Carice Van Houten discusses Melisandre-hate and season 6 and Game of Thrones wins more awards

Melisandre

Carice Van Houten stopped by The Wall Street Journal to discuss her latest film, Race, and share her thoughts on Melisandre’s journey thus far and what she looks forward to next season. In other news, the Game of Thrones sound mixing team, makeup artists and hair stylists recently won at the CAS Awards and Make-Up Artist and Hairstylist Guild Awards, respectively.

Carice Van Houten spoke to The Wall Street Journal about her upcoming movie, Race, in which she plays filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl and, of course, Game of Thrones.

Van Houten recalled how she opted out of auditioning for Cersei Lannister for season 1 because of the intimidating time commitment and discussed the fan reaction (though she “wouldn’t say it was fans”) to Melisandre’s sacrifice of Shireen. “I’ve never had so many people say on Twitter, ‘Die, bitch. Die, die , die, die’ … Twitter is a really dark place” she said.

Still, she admits, “It’s sort of cool to be hated that much because … in my own country [The Netherlands] I play much lighter stuff.”

When asked about next season, Van Houten, of course, denied rumors that Melisandre resurrects Jon Snow but called season 6 her favorite season so far.

In other news, at the 52nd annual CAS (Cinema Audio Society) Awards yesterday, “Hardhome” won for best sound mixing in an hour long television show and, at the 2016 Make-Up and Hairstylist Guild Awards, Game of Thrones‘ make-up artist, Jane Walker, won Best Period and/or Character Make Up and hair stylists, Kevin Alexander and Candice Banks, won Best Period and/or Character Hair Styling.
