was foreshadowed long before Jon Snow showed up with a knife. In an interview with TV Guide, Emmy-winning costume designer Michele Clapton revealed that Daenerys's white fur coat in the season eight premiere was a huge hint at her transformation into the Mad Queen. More than a few Reddit users caught onto the significance of Daenerys's wardrobe while the series was still on air, and we should have known our Khaleesi was going to lose control all along.

"When she arrives and descends on this dragon, she is this sort of angel of mercy."

"Initially it was about the idea that if she's riding a dragon to the North, she should be warm," Clapton said. "And then I decided that actually it's the first time she's performed...

The Costume Designers Guild announced their nominations for the 22nd Cdga Awards on Tuesday. Among the nominees are Arianne Phillips for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Mayes C. Rubeo for “Jojo Rabbit” and Mitchell Travers for “Hustlers.” “The Irishman” is notably absent from the field.

The Costume Designers Guild celebrates excellence in film, television and short-form costume design. As previously announced, this year’s host will be Emmy-nominated writer, producer, author, director and actor Mindy Kaling, while the honorees will include Mary Ellen Fields (distinguished service award), Michael Kaplan (career achievement award), Adam McKay (distinguished collaborator award) and Charlize Theron (spotlight award).

“On behalf of the Costume Designers Guild, I’d like to congratulate all of our 22nd Cdga nominees. This year is a particularly exciting year for television as we have updated our rules of submission. Designers now submit a single episode that best represents their work on a series.

Nominees for the 22nd annual Costume Designer Guild Awards included frontrunning period pieces “Dolemite Is My Name,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and “Rocketman.” They were joined by “Downton Abbey” and “Jojo Rabbit.” This definitely bodes well for Ruth Carter (“Dolemite”) in her bid for a second consecutive Oscar following “Black Panther.”

However, surprise no shows were “Joker,” “The Irishman,” “Little Women,” and “Judy.” And, Deborah Cook, who became the first costume designer from animation to get nominated by the Cdga for her breakthrough work on “Kubo and the Two Strings,” was denied this time around for her great Victorian-era work on Laika’s stop-motion Oscar contender, “Missing Link.”

Contemporary nominees, meanwhile, included “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “Hustlers,” “Knives Out,” “The Laundromat,” and “Queen & Slim.” But “Bombshell” didn’t make the cut.

And Disney swept the sci-fi/fantasy category with nominations for Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame” and...

The costume designers responsible for the eye-catching outfits worn by Jennifer Lopez in “Hustlers,” Taron Egerton in “Rocketman” and Eddie Murphy in “Dolemite Is My Name” have been nominated for the 22nd annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, the Cdg announced on Tuesday.

The “Hustlers” costumes will be competing against “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “Knives Out,” “The Laundromat” and “Queen and Slim” in the Cdg’s contemporary film category, while “Dolemite” and “Rocketman” will go up against “Downton Abbey,” “Jojo Rabbit” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” in the period film category.

In the sci-fi/fantasy category, the nominees are “Aladdin,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Captain Marvel,” “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

The Costume Designers Guild has revealed nominees for its 22nd CDGAs, which celebrate excellence in film, TV, and short form costume design. Winners will be announced at a ceremony January 28 at the Beverly Hilton to be hosted by Mindy Kaling.

The guild previously announced that this year’s Cdga honorees include Mary Ellen Fields (Distinguished Service Award), Michael Kaplan, (Career Achievement Award), Adam McKay (Distinguished Collaborator Award) and Charlize Theron (Spotlight Award).

This year marks the first under new rules on the TV side in which designers now submit a single episode that best represents their work on a series.

Last year, Black Panther‘s Ruth E. Carter, Crazy Rich Asians’ Mary E. Vogt and Sandy Powell for The Favourite were among the film winners. Carter went on to take the honor at the Oscars.

Last week the winds of winter came to a chilly BFI Southbank as the cast and crew of HBO’s decade-defining TV show Game of Thrones gathered for a series retrospective.

To celebrate the DVD and Blu-ray release of Game of Thrones, Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark), Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy) and Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) were on hand to showcase some never seen before bonus material on the big screen for the first time, which was followed by a panel discussion with host Edith Bowman. The cast was joined on stage by members of the off-screen team that helped create the show: Sarah and Barrie Gower (Prosthetics Department), Tommy Dunne (Weapons Master) and Michele Clapton (Costume Design).

Colin Hart and Scott Davis were our Men of the Watch on the red carpet, and we spoke to the cast and crew about their memories of the show, their characters, and which...

