The winners of our Game of Thrones Complete Series & Season 8 Blu-Ray Giveaways!

The Game of Thrones: The Complete Series and Season 8 DVD and Blu-ray boxsets are available as of today, and Watchers on the Wall is celebrating the occasion by revealing the five winners of our recent giveaway contest.

We’ve gathered up all your entries, and if you’re one of the lucky five, you’ll get either the Complete Series Blu-ray, the Season 8 4K Blu-ray, or one of three Season 8 Blu-ray boxsets.

Imagine a drum roll, please, for the revelation of our first winner…

Queen Marx!

Queen Marx said her favorite moment from the final season is Jon going beyond the Wall at the end. A beautiful ending for a character who’s gone through so much… and now, Queen Marx, you’ll get to relive it, alongside the rest of season eight… and every other season! Indeed, Queen Marx goes home with the grand prize: Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection!

Exclusive to this amazing all-encompasing collection is the Game of Thrones: Reunion Special, a reunion show shot live in Belfast with cast from previous seasons as well as the last one, hosted by Conan O’Brien, assembled in segments focused on Houses Lannister, Stark, & Targaryen and concluding with the key players all onstage for their final reflections on the years they shared in Westeros and Essos.

Next, the winner of the 4K Blu-Ray copy of Season 8 is…

Michelle Carlton!

Michelle’s favorite moment was Drogon melting the Iron Throne and then carrying Dany away, which she’ll now get to rewatch in excruciating 4K detail.

Finally, we have three Blu-ray copies of Season 8 to give away. The boxset contains not only all six episodes of the final season but amazing extras such as The Last Watch, Jeanie Finlay’s documentary of the making of the season; When Winter Falls, an exclusive 30-minute featurette with cast, crew, and showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, chronicling the filming of the “Battle of Winterfell”; Duty is the Death of Love, with Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke, and the writers and producers discussing the series finale; several audio commentaries; deleted and extended scenes; new Histories and Lore animated pieces; and more.

The first two winners of our three Game of Thrones Season 8 Blu-ray boxsets come from Twitter, and they are…

Heike Accorsi!

Joey Joyy!

And finally, a winning entrant from Facebook…

Sergio Leonardo Cabrera!

And that’s it! Congratulations, Queen Marx, Michelle, Heike, Joey, and Sergio! These five winners will soon be gifted five new copies of Game of Thrones Season 8 or, in the case of Queen Marx, the Complete Series. We hope you enjoyed the giveaway! Happy holidays and thank you to everyone who took part!

Season Eight Wins 3 Clio Awards, Pterosaur gets Game of Thrones name, and more!

It’s a busy time of year for Game of Thrones fans, is it not? We’re on the cusp of the new year, with season 9 right around the – Oh. Oh, right. Sigh. Well, in any case, the show might be over, but the hits, they keep a’coming! From awards wins to stars idolizing one another to science and GOT merging, we’re seeing it all. We’ve got a couple of itty bitty tidbits to round up so buckle up, and head on in.

Up first? The awards. Never one for sitting on the sidelines, GOT continues to steamroll the competition, and this time at an awards show I’ve never never heard of! What are the Clio Awards? Where are the Clio Awards? Who are the Clio Awards? According to a quick Bing search, I should head over to Google. But according to a Google search, the Clio Awards are the “premier international awards competition for the creative business, celebrat[ing] creative excellence in advertising, and honor[ing] the work and talent that pushes boundaries, permeates pop culture, and establishes a new precedent around the globe.” More specifically, it nominates and awards trophies to ad campaigns, rather than the shows themselves. GOT won three Clio Awards:

Game of Thrones, ‘For the Throne’

2. Game of Thrones, ‘Joust’

3. Game of Thrones, ‘Bleed for the Throne’

Well done, all! And now I’ll add this awards show into my knowledge bank!

Next up, a star in his own right gets starstruck by the star of our show, our very own mother of dragons:

Again I was a little star struck whist being in the same vicinity of the Mother Of Dragons … So nice to see @emilia_clarke in San Fran whilst being wowed by Fleetwood Mac #dreamforce2019

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be famous and run into another famous person. Do you just talk like friends, or do you freak out like so many of us? Well now we have an answer that People would be proud of: Stars. They’re just like us!

Next up: the science stuff. Turns out, paleontologists have a sense of humour too, as shown when they discovered a brand new pterosaur. The newly dubbed Targaryendraco wiedenrothi has some meaning behind its name: “…pterosaurs have inspired some biological aspects of the dragons” claim the scientists. Says study leader Rodrigo Pêgas, “I always thought this was very nice, especially because I work on pterosaurs….I am a big nerd and a big fan of Game of Thrones.”

Well these are all the odds and ends for today. What else is going on the world of Westeros? A release date for The Winds of Winter? A casting notice for House of the Dragon? I’m not sure; You tell me!
