People are very excited about the upcoming season 6 of "Game of Thrones," and one of the major players Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in the series is constantly being hounded for updates about the characters and the show in general.
During the Golden Globes party, Clarke looked resplendent in a tight-fitting sheer gown with rose appliqués. As happy as she was to talk to the press, Clarke still can't dish out any of season 6's secrets.
"I really can't say much apart from you'll see the biggest moments on television that have ever existed," she told E! Online. "There's something for everyone."
When asked about the fate of one particular character - Kit Harrington's Jon Snow - who unfortunately met his cruel end in the season 5 finale, Clarke simply shook her head. She later added, "You know, it's just going to be big."
Since the show led by Dan Weiss and David Benioff is moving away from the novels written by author George R.R. Martin, Clarke revealed that the entire cast and crew of the show are feeling both "nervous and excited" since they are now more uncertain than ever who will live to see another season.
For instance, Stannis Barratheon in Martin's novels is still alive and kicking, but in the show, he has already been killed off by Brienne of Tarth.
Meanwhile, Clarke told The Wrap during an earlier interview that
Cate Blanchett in the movie "Elizabeth" really inspired her portrayal of Khaleesi.
"That was something I watched a lot while preparing for Season 1," Clarke said, since the 1998 movie had a "strong arc" that matched what she wanted to portray.
"And the fact that it was rooted in reality was empowering, to say the least," Clarke added. "I was trying to draw comparison from as many strong women as I could. I was so lucky because there was such a journey in the first season. So I could have it be the put-upon abused naïve child that she was in the beginning and then through each different epic turn of events throughout that first season I was able to harness each strength that came with those events and realize the steeliness I could inhabit as an actress."
Interestingly, "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin also drew inspiration from Queen Elizabeth's family tree while writing the series, although he did say that there is "really no one-for-one character-for-character" comparison between his characters and historical figures.