Cersei Lannister is one of the most clever and calculating characters ever on Game of Thrones and she even has the wardrobe to back that up. Game of Thrones' costume designer, Michele Clapton has made Cersei's clothing scheme as intricate as the character's plans. As a result, she has one of the most complex fashions and fashion statements in HBO's dark fantasy show.

But of course, that's already a given since Cersei was meant to be the antithesis of the innocent and helpless fantasy princess or queen popularized by Disney. Despite her looks, she's the most Lannister of all the Lannisters. Make sure to take note of that before dressing up as Cersei and do keep these costume hidden details in mind to successfully evoke her.

While The Crown is about to premiere its third season, we've definitely fallen in love with the show over the past couple of years. Claire Foy plays Queen Elizabeth, and it's safe to say she absolutely slayed this role through and through. While she isn't returning for the next season, Olivia Colman will take over as the royal lady. In the past two seasons, we've seen a plethora of brilliant, stunning, and mesmerizing costumes. Sure, she's the Queen, and her gowns and outfits absolutely blow us away. In case you've been wondering about these magnificent costumes, we've made a list. We'd also like to make a shout out to the brilliant Michele Clapton and Jane Petrie, who were the costume masterminds behind season 1 and 2 respectively.

At the 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, “Game of Thrones'” craft dominance was a testament to both its cultural impact and cumulative excellence. The HBO juggernaut grabbed 10 awards (out of 18 nominations) for its final season. The series won for casting, fantasy/sci-fi costumes, editing, main title design, music composition, makeup (non-prosthetic), sound editing, sound mixing, special visual effects, and stunt coordination — but significantly, the editing victory for “The Long Night” is the key predictor for next Monday’s outstanding drama Emmy win, since five of the last seven winners have gone on to take the big prize.

The series’ final season was capped by the extraordinary work of costume designer Michele Clapton and the VFX team led by supervisor Joe Bauer. Clapton earned her fifth Emmy, concluding with Sansa’s (Sophie Turner) wolfish coronation gown with metal bodice, wielding both power and respect. And the VFX dwarfed all previous annihilation...

The Crown is about to come back for its third season on November 17th, 2019, and we know you're just as excited as we are. Unfortunately, the brilliant Claire Foy will not be returning, but we respect the show's commitment to realism and a super quick royal timeline. This show is intense, dramatic, and features a brilliant script, cast, and director. Every scene is bound to blow you away with how stunning it is to the eye, and of course, that definitely includes the costumes.

From every gown to every suit, this show is absolutely slaying the game with its gorgeous costuming. We'd like to take a second to thank the brilliant masterminds behind these looks, Michele Clapton (season 1) and Jane Petrie (season 2). We know there are way too many beautiful costumes to keep track of, so we thought we'd make a list. So without further ado, here are the 10 best costumes on the show,...

Fans of Game of Thrones may still be engaged in heated debate over whether Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) turn to the dark side was sufficiently foreshadowed, but there is one person to whom the Mother of Dragons' return to her Targaryen roots is clear as day. "It's somewhere I wouldn't have predicted her going but it was amazing to see how easily it seemed to develop out of the direction that her costumes had been heading," says costume designer Michele Clapton.

Given its record-shattering 32 Emmy nominations on Tuesday, “Game of Thrones” naturally dominated the craft categories as well for its Season 8 finish, grabbing 17 craft nods. However, HBO’s highly acclaimed limited series “Chernobyl” came in second with 14 craft nods. Also faring well were Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and FX’s “Fosse/Verdon” with 10 nominations; Netflix’s “Russian Doll” with nine; HBO’s “True Detective” and “Barry” with eight; HBO’s “Deadwood” reunion movie, Netflix’s “Our Planet,” and, surprisingly, last season’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” from Hulu with seven; “RuPaul’s Drag Race” with six; and Showtime’s “Escape at Dannemora,” Netflix’s “When They See Us,” HBO’s “Sharp Objects,” FX’s “Pose,” Netflix’s “Glow,” and Nat Geo’s “Free Solo” with five.

Game of Thrones' record 32 Emmy nominations, which were announced Tuesday morning, dominated the creative artists categories and could extend the wins of its artists, many of whom have worked on the series for many seasons.

VFX supervisor Joe Bauer has already won five Emmys for the series, while VFX producer Steve Kullback and VFX associate producer Adam Chazen — who have been with the series since season one — have six each.

“Game of Thrones” star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau considered Michele Clapton’s costumes to be instrumental in portraying Jaime Lannister. “When Jaime was a prisoner and wearing only rags, the costume tells a story of being broken,” says the Denmark native and prior Emmy nominee. Likewise, “You put on the Lannister armor and it simply exudes power and strength.” The outfits that inspire confidence in his own life come by way of stylist Ilaria Urbinati. “I’ll put on a beautiful suit and will think it looks fine. And then she’ll go in and do the tailoring and I can see it actually looks so much better.”

