If you haven't seen this episode, Dinklage is working in a confined space with only one actor at a time and in his most powerful scene the camera stays on him while the other character gives a little monologue that most directors would be cutting back and forth between characters for, but Dinklage's performance is so overwhelmingly intense and perfect the powers that be chose to ignore the other actor's face entirely and just stay close up on Peter's for the duration. Highly unusual but the wise choice, an award-winning moment of TV (or film or any medium for that matter). Bravo Peter Dinklage!

I agree, with the high point being the exchange with Prince Oberyn culminating in the "just a baby" line. And, I thought that Pedro Pascal as Oberyn was just as good as Dinklage in that scene. I can hardly wait for the next episode when (as we all predict) Oberyn kicks The Mountain's ass.