After scoring four consecutive drama series nods, “Game of Thrones” finally won the Emmy for Season 5. “It was overwhelming because we didn’t expect it,” says Coster-Waldau. “Although they’d won technical awards, the idea that it could win a main award was far-fetched.

One of the worst fears “Game of Thrones” fans had going into the final season’s third episode, “The Long Night,” was that the Army of the Dead attacking Winterfell would include the resurrected zombie versions of such beloved characters as Kristian Nairn’s Hodor. While the writers fortunately did not go down that painful route, they did once discuss the potential for beloved dead characters to return as white walkers. Vanity Fair has published exclusive storyboards from the show’s main storyboard artist, William Simpson, that reveal there was a plan at some point in early development to revive dead characters and have them join the Army of the Dead.

Per Simpson’s art, the seventh season premiere “Dragonstone” was originally set to feature the zombie version of the dead wildling Karsi (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen). The character became a fan favorite after her appearance in the battle episode “Hardhome,...

It's no secret that the costumes of Game of Thrones are incredibly vital to all of the world- and character-building that has happened throughout all eight seasons of the series.

The Oscar frontrunner for Best Costume Design, “The Favourite,” won a top honor at the Costume Designers Guild Awards on Tuesday. It picked up the period prize over two of its Oscar rivals — “Mary Poppins Returns” and “Mary Queen of Scots” — as well as “BlacKkKlansman” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Another Oscar contender in that category, “Black Panther,” won the fantasy film race over “Aquaman,” “The Avengers: Infinity War,” “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” and “A Wrinkle in Time.”

And the contemporary costumes of “Crazy Rich Asians” prevailed over “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,” “Ocean’s 8,” “A Star Is Born” and “Widows.”

The fifth Oscar nominee, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” was snubbed by the guild which has a stellar track record at honoring the eventual Oscar winner. The winner of the period film Cdg prize tends to repeat at the Oscars. However, that has not been the case for the last two years running.

Four of our five predicted nominees for Best Costume Design at the Oscars — “Black Panther,” “The Favourite,” “Mary Poppins Returns” and “Mary Queen of Scots” — reaped bids for the Costume Designers Guild kudos. While our fifth contender – “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald — was snubbed, fans of that film should take heart from the fact that these awards often overlook one of the Academy Awards nominees. However, the Cdg has a stellar track record at honoring the eventual Oscar winner.

Our Oscar frontrunner “The Favourite” as well as third and fourth-ranked “Mary Poppins Returns” and “Mary Queen of Scots” contend for best period costumes as do “BlacKkKlansman” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Besides the second-ranked Oscar contender “Black Panther,” the fantasy film nominees are “Aquaman,” “The Avengers: Infinity War,” “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” and “A Wrinkle in Time.”

And the contemporary costume nominees are “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,...

The Costume Designers Guild has announced its nominees in film and television categories for 2018.

In the contemporary film races, “Crazy Rich Asians” was nominated alongside “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,” “Ocean’s 8,” “A Star Is Born” (extending its streak of nominations from every single industry group so far) and “Widows.”

For period film, nominees were “BlacKkKlansman,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “The Favourite,” “Mary Poppins Returns” and “Mary Queen of Scots.”

Nominated for sci-fi/fantasy were “Aquaman,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Black Panther,” “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” and “A Wrinkle in Time.”

In the television categories, nominees included “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” “This Is Us,” “Glow,” “Outlander,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Star Trek: Discovery” and “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.”

Previously announced, the guild’s Career Achievement and Distinguished Collaborator honors will go to Ruth E. Carter and Ryan Murphy, respectively.

Full list of nominees below.

At long last “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” has entered awards season thanks to the 21st Costume Designers Guild Awards. The Cga has announced its 2019 nominees in three film categories, seven television categories, and one short form design category, and the group brings expected Oscar contenders up against some fun, lighter fare like “Mamma Mia!” and “A Wrinkle in Time.”

A majority of IndieWire awards editor Anne Thompson’s current predictions to land Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design are represented by the Cdga. Erin Benach (“A Star Is Born”) and Ruth Carter (“Black Panther”) are competing in the Excellence in Contemporary Film and Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film categories, respectively, while Julian Day (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Sandy Powell (“The Favourite”) are nominated in the Excellence in Period Film. Powell is a double nominee, with her work on “Mary Poppins Returns” also nominated for Excellence in Period Film.
